‘Sleepy Don’: Trump sparks Twitter hilarity as he appears to fall asleep at trial

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 viewing a single thread.
So...
In 2024 we have one candidate who can't stay awake during his criminal trial...
And one candidate who isn't facing criminal charges because of his age and memory issues...
Special counsel Robert Hur has declined to prosecute President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents but said in a report released Thursday that Biden’s practices “present serious risks to national security” and added that part of the reason he wouldn't charge Biden was that the president could portray himself as an "elderly man with a poor memory" who would be sympathetic to a jury.
“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report said, but added that the evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Why do people keep acting like Biden and trump are in anyway capable of being president?
This could be the easiest election ever if Dems just ran someone who wasnt 20 years past retirement age.
Both sides are not the same. Fuck off with this opinion
No one said both were equally bad...
I said neither are good enough.
It's pretty simple, but so is civility
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.
Set crybots to maximum whinge.
Hur is a fucking political hack, appointed by trump. If he had shit on Biden, we’d never hear the fucking end of it. You guys are fucking dumber than dogshit, in addition to being bankrupt of any morals or general worth.
One side who is facing criminal charges for the laws he broke, and one who didn't break the law.
Yeah, it's clear who the fuckup is in this race, and it's not even close.
Shut up.
Not sure why you would believe anything Robert Hur says since it was proven that he lied in that report.
since it was proven that he lied in that report
I'm just going to finish reading that source you linked, I'll reply back as soon as I'm done.
It's weird tho, I'm having trouble clicking on it. Almost like it's not there, but surely someone wouldn't just insist it was true when it would be easy to prove it.
I’m not going to waste my time since it’s clear you have no interest in anything that contradicts your biases. A simple search will give you what you need if you ever decide to wake the fuck up.
You'd have "wasted" less by not replying again champ.
Just wanted to help out
Fucking idiot
Why is this the only comment this account has made outside of porn subs?
And why do people think the accounts posting pics are actually the women in the pictures? I've always wondered about that one. Is it just roleplay?
Maybe because the magnitude of your idiocy shook them out of their normal lane?
I have a healthier comment history and I'll echo the sentiment:
You are a fucking idiot with ass backward ideas. Delete your account and go back to school, you absolute fucking tool.
I have a healthier comment history
It could just be a coincidence your most recent comment was deleted...
But it was really funny when I saw that.
Have a nice life tho
I've made friends (as in IRL; we hike, shared classes, and go to conventions together) with multiple people who post their own lewds online for money and attention.
Reported as "stalking users/harrassment", but I'm removing it because of misinformation. They do have other comments outside of porn communities.
p.s. Public comments are public comments. It's not "stalking" to look at another users comment history.
The modlog is public as well.
You're right, I missed a few comments they made in this sub like this one:
Anything that denigrates that troglodyte of a woman is fine by me. Poke all the fun you can. Fuck that stupid cunt.
I didn't mean to disparage such an upstanding member of this community.
Oh, not defending them at all, their comments get removed all the time and they got banned from Gone Wild. But at least be honest in your disparagement. ;)
Young people are too smart to vote republican, old people are too dumb to vote for someone for someone younger than them. What you're left with is Biden. He's not ideal, but at least he isn't Russia's little bitch.
So what's your excuse for 08 Obama being young and portraying himself as progressive resulting in not only winning, but flipping some red states for the first and last time in decades?
C'mon! You're not going to get a catchphrase like "yes we can" twice in one lifetime.
Man, you just reminded me how depressing it is both candidates in 2024 are ripping off Reagan's campaign slogans from over 40 years ago...
Like, they were both middle aged adults at the time, so I'm sure they don't realize how much it highlights their age issues.
But it's just depressing republicans and Democrats both go to Ronald fucking Reagan when they think of what voters want.
This shit ain't representation
The dems will field a left wing candidate when the republican alternative isn't a nazi populist who has stated publicly that he wants to destabilise the entire world and become god emperor for life. Simply put there's too much at stake to start taking risks.
