  "account": "Comedian Jimmy Kimmel derided news organizations CNN, MSNBC and Politico for their decision to reopen access to the White House for President Trump, deeming the return of the outlets as \"just inconsiderate.\" After President Trump barred the three news organizations from the White House in response to their coverage labeling his administration's actions as \"fake news,\" the media entities filed a joint lawsuit against the administration.\n\nOn Thursday, a federal judge issued an injunction temporarily blocking Trump's press ban, allowing the outlets back into the Oval Office. Kimmel quipped, \"They're back whether the president wants them or not, and he does not. The only thing more unwelcome in the Oval Office is a salad.\"\n\nKimmel went further to ridicule President Trump's behavior surrounding the Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose visit to Washington, D.C. marked his first time in the U.S. capital in 10 years. \"My nine-year-old had a friend over the house for the first time this weekend, and he wanted to show him all his stuff, his Lego, his video games, his bunk beds, everything. This is exactly what Trump did today,\" Kimmel said.\n\nThe \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" host also advised the Chinese leader against a gesture of goodwill to the U.S. that Xi announced this week, sending two giant pandas to the United States. Kimmel joked, \"If they send Trump pandas, he's definitely going to eat them.\"\n\nThe monologue was interrupted by Kimmel's blonde \"assistant\" Natalie Harp, who playfully took on the role of guardian and protector. When Kimmel attempted to escort her backstage, she firmly insisted, \"I am not a backstage girl!\"",
