Donald Trump, the ex-President, is ridiculing Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night host, for publicly reading a post attacking him on live television. In a recent interview with Fox News, journalist Howard Kurtz inquired about Kimmel’s choice to address Trump’s criticism during the Oscars.

“Look, Jimmy Kimmel, every night he hits me, I guess, his ratings are terrible. He’s not a talented guy, I hear he hits me all the time. So I figured I’d hit him cause I thought he was a lousy host. I put it out on Truth… I never expected he was going to be reading it,” the former president said.

He continued:

“Now the big story is that they all begged him not to do it. Don’t do it. He probably stupidly… had to act in a short period of time, like minutes, right? He had minutes cause he’s on air. He sees this thing, and he wants to go out there and he wants to, I guess, confront me. And he ends up reading my Truth. I thought, ‘This guy’s even dumber than I thought.’ The thing went viral, it’s been all over the world now. And all he had to do was keep his mouth shut.”
