Jimmy Kimmel took time at the Oscars to tweet at Donald Trump

"Hey @realDonaldTrump u up?"

President Donald Trump has yet to tweet about this year's Academy Awards.

It's a departure from his usual Oscars Twitter strategy, which essentially involves scream-tweeting about how much he hates the show.

For example:

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.
