In hopes of getting Trump's opinion of this year's show, Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel carved some time out to egg on Trump via Trump's favorite medium.

It worked out well for Kimmel's social media presence, the tweet quickly out-performed all of his other bits of witticisms.

Considering Trump has a tough time handling Hollywood criticism, we'd guess a presidential Twitter meltdown is forthcoming.