when the republican alternative isn’t a nazi
-
That will never happen...
-
Because that will never happen, it means by your logice will always have a neoliberal as president.
Which is exactly why Clinton's 2016 primary campaign was rooting for trump
Your path just keeps the country slowly moving right when Dems are in control, and sprinting right when Republicans are.
The end result is we keep going right .
Like, republicans aren't just magically going to become sane, especially if Dems keep moving right to try and steal voters from Republicans. It just concentrates the crazy and makes more nonvoters.
This isn't an opinion, it's been happening for 30+ years. Even if you didn't notice.
I'm not saying it's sound logic. Just making an observation.
What?
The entire political system is engineered so that voters always think "it's too risky to ask for a good candidate"...
And you're "making an observation" that we should just keep going along with it in perpetuity?
I've voted for decades, always D, and I've only been enthusiastic once.
In 2008 for Obama before he let us down. And he got a landslide victory despite being essentially unknown nationally and flipped states that had been red for decades.
The only other time we saw results like that was FDR...
The people want progressive candidates. If the only thing that's important is beating trump, then we need to run the candidate most likely to win.
History tells us that's a popular progressive, and not an unpopular neoliberal.
-
Of course, the transcript of the interview that report is based off totally supports those allegations. Not politically motivated at all. No sir.
Sheesh.
Well. I linked sources so you don't have to take my word, you started your opinion in a condescending tone....
Do you understand the difference?
Hur declined to prosecute, saying "we conclude that the evidence does not establish Mr. Biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."
No need for a link when you can quote him directly from a widely broadcaat statement.
Conservatism is a vile plague of deception, oppression and death. Every comment you post really seems to drive that point home.
(Stand by for the obligatory "bUt I'm NoT a CoNsErVaTiVe" in 3... 2...)
A decade ago no one would have believed your comment was written by someone who planned to vote Democrat.
Not only is the
Hur
Offensive, the fact your immediate go to would be something making fun of the mentally impaired just says it all.
That shit isn't acceptable no matter how big the tent gets.
What? The guy's name is Robert Hur! That's his name! Lol (although I'd agree he is mentally impaired)
I deleted my comment because it unfairly attacked you assuming you were a conservative, but after reading your post history, I realized you are not conservative. You just dislike Biden, which is fair in my opinion. We really should have run a progressive instead of a geriatric neoliberal.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Love how much mob mentality has been on the rise since trumps election lmao. Who would’ve thought.
Pretty clear to everyone who the lesser of two evils is
Pretty clear to everyone who the lesser of two evils is
...
No one said it wasn't chief...
I said both candidates are bad. Not that they're both equally bad.
If the most important thing is beating trump (and it is) why are we running a bad candidate against him instead of a good one?
He’s not a bad candidate. Could we do better? Always. Is that an option this year? No.
Stop trying to muddy the water to dissuade people from voting at all
He’s not a bad candidate
People are celebrating because he just got up to 43% approval...
His best numbers are Obama's worst.
Biden is less popular with voters than he was four years ago, and it cost a billion dollars to beat Trump by the skin of his teeth.
How is Biden a good candidate?
And keep in mind "not trump" is a pretty common quality shared by almost everyone eligible to run for president.
I agree. The democratic party could nominate ANY candidate who has character, energy, and intelligence - and younger (to better represent Americans), and they'd likely win in a landslide.

Mr. Biden said in February about the report that he was "especially pleased to see the senior special counsel make clear there's stark differences between this case and Donald Trump." But Mr. Biden later said that "there's even a reference that I don't remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn't any of their damn business."
The transcript of Mr. Biden's interview shows the president was unable to identify the precise year, but that he correctly named the month and date. "What month did Beau die? Oh God — May 30th," Mr. Biden said in the exchange.

I always forget whether my mother died in 2003 or 2004. It was right before her birthday, so she died at an age that feels like it should be 2003, but it’s not. I’m 32. Am I too senile to run for president before I even qualify?
