His ā€˜Sleepy Joeā€™ nickname for his rival seems to have come full circle, with social media users now calling Mr Trump ā€˜Sleepy Donā€™

While the rest of the world canā€™t peel their eyes away asĀ Donald Trumpā€™sĀ 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.

ā€œTrump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack,ā€Ā *New York TimesĀ *reporterĀ Maggie HabermanĀ reported.

The observation quickly inspired a new nickname for the 77-year-old former president: ā€œSleepy Don.ā€
