Trump is living rent-free in Kimmel’s head.

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel closed out the Academy Awards Sunday night by reading a review of the ceremonies that President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social.
Before the final award for Best Picture, Kimmel took to the stage and pulled out his phone to read select parts of Trump’s review which stated, “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."

The former host of The Man Show, who has previously dressed in blackface and made degrading gestures toward women, did not mention Trump by name but asked the audience to guess which former president just posted the comments.
