On Sunday, the 45th president posted on Truth Social criticizing the show, labeling it as “Disjointed, boring, and very unfair.”
Trump criticized Kimmel’s opening monologue and posed the hypothetical question of whether there has ever been a “worse host” at the Oscars.
“Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars,” Trump posted.
