His āSleepy Joeā nickname for his rival seems to have come full circle, with social media users now calling Mr Trump āSleepy Donā
While the rest of the world canāt peel their eyes away asĀ Donald TrumpāsĀ historic criminal trialĀ 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 theĀ 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 ā and at one point may have even fallen asleep.
āTrump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack,āĀ *New York TimesĀ *reporterĀ Maggie HabermanĀ reported.
The observation quickly inspired a new nickname for the 77-year-old former president: āSleepy Don.ā
Yes. We can.
The DNC set the convention for two months from now, if thatās not enough time to run a general campaign, then why is the primary scheduled to keep going on?
Why are so many states not able to vote in the primary until āitās too lateā?
In many elections, that would be reasonable. The difference here is Trump. We have not had a president who so blatantly breaks the law with the level of support he has while his supporters either willfully ignore it or even support it.
So few thought he had a chance to be the Republican nominee in 2016, including Hillaryās campaign. Then, he stomped all of the other Republicans. Still, people he had no chance of winning the general election, and he won. While it is clear he hates learning of any kind (as evidenced by appointing Betsy DeVos, his inability to pay attention to briefings, etc.), his campaign has had opportunities to learn what works and what doesnāt. If the opposition is not unified on ONE candidate against Trump, Trump will win. The consequences of that are too dire, and this we gotta eat the white bread with Kraft singles sandwich. Itās better than the diarrhea sandwich people keep pointing to.
This is the third election in a row where itās trump thoā¦
And if he loses, heās likely running again. If he wins, 2028 is going to be someone else just as bad if not worse.
We canāt run a country āpaycheck to paycheckā, we have to plan further ahead than ānext electionā.
Because we keep running unpopular candidates against himā¦
So letās stop doing that? Biden barely beat trump by the skin of his teeth and Biden is substantiallynless popular than he was four years ago with his own voter base. And that cost over a Billion dollars to beat trump in 2020
Thereās no logical reason not to run a candidate that voters actually like
For the record, I am not downvoting you. Civil discussion is healthy and we need to be having these discussions.
