Overview

• On ABC Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel played a clip showing President Trump reply "very good" when asked how he was holding up after Charlie Kirk's death and then immediately tout ballroom construction.
• Kimmel joked "He’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction" and said the response was not how an adult grieves someone called a friend.
• A second clip from Fox News showed Trump again veering into details about a new White House ballroom while discussing Kirk’s killing.
• Kimmel questioned the reported $200 million price tag for the project and speculated on his show about whether the ballroom talk is meant as a distraction.
• Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot and killed at a Utah event on Sept. 10, and a suspect is in custody as scrutiny of the president’s reaction grows.
