Jimmy Kimmel Responds To Trump’s Nasty Post: ‘Isn’t it Past Your Jail Time?’

LOS ANGELES, CA (IANS) – Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel took a moment during the live telecast, right before Al Pacino presented Best Picture, to read aloud the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential candidate Donald Trump’s latest social media post. It bashed Kimmel as this year’s Oscars host.

“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,” Trump spewed in his usual nasty form, making personal attacks like a school boy.

He was of course referring to George Stephanopoulos. “He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous,” Trump added.

Continuing with his rant, Trump said: “Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years — disjointed, boring, and very unfair.”

He concluded by asking: “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 fired back at Trump onstage by saying, “Blah, blah, blah … Okay, now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on TruthSocial. Anyone? No? Well, thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching, I’m surprised you’re still — isn’t it past your jail time?”

Trump owes millions in the court cases he has lost to accusations of rape and assault and his business lying and cheating. He is battling several others related to his businesses, political incitement to violence and various charges by women.
