“I thought he was a terrible host because I heard he always hit me, so I thought I’d hit him,” he continued.
The latest sparring match between the two began last week when Kimmel responded on live television to former President Kimmel’s criticism of his hosting skills at the 96th Academy Awards.
Kimmel claimed he tried to share a “review” with his audience, later revealing it was written by Trump. evaluation It was announced on Truth Social less than an hour before Kimmel read it on live television.
“Was there ever a worse host at the Oscars than Jimmy Kimmel?” he said, relaying President Trump’s post to the audience. “His beginnings were as a below-average person trying too hard to be something he wasn’t and could never be.”
Kimmel fired back, saying he was “surprised” to see Trump still awake, and ended by joking, “I think his prison term is over,” which has been going on for years. It was a new attack on the former president, continuing the same theme.

President Trump said Sunday that he did not expect Kimmel to read his post at the awards ceremony, much less so close to the announcement of the Academy Award for Best Picture.
As Breitbart News reported, the former president noted that Kimmel was told not to read out the post behind the scenes, which Kimmel acknowledged after the ceremony.
“Now, the big story is that they all begged him not to do it…’Please don’t.’ He was probably stupid, had to act in a short amount of time, like a few minutes. I know it wasn’t, right? It’s on the air so I had time. He sees this and wants to go out and probably confront me because he’ll end up reading my truth. “Sure,” Trump said jokingly.
“I said, ‘This guy is stupider than I thought.’ This incident went viral and is now all over the world, but all he had to do was keep his mouth shut. .”
