Donald Trump doesn’t seem to realize that it’s not 2016 anymore, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough suggested on Monday.

Case in point: the former president’s trashing of Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel on his Truth Social platform during Sunday’s ceremony.

“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars,” Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, wrote Sunday night. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”

It prompted Kimmel to fire back at the quadruply indicted ex-POTUS live on air, asking: “Isn’t it past your jail time?” — a line that garnered a huge laugh from the audience.

“That’s the thing, I guess he doesn’t understand. He just keeps walking into traps,” Scarborough said on Monday’s episode of “Morning Joe.”

“It’s like an old fighter that’s past his prime,” he continued. “The things that may have worked, that may have been disruptive six, seven ― you know, 2016 ― everybody knows what’s coming.”

Trump was “the butt of the joke for millions and millions of people last night,” he added.
