‘Sleepy Don?’: Trump Nods Off During Trial of the Century

Just trying to prove to the base he's not woke.

Username checks out

Sleepy is the product of much GOP work. Donny needs his own.

Drowsy Don?

Tired Trump?

Comatose comb-over?

"Don't you think Trump looks tired?"
To paraphrase for this specific situation. When the Doctor says to Alex, "Don't you think she (Harriet) looks tired." It's planting the seed in Alex to question if Harriet is fit to continue being Prime Minister, or if she is 'too tired'. These 6 words spoken to Alex, Harriet's Sr. aide, inevitably leads to Harriet's downfall

- I always interpreted this as Alex never telling Harriet, but as she knows something was said, it gnaws away at her confidence until she voluntarily steps down.
Domestic terrorist.
We don't need to give him a cute nickname, call him what he is.
- Unfortunately, his base like that he's a terrorist.
  The only way to get them to turn against him is to show them how weak he is.
Tuckered out tangerine?
- Tapped out tenderloin?
All those sound good. I'm going with Drowsy Donnie lol
comatose comb over 💀
Somnambulant sack of shit.
Benedict Donald
Droopy Don
Weary white supremacist?
Fatigued fascist?
Ahh, I know...pooped pussy grabber
Snorin' orange.
Dozy Don
Terrible Twos Trump
Terrorist Trump
Tantrum Trump
Drowsy Donny! That's what we call him!

Trump looks so tired, why do they keep forcing him to run?

Low energy, sad!

He looks like he could use a venti covfefe.

Or a hamberder.

Don't you think he looks tired?

I'm cheering for the big macs
Now I am suddnely afraid what his replacement might look like...
Hes ti'ed...

Maybe they tranqed him to keep his mouth shut

Honestly the best idea a trump lawyer has had in many years.
“We’re doing to inject you with what we’re calling a ‘genius enhancement serum’; it will fortify your already throbbing genius cells and keep you sharp as a tack, ensuring your every response is virtually perfect for your defence in this trial.”
…
😴
I didn't even think of that as a possibility, but damn that seems more and more likely the more I think about it. The only way to prevent him from repeatedly shooting himself in the foot is to literally drug him into unconsciousness. I completely believe that, I've heard him talk before. Hot damn.
- Don’t need to tranq him, just didn’t give him his 100mg of adderall.

Dozy Don and the Despicable Diapers.

There you go world: a new band name for someone to use.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! Dozy Don vs Sleepy Joe in the cage match of the century!

He must have mistakenly taken his Ambien instead of his Provigil.

I read your comment and wondered what Provigil was. Modafinil. I guess I should not be surprised they were all on uppers and downers.
If there’s one thing I’m not gonna shit on Trump for, it’s letting his White House hand out pills like candy. Although it’s pretty shitty to do while still enforcing archaic drug laws
- The people running your country shouldn’t be drugged out. Yeah, hypocrisy is bad.
- The pills shit has been standard practice at the white house. It only got out of hand under trump.

That's the picture the media needs to start using.

Maybe a stupid question but how come in a nation of 330 million people, many of them should be qualified, the people are limited to two bad choices?

Has it always been this bad in US presidential elections?

s it always been this bad in US presidential elections?
Nope. I've been following politics since Nixon and Biden is the best president we've had in the last 50 years.
- Carter was pretty good. Got ousted from his boat by a rabbit, but he was still a decent president.
The problem is the first past the post system which heavily encourages a two-party outcome. A ranked choice system would drastically improve the chances of new candidates or parties to emerge with meaningful results.
But since that hurts the current holders of power, it's pretty unlikely to be enacted anytime soon.
Because the people don’t choose their options, just from the options chosen for them. The rich are one team, and our options are just to give us the illusion of choice and to pit us against each other as if it were left v. right and not haves v. have-nots. Notice the options are always deeply rooted in the “haves” camp…
From the outside looking in (not American, but Canada has similar problems) it looks transparently theatrical. But then I look around in Canada with that same “outsider” perspective and, yeah, it’s just as bad here. Our Premier of Ontario is a slightly less embarrassing version of Trump. Claims to be “for the people” but gives little-to-no fucks whatsoever based on his actions.
Anyway… Ready whenever others are to burn this all down…
To be blunt, do you genuinely believe that the population of the US is capable of agreeing on better candidates?
If so, again to be blunt, how many people would it take to sway this decision, and why can't this number of people strategically ensure that their candidate is chosen?
Admittedly, I'm old enough to remember when Digg tried to make Ron Paul a thing, and when that went hilariously wrong, they shifted to Obama and made out that he was their candidate all along. I'm not saying that it's easy, but mainly trying to say that I imagine that it's actually quite difficult to get 300m people to agree on anything that isn't an incredible compromise.
Not this bad but yeah
There's actually a lot more bad choices but you never know about them because nobody cares.

