This Trump post on his social media "truthsocial" wrote: "Is there a worse host at the Oscars than Jimmy Kimmel? His opening remarks were a below-average level man trying to be something he is not and can never be. Replace Kimmel with perhaps another washed-up but cheap abc 'genius' george slopanopoulos (should be Stephanopoulos, currently host of ABC's "Good Morning America" and former White House communications director during the Clinton administration, will make everyone on stage look bigger, stronger and more attractive."
cannon After blasting the host, Trump turned his fire to the entire award ceremony: "Tonight is also a terrible politically correct performance, and it has been like this for many years.
