It was past midnight in Florida this week when President-elect Donald J. Trump decided to mock Justin Trudeau on social media, calling the prime minister of America’s neighbor the “governor” of “the Great State of Canada.”

The middle-of-the-night jest was the latest reminder that Mr. Trump, a well-known night owl, seems to rev up after the sun goes down. He has been the president-elect (again) for 37 days, but he has been most active in the evenings, hosting lavish dinners, announcing nominations and firing off texts to his aides.

Of the more than 80 personnel announcements Mr. Trump has made since Election Day, 45 have been announced in social media posts and emails that he has sent after 6 p.m. Many have come after 10 p.m., prompting a wave of social media chatter and television coverage that sometimes continues throughout the night and into the early morning hours.

One of his veteran staff members said Mr. Trump was known to leave voice mail messages in the middle of the night saying: “This is your favorite president.” He sometimes follows up the next day, suggesting the person might want to share the audio with his friends and family.

Steven Cheung, who will be the communications director in Mr. Trump’s White House, said that “important work is being done day and night.” He added that the round-the-clock activity is a sign of how serious Mr. Trump is about getting work done starting on Day 1.

“The only complaints I’ve heard are from reporters who are angry their dinner plans at Le Dip and their cocktail parties are spoiled,” he said, referring to the restaurant Le Diplomate, a frequent gathering spot in Washington for journalists and their sources in government.

Trump’s Transition Business Largely Happens After Night Falls

Like the drones. 🤔

Mr. Trump, a well-known night owl, seems to rev up after the sun goes down.

It's just like the Good Book sez,

Genesis 1

4 And God saw the light, that it was good [ki tov = 47]: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

God Bless America:

There's a place down the street we call Sam's Place.
It starts a-jumpin' every evening when the sun goes down.
You can always find me down at Sam's Place,
'Cause that's where the gang all hangs around...

... They're playing country music down at Sam's Place
from the setting sun until the break of Day.

Sam's Place

A day without Buck is like a day without Hope!

I've got a Tiger by the.. tale it's plain to see (starting at min 11:55)

Nice touch with the Chanukah menorah overhead!

📌 "Don't make me come down there." ~ God

That’s right - Trump’s the one who’s been sending the drones up in Jersey. The transition team is collecting targeting information on leftists, all of whom will be vaporized by the end of January.
