  "account": "Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Donald Trump during Tuesday's episode of \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" for essentially suspending himself from the White House press. Reflecting on the one-year anniversary of his own suspension from the show, Kimmel highlighted the ripple effect of Trump's White House press ban. \"As a result of Trump's ban on CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, the major networks, including Fox, have decided to pull what is known as press pool coverage,\" Kimmel stated. \"The outlets take turns providing a live TV feed of all the president’s events.\" Kimmel emphasized that Trump, who loves being on television more than anything, is now facing a situation where the only camera at the White House is a Ring camera Melania had mounted on her bedroom door to keep him out. Turning to Trump's \"minions,\" Kimmel criticized their attempts to defend the White House's decision to ban three reputable news organizations. \"There is no defense for why the White House would ban three reputable news organizations because he doesn’t like what they have to say,\" Kimmel remarked. The comedian also pointed out the irony of the situation, as Trump led the push to have \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" suspended over his Charlie Kirk death remarks exactly one year ago.",
