At the Oscars, presenter Jimmy Kimmel took aim at former US President Donald Trump.
During the show, the 56-year-old read a message that Trump had published on his Truth Social network.
“I just received a review,” Kimmel said, then quoted from Trump’s post: “Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars.”
Kimmel then read some more of the insults and ended his summary with “blablabla, make America great again.”
"Let's see if you can guess which former president just posted this on Truth Social?" Kimmel asked, getting a lot of laughs from the audience.
»Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you for watching.
I'm surprised you're still..." said Kimmel and then asked in a pun: "Isn't it past your jail time?" - an allusion to the phrase "past your bedtime."
This is used to express that children have to go to bed because the time is late.
However, Kimmel used the English word for prison.
"He just concentrates on the important things."
