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.”
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.
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.

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

…
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
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.
Not sure why you would believe anything Robert Hur says 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’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?
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?
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.
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.”

Whatever distracts his base from the actual contents of the trial is a good thing for him.
