President
Donald Trump says the problem with the
Oscars is "we don't have Stars anymore" — except for him.
Viewership of Sunday's Academy Awards broadcast plunged to a record low of 26.5 million people. According to the Nielsen company, that's a 20 percent drop from the 33 million people who watched last year's show.
Trump tweeted Tuesday: "Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don't have Stars anymore - except your President (just kidding, of course)!"
Sunday's broadcast included a few barbs that host
Jimmy Kimmel directed toward the White House. Kimmel later chimed in on Twitter, firing back at Trump.
