Two days after the Oscars [1], President Donald Trump couldn't help but tweet his thoughts — naturally, he also needed to "jokingly" praise himself at the same time. "Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don't have Stars anymore — except your President (just kidding, of course)!"

Trump also tweeted about the Academy Awards [3] back in 2015, though it went viral in 2017 after he became president because he referred to the award show (and then-president Barack Obama) as "a sad joke, very much like our President." The internet was quick to chime in that he should have been talking about himself there — because he's the "sad joke".
Sad joke sums up Trump

Based on this recent tweet, we have a feeling it will go viral again (and so will his latest.) Also, let's not forget he suggested that he should host the 2016 show on Instagram [5]. Unfortunately for Trump, that gig went to Chris Rock [6] before Jimmy Kimmel took [7]over for 2017 and 2018.
