Jimmy Kimmel reacted to Trump's attack on Truth Social by humiliating him in front of a worldwide audience at the Oscars.
Trump wrote 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. 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 reacted near the end of the Oscars broadcast, “I’m really proud of something, I was wondering if I could share it with you, I just got a review and — has there ever been a worst host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars? His opening with that of a less than average person trying to be something that he is not and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up but cheap ABC talent, George Slopinopulous. Blah, blah, blah, make America great again. Oh. Okay, now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social. Anyone? No? Well, thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching, I’m surprised you’re still — isn’t it past your jail time?”

The issue for Trump is that he decided to criticize Kimmel while a global audience was watching the Oscars. Trump never expected that Kimmel would reply to him during the broadcast, and for a politician who constantly claims that the world is laughing at us, it had to be embarrassing to see the world literally laughing at him.
Trump attempted to take down Kimmel with his Truth Social pop gun and ended up becoming a joke for the entire world.
