Shocking Sunday Scoop: Trump’s Battle on Daylight Savings & Diaper Buzz

I’m scribbling these notes from deep within the Transitionarium, where I’ve spent the last week watching President-elect Donald Trump juggle outlandish pet projects like scrapping daylight savings time—and battling persistent “diaper” whispers.

Welcome to our Sunday special, where everything makes sense only to those of us trapped inside this ongoing political fever dream.

The Week in Review

Karoline Leavitt: The Press’s New Fodder
Since Kellyanne Conway vanished to host that radio show, it’s been Karoline Leavitt’s turn to face the press.

I stood in the hallway, eavesdropping as she cheerily dismissed rumors that Elon Musk is basically Ghostwriting the Trump Administration.

She did the same for the bizarre diaper speculation, pivoting to “historic vigor” talk. If she doesn’t crack soon, we may have found the hardest-working face of denial in D.C.

Kill the Clocks
Trump’s daylight savings crusade is real. I’ve seen the draft executive order: something about “Restoring God’s Natural Time.”

Staffers quietly call it the “Sunshine for Winners Act.”

Last night, he rambled that the clock changes steal precious hours where he could be trending on social media. I can’t help but wonder how the states that live for “falling back” will react to a permanent freeze of the clock.

Diaper Dilemmas
About those diaper rumors—did they start with a rogue staffer’s idle joke?

A reporter’s wild guess?

No one fesses up, but the speculation’s exploded. Even Karoline tried swatting it away in this morning’s presser.

Meanwhile, a cluster of interns discovered “Trump Diaper Memes” swirling online. They were promptly told to “focus on real policy.” But in this place, rumor outraces reality every time.

Musk: The Rival He Barely Sees
While outside media claims Elon Musk is a behind-the-scenes puppet master, from my vantage point inside the building, I can confirm: Musk is nowhere. Trump’s petty revenge plan for “Moose-Mouth” (his private nickname) remains half-baked.

There’s talk of a future event where Musk gets stuck behind a monolithic statue of Trump. If we do host it, I’ll hide in the corner, notebook in hand, marveling at the pettiness.

Q&A Corner

Reader Question #1:
“Does anyone in the Transitionarium take the diaper talk seriously?”
Answer: Officially, no. But I overheard an intern whisper, “Have you noticed Trump takes suspiciously short bathroom breaks?” So maybe the rumor isn’t dead in-house.

Reader Question #2:
“Will Trump’s crusade against daylight savings time actually happen?”
Answer: Inside these gold-plated walls, anything’s possible. He’s drafting memoranda and polled his advisors. At least half of them seem game, figuring it’s an easy “populist” punch. Yet whether Congress bites is another story. Let’s just say the staff is mentally preparing for a 24/7 “Trump Standard Time.”

Coming Up Next

In the Transitionarium, we can barely keep pace with the daily upheaval.

By next Sunday, maybe the big clock purge will be official, or the diaper mania will swirl into full-blown scandal.

Either way, I’ll be here, pen in hand, documenting the latest wave of “did that really just happen?” from the eye of the Trumpian storm.