Hey everybody! I know how to wake him up!

Love ya, Squid. I know we can always count on you to deliver the trombone when it's relevant. I love seeing that in here.
- I do my best.

can you be held in contempt for sleeping during a trial?

You're not really required by law to 'pay attention' unless you're being asked a direct question. Though, I'm sure judges look poorly on such things.
I remember Harvey Weinstein doing the same thing before he got sent to Rikers. :)
Not if you are not required to participate in that part and not causing a disturbance in the court.
This is a jury trial, and jurors are watching. Even during selection. If you don't care enough to stay awake, it's not a good impression.
Probably wouldn't fly. This happens more than you'd think. Court room procedures aren't as riveting as tv would lead us to believe.
I've heard of jurors getting in trouble for it before, but not defendants.
- jurors can get in trouble for it? it's a bodily function and they are almost volunteers. I mean I can see them getting dismissed or maybe being asked if they are ok and to please try and pay attention, but I hope you don't mean real trouble.

Drowsy Defunded Don was right there......

But using his own term against him is always best.

No surprise, babies need their naps.... Treasonous shit stain.

To be fair, the man is traveling constantly right now. I'd be exhausted if I were almost 80 and flying all the time.

To be fair, if you're 80 and the subject of like a dozen court cases, you probably shouldn't be running for president. If he's too tired to pay attention to his court case, maybe he should drop out of the presidential race? Clearly he's too old and low energy to run for president.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time
- He's unfortunately not doing that either
To be fair he's far too old and mentally unfit to be trying to lead the world's largest military.
To be fair he is a terrible person who chose commit the crimes that make all that travel necessary.
His campaigjing also counts as crimes since he regularly incites violence and is clearly committing fraud with his abuse of campaign financing.
Can you point me to your comments where you call out trump for calling Biden "sleepy Joe" despite being the POTUS, when that would make anyone tired?
- Hard to point out what they never said
If he didn't want to be in court all the time, maybe he shouldn't have committed all those crimes.
- You're the kind of person that will never serve on a jury because you believe that if someone is arrested, they must be guilty. Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is the American standard.
So maybe he should dropout of the race then.
To be fair, maybe the presidency is too much for that crook and he should first deal with his trials?
Oh is he piloting or just tired from not being able to access his uppers on court days?
Fair. I wish people on Lemmy could take a genuine comment for what it is and not over-interpret is as political support, as I am sure you don't support this person.
- Why would anyone possibly think a person defending Trump supports him?! /s
  Yeah this person totally isn't a rightwing nutjob, with gems like this in their comment history:
  There's no correlation between the violent crime rate and firearms regulations in the US.

Trial of the century so far

But Biden gets a pass? Lol

Just sayin. This comment section is absolutely hilarious

You're missing the point: everyone is shitting on him for the hypocrisy of it.
Neither "get a pass". They're geriatric deep-throaters for billionaires.
Still gonna vote for Biden, but the boomer-banker oligarchy makes it a Coke versus Pepsi battle to an extreme degree nowadays. It's all Cola, at the end of the day. With Biden, Israel is still gonna get their matzoh ball, hopefully Ukraine will get their borsch, as well. With Trump, no soup for Ukraine. But neither can do, nor want to do, or believe they should do anything that holds the powerful accountable.
The local and state-level elections are where it actually matters to me, at age 40.
Other than that, boomers gonna boom.
obviously he doesn't as insisted repeatedly and frantically by dick bags like you.
- Stepped all over that last nerve you had, I see. Lol.
Are you kidding me? Everyone was shitting on Biden "sleepy Joe" remember? Including Trump himself, oh hypocrisy!
