President Donald Trump has long lamented the rise political correctness. In fact, years ago he went so far as to tweet that its killing our country.

Now, he says the best horse in the Kentucky Derby didnt win because of it:

He was talking about how Maximum Security, the initial winner, was disqualified after officials ruled the horse interfered with the others in the final leg. The ruling allowed second-place finisher and extreme longshot Country House to win.

It was the first time in the Kentucky Derbys storied history that a winner was ultimately disqualified for such an infraction.

Trump wasnt the only one who had a problem with it. Maximum Securitys co-owner told The Associated Press the disqualification was egregious and that he might opt to appeal the decision.

As for Country Houses trainer, he didnt like how it went down either.

I feel terrible that I have to apologize for winning, Bill Mott said, according to the Washington Post. I really feel terrible for the connections, for the owners.
