With just five states left to be called in the US presidential elections, there's an uneasy kind of quiet at the White House. Sometime around 5.30 pm on November 4, the Trump White House confirmed a lid, which means we wouldn't be hearing from Trump that evening.

Coming from the Trump White House, an official lid is uncommon, at best. The pattern extends to social feeds. The White House official handle hasn't tweeted since a fluttering flag video on November 3, while Trump hasn't posted for more than 11 hours.
