Alright, let’s jump right in. Yes, thank you, Caroline. Thank you, thank you.

Beyond the ballroom and the Rose Garden patio, is the president considering any other major renovations at the White House? Not to my knowledge. But clearly, he’s a builder at heart—always thinking about ways to improve the grounds. Right now, the ballroom is the main focus.

Last week, as you all know, President Trump took to social media, sharing memes, videos, and reposting others’ content. It’s refreshing in a sense: a president speaking directly, unfiltered. But sometimes it’s also absurd. Take, for example, him posting a fake AI video of himself—deep fakes he didn’t realize were fake. When they were deleted, it was a tacit admission that, yes, mistakes were made.

Press secretary Caroline Levit, who insists Trump didn’t do something in 2003 when she was five, has become a lightning rod for comedy. Jimmy Kimmel, for example, asked, “Does the White House have HR?” The audience went wild. It wasn’t just a joke; it summed up the absurdity of the administration’s latest gaffe.

Levit herself became a recurring punchline in Kimmel’s skits. She inadvertently revealed details about Tom Homan meeting with undercover FBI agents, sparking media chaos. Meanwhile, Trump continues to push his narrative, framing the DOJ as weaponized against his allies, claiming Homan did nothing wrong, and painting FBI operations as politically motivated.

CNN host Casey Hunt tried to steer Levit back on topic during a 2024 interview, but she doubled down, accusing moderators of bias and defending Trump’s fitness claims. The segment went viral; within hours, late-night writers nationwide were scrambling to incorporate the moment into monologues.

By January 2025, Trump was back in office, and 27-year-old Caroline Levit was officially White House press secretary. The president’s annual checkup at Walter Reed made headlines, with exaggerated claims about his health and abilities adding to the surreal media circus.

When Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Levit and the administration, the clips went viral. Even conservative outlets couldn’t resist sharing them. Kimmel’s deadpan humor turned administrative chaos into national punchlines. From influencer-friendly press plans to bizarre public remarks, Levit embodied the administration’s awkward impulses.

A notable moment: October 15, 2025, during a morning photo op, Trump commented on Levit’s lips. Cameras captured it. Kimmel immediately ran the clip, paused, raised an eyebrow, and quipped, “Does the White House have HR?” The crowd erupted. The line became a viral meme overnight.

Meanwhile, Trump announced a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times—numbers so absurd they rival his social media antics. Social media exploded. Late-night comedy ran wild. Kimmel’s sharp commentary highlighted the administration’s absurdity, with fans and viewers sharing, laughing, and debating the spectacle.

This ongoing feud illustrates a critical point: humor remains one of the last honest forms of media commentary. Trump tries to control the narrative; Kimmel keeps reclaiming it with wit.

And amid it all, the Epstein files linger in public discussion, creating speculation and tension. While rumors swirl, Kimmel continues to hold up a mirror to the chaos, exposing absurdity with a single perfect line: “Does the White House have HR?”

In less than 18 months, Kimmel has roasted Levit for her CNN feud, mocked her influencer-style press room, and turned the administration’s gaffes into viral late-night moments. It’s not just comedy—it’s resistance in real time, capturing the absurdity, contradictions, and chaos of the Trump White House.

For viewers, this saga is a reminder: the spectacle continues, the narratives twist, and the absurdity keeps unfolding—all while late-night humor remains the clearest lens on an increasingly surreal presidency.
