Donald Trump, who really should have better things to do, has resumed his month-old feud with Jimmy Kimmel.
The former president still hasn’t gotten over Kimmel, who hosted the 2024 Oscars, taking time during the ceremony to read aloud a Truth Social post where Trump called him the “WORSE HOST” ever. Kimmel responded, “Thank you for watching, I’m surprised you’re still — isn’t it past your jail time?”
Earlier today, Trump woke up from his nap to rant on Truth Social about “Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, ‘Picture of the Year.'” He continued:
“It was a CLASSIC CHOKE, one of the biggest ever in show business, and to top it off, he forgot to say the famous and mandatory line, ‘AND THE WINNER IS.’ Instead he stammered around as he opened the envelope. Supposedly his wife, and even management, begged him not to do it, ‘DON’T READ HIS TRUTH, JIMMY, PLEASE DON’T DO THIS,’ they said. He was made to look like a FOOL, which he is, and at the same time go down in Television History as the WORST HOST EVER OF THE ONCE VAUNTED ACADEMY AWARDS!”
Trump seems to be confusing Kimmel with Al Pacino, who presented Best Picture — not “Picture of the Year” — to… and my eyes see… Oppenheimer.
Kimmel once again had a solid response to Trump:
In fairness to our former President, many stable geniuses confuse me with Al Pacino…. pic.twitter.com/dOLT8Q2sSO

If history repeats itself, expect Trump to respond in a month.
