What the place really needs is a comprehensive exorcism conducted by representatives of all religions and spiritual/philosophical persuasions.

And, what the hell - sprinkled with Holy Water, for good measure. Maybe a good smudge with sage and sweetgrass. And an exorcism.

Oh, and shit. Dirty-Diaper Donny has undoubtedly left his, um, mark on the White House with brown spots..... I have little doubt that it is literally a trump dump.

To perform a "Blessing Way". Takes a few days, and some help. A tent for the sand paintings might be a good idea in DC.

a documentary or anything else about the WH operations during a transition.

It's not like the new President moves in and finds the last guys underwear under the bed. Does the sitting Pres usually spend the night at the WH the night before? Do they move out of the residence in advance? When does the new Pres actually move in? That doesn't just happen immediately, it's going to take some time to swap out everything, even with a team working on it, particularly this year in a pandemic.

I still don't think Trump will be at the WH or even in Washington after Christmas. I full expect that he's going to head to Florida for a Christmas vacation and not return.

His staff is going to start bailing very soon. They need jobs and will be jumping to law firms, think tanks, lobbying firms, etc. Trump isn't now, nor ever was, interested in governing. He was only interested in running and that's all he's done for the past five years. Now that running is over and he's lost, he's not going to do anything to make sure the WH is functional for the next 8 weeks. I expect that by the time the new congress is sworn in, the WH will be a ghost town.

The Bidens should think hard about replacing all the dishes, silverware, drinkware and cookware. I would NOT put it past Trump to have all those things sprinkled with ricin, arsenic, novichok, thallium, sarin, and anything else that can kill you.
