How do I Apply Multiple Linear Transformations

I'm trying to use LinearTransformationScene's apply_matrix multiple times:

from manim import *

class LT(LinearTransformationScene):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            self,
            show_coordinates=True,
            leave_ghost_vectors=True,
        )

    def construct(self):
        P     = [[1, 1], [1, -1]];
        D     = [[2, 0], [0, 0.5]];
        P_inv = [[0.5, 0.5], [0.5, 0.5]];

        self.apply_matrix(P);
        self.wait();

        self.apply_matrix(D);
        self.wait();

        self.apply_matrix(P_inv);
        self.wait();

But I get this error: submobjects must be of type VMobject.

I'm hoping to create an animation that:

1. Applies the matrix P
2. Pauses briefly
3. Applies another matrix D
4. Pauses briefly again
5. And finally, applies the inverse of P, P_inv.

How do I accomplish this? There were similar questions posted, but no one posted about this specific error.
