### Trump Continues to Fume Over Kimmel's Oscars Jabs

Despite six months passing since Jimmy Kimmel's Oscars hosting stint, former President Donald Trump remains incensed over the comedian's on-stage antics. Trump's lingering resentment surfaced again earlier this week during a rally where he launched into an impromptu tirade about Kimmel.

At the rally, Trump revisited Kimmel's reading of one of his Truth Social rants from the Academy Awards. The former president then proceeded to brand Kimmel as "one of the dumbest human beings ever." In response to these remarks, Kimmel played a clip of Trump's rant during his show, and retorted, "Isn't that sweet? He's confusing me with one of his sons again."

The initial controversy stemmed from Kimmel's Oscars joke, which was made after reading aloud Trump's Truth Social post. Kimmel quipped, "I'm surprised you're still up, isn't it past your jail time?" This zinger has clearly left a lasting impression on Trump, who firmly believes that Kimmel's wife, Molly McNearney, disapproved of the joke.

However, to dispel any such notions, Kimmel invited McNearney on stage during his show, where she unequivocally indicated her support for the joke. The ongoing feud between the late-night host and the former president shows no signs of abating, keeping both their followings entertained.
