Trump ignores Oscars, but his son weighs in
So far, Trump hasn’t taken the bait.
Despite all those jokes during the Academy Awards aimed at President Donald Trump and the heartfelt speeches by celebrities targeting his policies, POTUS hasn’t weighed in on Hollywood’s biggest night.
Instead, the president tweeted on Monday morning about health care:
Great meeting with CEOs of leading U.S. health insurance companies who provide great healthcare to the American people. pic.twitter.com/s2NMVMvQq3

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel even tweeted at the president during the show, and racked up nearly 250,000 retweets:
Hey @realDonaldTrump u up?

Yet Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. did have something to say about the telecast. The younger Trump referenced Sunday night’s In Memorium flub, where producers used the wrong photograph during the death reel — inserting an image of a living producer instead of a recently deceased costume designer.
Interesting mistake, its almost like Hollywood doesn't really care about the little people behind the scenes… #oscars#oscarsfail https://t.co/fxrU3wsDbe

Then again, it took Trump nearly a week to break his silence on The Apprentice premiere ratings. But, somehow, we expect that sooner or later he’s going to have a reaction to all this.
