UPDATE 2:18 P.M. EST: Jimmy Kimmel has since responded to the Trumpster’s shade. See what he had to say (below).
Thanks, lowest rated President in HISTORY. https://t.co/E01UgDaZ3T

The President continues to be a regular court jester!
In the past month, Donald Trump has joked about hiding his “bald spot,” his wife leaving him, and the general downward spiral of his presidency.
Now, he’s brought his brand of humor (anything relating to him) to his favorite subject: the seemingly diminishing influence of the entertainment industry!

On Tuesday, POTUS commented on the very serious topic of the 2018 Oscars being the lowest rated broadcast in Academy Awards history, postulating that audiences didn’t tune in because Hollywood just doesn’t have *STARS* anymore.
The stars they lack? Donald Fucking J. Trump, of course! He tweeted:
Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don├óΓé¼Γäót have Stars anymore – except your President (just kidding, of course)!

Hold on, don’t get upset — the Philanderer in Chief made it clear he was totally joking! (But if the Academy wants him to host next year, he’ll do it in an irregular heartbeat.)
Like clockwork, Twitics responded with the President’s own dismal ratings — not to mention, the fact that he still clearly wishes he was a part of the industry he regularly bashes instead of the one he’s supposed to be championing.
See the reactions (below):

Your SOTU was lowest rated in 20 years and your inauguration attendance was pathetic. Nice try, dumb bitch.

You wanna talk ratings? Really? You have no right to criticize anyone or thing’s ratings. Yours are the lowest in presidential history. Careful, you stupidity is showing. Again. #Oscars2018 #Ratings #idiots #trump

You’re not a star. You’re an asterisk on history …
Donald Trump*
*The POTUS with the worst approval ratings.
*The POTUS with the most Russian comrades.
*The POTUS with the highest staff turnover
*The POTUS who is rated the worst POTUS in history.
