‘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.”
Too perfect.
I like this because it makes me feel like it's a decade ago
Delightful.
MOAR SHUGGAR!
In. Water.
Oh yeah, isn’t there an Adderall shortage right now?
The dude probably just isn’t cranked up on his normal level of amphetamines.
I bet he keeps falling asleep, gets even fatter, and is even less capable of following his own thoughts as the Adderall drought continues.
What a great time for him to be on criminal trial…
This is pretty funny but realistically, even with the shortage, he is still getting his. I myself have to take it and I’ve had zero issues getting it. He is certainly on the top of the list of those receiving it.
Adderall is being generous, this dude is probably shoveling pills and uppers every morning. You don’t just make court appearances and then rally every day of the week at 80 years old without either being in good shape or being on a long list of stimulants.
Give him a UA for recreational drugs today.
Adderall shortage is silly. They should just ask the cartel for help.
Most-damaging-traitor-in-American-history Don.
Using one of the insults Trump commonly hurled at others: he's a very low-energy criminal defendant.
"Don't you think he looks...tired?"
Whatever he or the GOP says is projection. Anything.

Should've gone with "Dozing Don"
Drowzy Don
You can always tell what trump is insecure about. He projects all of his faults on to others. They bother him and as a result he considers his faults the worse thing he can say about someone else.

Every accusation from his face hole is a confession.
He also went on about "sleepy Joe", but now it's "sleepy Don J"
(edited due to autocorrupt)
trump because he has Low T
Very likely does at that age with his lack of self care.
Whatever distracts his base from the actual contents of the trial is a good thing for him.
The trial hasn't actually started yet, so it's probably not a big deal.
Droopy don
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
The former president’s apparent courtroom nap eventually began trending on X, with users flocking to the hashtag #DonSnorleone, a reference to the mafia kingpin Don Corleone from the Godfather series.
“I prefer Presidents who don’t fall asleep before the lunch break in their hush money paid to a porn star election interference trial,” one user mocked.
Mr Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records over so-called hush money payments made before the 2016 election to pay off adult film star Stormy Daniels in exchange for silence over an alleged affair.
The Trump campaign later vehemently denied rumours of the former president’s brief courtroom nap, saying in a statement: “This is 100% Fake News coming from ‘journalists’ who weren’t even in the court room.”

Well he always makes such a big deal about how anti-woke he is. I didn't realize how literally he meant it.
Personally, I like Jimmy Kimmel's "Dozo The Clown".
Lazy! Dozing Donny has better alliteration!
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
