Make the Oscars great again!
Former President Donald Trump couldn’t help but share his concerns and grievances about the 96th Academy Awards, held in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.
“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”

“Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed-up but cheap ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos wrote on March 10. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous,” Trump wrote.
The former commander-in-chief’s message received over 3,000 ReTruths and over 16,600 likes.
While Kimmel was hosting the Oscars, he pulled out his phone and read the post to a theater full of A-list celebrities, who found the message hilarious.
“Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching. I’m surprised … isn’t it past your jail time?” Kimmel snapped back.
Kimmel responded back to Trump’s message with a bit of shade regarding jail time. AFP via Getty ImagesAside from Trump’s distaste for the ABC late-night host, he also suggested the Oscars need a rebrand because they are “boring” and “unfair.”
“Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years – Disjointed, boring, and very unfair. 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,” the former president allegedly shared while watching the Oscars.
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
