Press Corps Struggles to Keep Up with White House Fun

In a recent interview, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt commented that the press corps is struggling to cope with the Trump administration’s high spirits, sources have confirmed.

According to Leavitt, the atmosphere inside the White House has been unusually jovial, which apparently conflicts with the more somber tone preferred by traditional media outlets.

“It’s like they’re allergic to fun,” Leavitt said, suggesting that the constant laughter and frequent impromptu hallway golf tournaments are throwing seasoned reporters off their game. “They just don’t know how to handle all the jokes and smiles. They’re used to doom and gloom, and we’re here playing musical chairs,” she added with a smirk.

Journalists accustomed to combing through terse briefings and cryptic tweets for hidden meanings are now faced with deciphering the nuances of presidential guffaws and vice-presidential high fives. The shift has reportedly led to an uptick in confused looks and furrowed brows in the press room.

As of press time, sources report a new workshop being offered to the press corps titled “Lightening Up: How to Cover a White House That Doesn’t Stop Smiling,” which includes sessions on joke appreciation and the basics of slapstick humor.
