The Oval Office Diaper Derby
Or: What the Shadow Knows Under the Blankets of 24/7 Government

Some are calling it The Oval Office Diaper Derby, which is what happens when imperial decline stops wearing a toga and starts wearing a golf shirt.

In the gilded halls of the People’s Palace — formerly the White House, now seemingly rebranded as Trump Tower East — Donald J. Trump returned from another heroic three-hour “working lunch” at his Virginia golf course, where “working” apparently means berating sand traps about stolen elections and demanding that the cart path be renamed in his honor.

Waiting nearby was Natalie Harp, the former cable-news loyalist turned executive assistant, better known in certain corners of Washington as The Human Printer — a title both literal and symbolic. In another administration, a presidential aide might print schedules, briefings, memos, or policy papers. In this one, she seems cast in a stranger role: keeper of the mood, guardian of the grievance, curator of the flattering paper trail, and perhaps the last person in America willing to treat every Trump utterance as scripture hot off the copier.

The rumors, naturally, have grown mold in the basement of the national imagination. Washington loves a closed door. It loves a whisper even more. And when a president builds an entire court around personal devotion, the question is no longer merely who has access — it is who has become necessary.

That is where the satire writes itself. Trump, emerging from the golf course like a monarch returning from battle against par, shuffles toward the colonnade while aides orbit him with the tender panic usually reserved for a toddler near a wedding cake. Somewhere in the distance, government continues its performance of seriousness. Somewhere closer, someone is carrying the notes, the phone, the printouts, the praise, and the emotional wet wipes required to keep the machinery humming.

What, exactly, happens behind the doors? Who knows? What does the shadow know under the blankets of this 24/7 presidency? What does the night staff see? And perhaps the oldest question in the Trump domestic opera: Where is Melania at night?

Not in the room, one suspects. Not in spirit, at least.

This is the real spectacle of the second Trump age: not just the authoritarianism, not just the vanity, not just the endless executive-time fog machine. It is the courtliness of it all. The return of palace politics with worse lighting and better merchandising. A president surrounded not by advisers so much as attendants. Not by a Cabinet so much as a climate-control system for one man’s ego.

The old Washington arrangement was simple: staff served the office. In Trumpworld, staff serve the appetite. They print the praise. They carry the grievance. They soothe the insult. They translate chaos into schedule. They turn tantrums into talking points and then call it leadership.

Forget infrastructure. Forget health care. Forget the national debt. The true public-private partnership of this administration is emotional maintenance: a whole government bending itself around one man’s need to be admired, comforted, defended, and freshly affirmed before the next tee time.

The diaper-industrial complex may be satire. The dependency is not.

God bless America.

And may someone, please, change the channel

You are seeing in real time why Trump companies went bankrupt so many times. Set aside your politics. This guy is incapable of making a deal or meaningful decision and it follows the same cycle. Big flashy announcement (Epic Fury). Adversity hits (Hormuz closed). Defraud stakeholders (promise two week solution). Freeze up (endless two week cycle loop). Compound the problem (resource depletion). Final chance to save face rejected (what you’re seeing now). Bankruptcy strikes and blame others during chaos. Rinse repeat.

If this kind of video is already circulating in May, the campaign ads heading into November are going to be absolutely brutal.

BREAKING: Senator Brian Schatz devises the PERFECT playbook for dealing with Republicans when they pretend to have not seen Trump's disgusting celebration of Rob Reiner's murder.

When they feign ignorance, journalists need to hit back hard...

"Reporters the tweet is short enough that you can just hand it to members of Congress if they 'haven’t seen it,'" Schatz tweeted.

Schatz was preempting a well-worn strategy deployed by prominent Republicans every time Trump says or does something that shocks the conscience. Time and again, they claim to have not seen the more vile Truth Social posts when confronted about them. Speaker Mike Johnson is a particularly egregious offender on this front.

In reality, these Republicans have almost certainly seen Trump's posts, they're just too cowardly to condemn them and can't outright endorse them for fear of losing their faux "Christian" facade. And if they really are not keeping up to date on Trump's Truth Social rants, they're in dereliction of their duties. Since this president regularly issues world-changing policy proclamations via social media, elected officials have a responsibility to follow his account closely.

Trump's recent post about the murder of Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner was perhaps his most evil to date––

"A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS," Trump wrote.

"He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!" he added.

Reporters need to heed Senator Schatz's suggestion. They should print Trump's post out or open it on their phones and physically hand it to any Republicans who claim to have not seen it. Make them grapple with it in public, in real time, and expose their spinelessness for all to see.

Please retweet and ❤️ to urge reporters to do this!

A large flash mob was held in Paris, gathering 100 musicians at the same time to perform a world-famous Ukrainian carol by composer Mykola Leontovych, who was persecuted by the Russians.

I would just like to ask the Republican Party to please put Stephen Miller in front cameras as much as possible from now until the midterms because he is such a likable & charismatic person with so many amazing & popular ideas for people who aren’t white Christian nationalists.

This is super dangerous. Per the Repulicans' own logic (and propaganda!) post the Charlie Kirk assassinaton, he is painting a target on the backs of 10s of 1000s of ordinary Americans who will be gathering to exercise their 1st Amendment protest rights on Oct 18th. Speaker Johnson will be responsible if, God forbid, some right-wing nutjob attacks people at that rally, thinking they're 'Hamas' or 'antifa'.

17 days ago, Southern Arizona voted to send me to Congress to represent them.

Now the government’s shut down, workers are being furloughed, healthcare costs are set to rise, and critical programs are on the line.

I’m ready to get to work, @MikeJohnson.
Why aren’t you?
