Trump Attacks Jimmy Kimmel for Reading His Post at the Oscars — Over a Month Later

As former President Donald Trump is facing a criminal trial in New York City, he is re-hashing another battle.

In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, the former president took aim at late-night host 👤Jimmy Kimmel, writing, “Stupid 👤Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, ‘Picture of the Year.'”

“It was a CLASSIC CHOKE, one of the biggest ever in show business, and to top it off, he forgot to say the famous and mandatory line, ‘AND THE WINNER IS.’ Instead he stammered around as he opened the envelope. Supposedly his wife, and even management, begged him not to do it,” he continued.

Trump added, “Supposedly his wife, and even management, begged him not to do it, ‘DON’T READ HIS TRUTH, JIMMY, PLEASE DON’T DO THIS,’ they said. He was made to look like a FOOL, which he is, and at the same time go down in Television History as the WORST HOST EVER OF THE ONCE VAUNTED ACADEMY AWARDS!”

While hosting the Oscars on Mar. 10, Kimmel decided to read a post from Trump attacking him.

Kimmel said, “You know, doing this show is not about me. And I appreciate you having me. It’s really about you and, Emma and all these great actors and actresses and filmmakers.”
