Jimmy Kimmel used his Monday monologue to highlight Trump banning reporters from three major news organizations from the White House, framing it as retaliation for negative coverage. Kimmel played a clip in which Trump, defending the ban, referred to the building as 'my house' before correcting himself to 'the people's house.'

Kimmel tied the moment to earlier reporting on demolition work at the White House, arguing the correction undercut itself given changes made to the building without public consultation.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A man can catch himself mid-sentence, but the correction doesn't erase what came out first. Calling it the people's house right after calling it his own is the kind of thing a neighbor notices even if he's too polite to say so out loud. The building didn't move, only the pronoun did.
