Donald Trump has tweeted about the Oscars a lot
Donald Trump wasn’t watching the Oscars on Sunday night. Instead, the president hosted the Governors’ Dinner at the White House, the first major social gathering of his administration since the inaugural galas.
It’s probably for the best — judging by his Twitter history, he would have hated it. The outspoken businessman tweeted about the Academy Awards 50 times between 2012 and 2015, and almost all of his comments were negative.
Trump criticized the show’s low ratings three times, took two shots at President Barack Obama and suggested three times that he should host the ceremony himself. That obviously didn’t come to pass, but he did float one other idea that did come true.
"@reza_rezvani: @realDonaldTrump You need to run for President. This country needs you. #Trump2016" zip. I know! #Oscars

Here are a few more of his sassiest comments.
…Overall, the Academy Awards were very average at best.

What ever happened to the good old days of The Academy Awards. This show is an insult to the past, just plain bad!

The Oscars are a sad joke, very much like our President. So many things are wrong!

"@JPNwrites The Oscars can learn a lot from the Miss Universe pageant. @realDonaldTrump" True!

The president was the subject of multiple jokes Sunday night, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he responded with a jab we can add to our list on Monday morning. Watch this space.
