If Spike Lee‘s goal was to get the attention of the orange a-hole in the White House, we think we can safely conclude he got it today. Whether said a-hole will acknowledge it is another matter. So what did Spike do, you ask? Nothing but rip Donald Trump a new you-know-what. Lee called the President of the United States “that motherf—er” in the White House in a lengthy, curse-laden speech during the Tuesday press conference for his new film “BlacKkKlansman,” which premiered Monday at the Cannes Film Festival to a prolonged standing ovation (check out the trailer above).
Spike spoke about his controversial decision to end the film with documentary footage of the violent protest by neo-Nazis and white supremacists last summer in Charlottesville, Va., including scenes of the killing of counter-protester Heather Heyer.

“We have a guy in the White House — I’m not gonna say his f—ing name — who defined that moment not just for Americans but the world, and that motherf—er was given the chance to say we are about love, not hate,” Lee said. “And that motherf—er did not denounce the motherf—ing Klan, the alt-right, and those Nazis motherf—ers. It was a defining moment, and he could have said to the world, not just the United States, that we were better than that.”
