It seems to me that "daylighted" is newspeak for "released". Obviously fine to use the term in a quote, in no small part to relate how much obfuscation is involved. However I regret that you've granted it any legitimacy by using it in your article.

As for trump as a verb, for me it will always mean to play a stronger hand, not always in a card game. Pity we can't use drumph as a verb for that meaning (Drumph being the president's ancestral surname). Or maybe a compound: dumpsterfire, as in "county council agreed to dumpsterfire the NHH". ;)

I like "trump" as a verb that applies to more than card games but can't believe that "daylight" is now considered a verb. Yikes!
