TV show host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t take kindly to US President Donald Trump’s tweets about the Oscars for its low ratings. He used the opportunity to lash out at the president on his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Trump’s tweet:

In response, Kimmel pointed out that Trump himself has had the lowest approval rating among all the presidents in history. “Of course he’s kidding,” the host said. “He’s not narcissistic.”

He had more to add. “Trump always has a problem with the Academy Awards, which is surprising because I really think he would love the best picture winner, The Shape of Water. The movie, if you haven’t seen it, it’s about a monster who has sex with a woman who can’t talk about it. Basically, it’s like his life story. Right?”

Kimmel also cheekily noted that his tweet received many more likes than Trump’s did.
