During the broadcast, Trump posted on Truth Social:
"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."
Trump was attempting to refer to political commentator George Stephanopoulos.
Kimmel caught wind of Trump's comment, read it out on stage and hit back with comments referring to the former President's current criminal charges.
"See if you can guess which former president just posted that?" Kimmel asked the audience."Thank you, President Trump, thank you for watching. I'm surprised you're still watching. Isn't it past your jail time?"
