His ‘Sleepy Joe’ nickname for his rival seems to have come full circle, with social media users now calling Mr Trump ‘Sleepy Don’
While the rest of the world can’t peel their eyes away as Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial gets under way in New York, the former president himself appears to be far less enthralled by the proceedings.
Jury selection got under way on Monday in the first-ever criminal trial of a sitting or former president, as he faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a bid to cover up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
But, according to some courtroom reporters, Mr Trump appeared to struggle to keep his eyes open – and at one point may have even fallen asleep.
“Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack,” *New York Times *reporter Maggie Haberman reported.
The observation quickly inspired a new nickname for the 77-year-old former president: “Sleepy Don.”
You’re missing that the special counsel saying this was extremely editorialized, unprofessional, and dubious at best. This is the counsel’s opinion without facts to back it up.
Whereas Trump falling asleep actually happened without editorializing. NYT is just reporting facts.
FAKE NEWS /s But they are not wrong why is the states voting for these geriatric presidents? There is no one else fit for the role or nobody wants it?
Because both parties are owned by corporate interests and it’s not the voters who truly decide who gets on the ticket.
I think it may be like a peacock with extremely long feathers. It shows other countries that we are so strong that we can survive even with such a massive handicap.
Even the people that try to argue for the goodness of either candidate just say “at least our candidate sort made it through a speech a while ago”. It’s literally never “You’ve got to see this speech our candidate made. It was incredible! Truly a remarkable individual!”.
