Former president Donald Trump blasted “washed up” Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel during the ceremony in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
Trump wrote:
“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars.”
“His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be,” he wrote.
The former president also called on ABC to “get rid of Kimmel” and replace him with George Stephanopoulos.
“Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC’ talent,’ George Slopanopoulos,” he said.
“He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.”
“Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years – Disjointed, boring, and very unfair,” Trump added.
“Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them. Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he concluded.
Kimmel responded to Trump’s remarks by reading the post during the ceremony:

During last year’s Oscars, Kimmel took a shot at Tucker Carlson, claiming he manipulated the new January 6 footage.
The Daily Fetched reported that the far-left comedian did not refer to Carlson by name; it was obvious he was talking about the Fox News host.
“Anyone who’s ever received a text message from their father knows how important editing is,” Kimmel began.
“Editors do amazing things. Editors can turn 44,000 hours of violent insurrection footage into a respectful sightseeing tour of the Capitol,” Kimmel added.
