Trump Mocks Kimmel for Reading His Attack at the Oscars: ‘Even Dumber Than I Thought’

Former President Donald Trump is mocking late-night host 👤Jimmy Kimmel for reading an attack post on live TV.

During an interview with Fox News, journalist Howard Kurtz asked about Kimmel’s decision to read Trump’s post attacking him at the Oscars.

“Look, 👤Jimmy Kimmel, every night he hits me, I guess, his ratings are terrible. He’s not a talented guy, I hear he hits me all the time. So I figured I’d hit him cause I thought he was a lousy host. I put it out on Truth… I never expected he was going to be reading it,” the former president said.

He went on:

“Now the big story is that they all begged him not to do it. Don’t do it. He probably stupidly… had to act in a short period of time, like minutes, right? He had minutes cause he’s on air. He sees this thing, and he wants to go out there and he wants to, I guess, confront me. And he ends up reading my Truth. I thought, ‘This guy’s even dumber than I thought.’ The thing went viral, it’s been all over the world now. And all he had to do was keep his mouth shut.”

During the Oscars on Sunday night, 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.”
