Trump comes for Hollywood again, mocking low Oscar ratings: 'We don’t have stars anymore'

Ratings for Sunday's Oscar telecast dove 20% from 2017, hitting a record low of 26.5 million viewers, a statistic that did not escape the notice of President Trump.

"Lowest-rated Oscars in HISTORY," he tweeted Tuesday morning. "Problem is, we don’t have Stars anymore — except your President (just kidding, of course)!"

The previous record low of 32 million was set in 2008, following an 11-week Hollywood writers' strike that crippled other awards shows.

After mostly ignoring Hollywood for months, Trump seems to be making up for lost time lately, firing off tweets at Alec Baldwin for his "terrible impersonation" on Saturday Night Live and a "very insecure" Oprah Winfrey on Twitter.

His recent uptick in trolling is reminiscent of the early days of his administration when he dissed Meryl Streep as "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood" following her Golden Globes speech and asked attendees at the National Prayer Breakfast to pray for better ratings for his Celebrity Apprentice successor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
