When the sun sets, Donald Trump’s transition efforts ramp up. Since the election, over half of his staff announcements have been made after 6 p. m. , often after 10 p. m. This night owl routine has sparked late-night social media chatter and news coverage. Trump’s evenings are filled with events like lavish dinners and important appointments. He’s known for leaving playful voicemails at odd hours, joking with staff and conducting serious business.

Trump’s team insists he’s dedicated, working round the clock to start strong on Day 1. Critics note that reporters are the ones upset, with their social plans disrupted. During the day, Trump holds meetings at his estate in Palm Beach. Yet, his team expects important work to continue well into the night, even after he moves to the White House.

Trump’s late-night activities are legendary. He often starts his evenings with dinners at his club, where he mixes business with pleasure. Guests like Justin Trudeau have enjoyed these dinners, which can include music controlled by an iPad and conversations lasting into the night. Trump’s after-dark presidency is likely to continue, regardless of where he is.
