Academy Awards Update: Jimmy Kimmel Reads President Trump’s Truth Social Critique of His Performance Hosting Oscars, Leaves Out Harshest Part
ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel read President Trump’s Truth Social criticism of his performance hosting the Academy Awards during the live broadcast Sunday night. Kimmel pulled out his cellphone and read Trump’s ‘Truth’ aloud for the worldwide audience to hear.
Kimmel read about half the statement by Trump, the parts ripping himself and ABC News host George Stephanopoulos. Kimmel skipped over Trump’s harsh criticism for the Oscars show itself but read the end comment, “Make America Great Again!” Kimmel closed with a jab back at Trump, thanking him and asking, “Isn’t it past your jail time?”, which drew a big laugh from the Hollywood glitterati in attendance.
Trump’s Truth Social posted at 9:39 p.m. EDT:
“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. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. 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. 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!”
Kimmel may think he was scoring points against Trump, yet what he did was give about a minute of free airtime to the leading presidential candidate on one the most watched broadcasts in the U.S. (even with its recent decline in viewership) and around the world.
Kimmel and Trump have been feuding for years. Last month Trump hit Kimmel over his saying he might be ending his run as ABC late night host, “They could get a far more talented person, who would also get better Ratings, for 5% of what they are paying this Loser!”
Trump’s comments about low ratings for the Oscars broadcast are accurate.
According to Statista, the number of viewers is way down from previous years:
