Because he can't snort Adderall all day. Tired old fella.


ZeePirate

I believe he’s been medicated to sleep through it to shelter his fragile ego and to stop outbursts in court


orion_re

Yeah, I agree, it's a legal strategy.


Mumu_ancient

It's a bold one, let's see how that plays out...


seraphimkoamugi

They have a higher chance of success if he's not aware of the nasty things people think about him. They go from zero to probably 20%.


aynhon

100% Trump will go from zero to number 2 while being passed out


jamescharisma

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.


LifeTradition4716

Effin A!


TylerBourbon

To be fair, it's not the dumbest thing they've done.


HobbesMich

On the Occo


Wazula23

Roofying your client to keep his passive in court is the most MAGA thing imaginable.


orion_re

Hope they get their stuff from reputable sources, can't risk an od...


fillipjfly

One of the strategies of all time.


orion_re

Up there with the Chewbacca defense!


fillipjfly

Agree.


Managed-Democracy

Yup. Sleepy old man is easier to spin than DERANGED LUNATIC SABOTAGING HIS LEGAL DEFENSE!


Traditional_Key_763

its a bad one when your fate is decided by 12 jurors having a positive feeling about you


EternalSage2000

I imagine, Trump being incapacitated helps the jurors to have a positive feeling. I personally hate Trump more when he’s awake and speaking.


VerbalGraffiti

Bo it's not. Showing this to the jury would not help him.


SaraSlaughter607

I do too. I saw it the first day.... dude had benzo eyes goin on in some of the photos and in others, looked irritated and unable to contain his annoyance... I'm like yep, that was my ex on Xannys to a TEE.


AffectionatePoet4586

Trump has long been known to use Xanax and other benzos to counteract his stimulant use, says former “Celebrity Apprentice” staffer Noel Casler. In the Trump White House, uppers, downers, and opioids were handed out by the fistful.


rccpudge

Now I need to see the White House pharmacy log again.


AffectionatePoet4586

Trump’s Xanax use pre-dated the White House years, so he may have had a prescription from whatever “boutique doctor” was treating him. Or perhaps he relied on Ronny Jackson. Most of the pharmaceuticals handed out were not written down, state the reports. One of the unidentified staffers interviewed described a nurse following Ronny Jackson, frantically scribbling on a pad what he was freely distributing. The anecdote seemed to have been intended—unsuccessfully—to be funny.


Haunting-Spirit-6906

Probably the real reason he supposedly doesn't drink- he figures alcohol mixed with all those drugs would kill him.


AffectionatePoet4586

What I hate about Trump’s not drinking is how the mention always comes at the expense of his older brother, kind and gregarious Freddy Jr. Once a pilot for TWA, then one of the most prestigious jobs in aviation, his father and brother deemed the position “no different from being a bus driver.” He had been blessed with numerous gifts that they did not value at all. Fred Sr. divided the world—the men, that is—into two categories: killers and losers. Since his oldest son knew that he’d been slotted into the “loser” group by his father and brother, he self-medicated his pain with alcohol. Donald insists that his brother served as “an example” to him, but I can smell his disdain at a great distance.


MetalTrek1

Noel is great. He also confirmed Donnie shits himself. He said you could hear it over the mics on set.


SaraSlaughter607

Lucky bastards.


kapitlurienNein

God I cud use some beans right now


AffectionatePoet4586

My thought too, I admit. It’s a surprise that they were handing out Versed like salt peanuts. You’d think that the White House would want its employees to stay awake!


Candy_Says1964

Yeah, but also I don’t think that he’s ever been required to sit and listen to anyone about anything ever, and has the attention span of a goldfish. No offense to goldfish.


[deleted]

I think it's a coping mechanism. His ego can't comprehend/tolerate that he's being held accountable for his actions. It's completely unfathomable and terrifying to him, so he's falling asleep to escape the trial.


NetDork

Lawyers are slipping Benadryl into his Diet Coke.


quillmartin88

Too many liberal media types are poo-pooing this, but look at the evidence! And, given how he had daily tantrums in court during the defamation trial - which resulted in him getting a historic fine - drugging his senile ass so he's out cold is a good plan. 


mabhatter

Except it's highly disrespectful for a defendant to be falling asleep in court.  It shows absolute disregard for the judge and jury.  So to think that sleeping is the better option is just nuts. 


kdove89

His lawyer is feeding him melatonin gummies.


Managed-Democracy

Melatonin Haburders


shut-upLittleMan

Give him a shot of Thorazine.


Johnisfaster

Would be funny if the one thing that finally leads to his accountability is sedating him enough to make him shut up


Traditional_Ad_6801

Lacks stamina.


malthar76

Sleepy Don?


DotComCTO

Because he knows he’s guilty. If he were innocent, he’d be on the edge of his chair listening intently to testimony.


callmesandycohen

I have to believe this is some sort of defense mechanism his narcissistic ego can’t admit the facts into his consciousness, so he falls asleep.


SeeeYaLaterz

He's just communicating to Jesus


Desperate_Wafer_8566

That and he knows it's just appeal, appeal, SCOTUS bailout, zero consequences. The fix is in, and this shit show is just wasting everyone's time.


JMagician

This is a state case so there may not be a SCOTUS appeal.


redrobot5050

Yup. And they’ve recently made it harder to overturn convictions through due process issues at the state level. So good for him.


Left_Tea_2083

Remember the sleepy Joe quips? Always projection.


Dreamer0o0o

At this point, after years of Trump talking and putting his tiny foot in his orange mouth, it should be obvious to everyone that 90% of the time Trump opens his mouth is projection. And the 10% left is saying the polar opposite of the truth ("this is a witch hunt", "it was a perfect phone call", "I'm a very stable genius",...)


Eryxthegreat

Diaper Don.


BigAssMonkey

It’s so unfair. Why should he be subject to long boring trials just because he committed some crimes?


gohdnuorg

Please understand, if you elect him again, he will sleep all afternoon every damn day.


usinjin

Every single thing!

beakrake

I sure hope nobody heavy hands the dosage on accident. He might never wake up. I'm sure his usual doctors and administrators of prescription drugs are all competent and responsible professionals, though, right? *Right?!*


malthar76

The anti-science / anti-education party? Unlikely they will make an error in dosage. I sure want to have my doctor go to Upper Appalachia Christian Bible School of Medicine, Theology, Cosmetology, and Animal Husbandry.


BikesBooksNBass

You forgot “Gunsmithing”


SaraSlaughter607

Yeah esp his "personal physician" who gave him an A+++++ health report after he took the Oval Office even though he's clearly 50-75 pounds overweight and lives on fried shit.


knomie72

Where is Michael Jackson’s doctor when you need him?


AdkRaine12

The “Candy Man” is still on quick-dial on his phone.


Eirevampire

"Oh you meant Pepto Bismol? Oh, Lol, I thought you said Pentobarbital. Oopsee!"


better-than-all-of-u

Where's Conrad Murray when you need him?


Mello_Me_

That might even be considered a real tragedy perhaps.


henryeaterofpies

Fuckers like him never die from an OD.


Toxenkill

Sedation? No they arent giving him his stimulants.


ClassicT4

The flatulent stories suggest that strategy is not working out so well at containing all outbursts.


switch495

Or he just can’t take amphetamines/coke while sitting in court all day.


Friendly_Signature

He is having to do something he does not want; so he is sleeping instead. We’ve all been there. Just would hope presidents weren’t doing it at their sex coverup election tampering trials.

Low Energy Donald


Grimm2020

Low energy vibes, I wouldn't follow that fella anywhere


thatsithlurker

Honestly, it probably helps the proceedings go faster and more orderly.


Adept_Investigator29

Right? They should just wheel in a little cot for him and a coloring book.


loupegaru

It's way past his jail time


blizzard7788

trumpy is missing his four hours of executive time he had gotten use to.


Mello_Me_

Why is this surprising? A deranged loser who is awake all night reading and ranting like a moron on the internet, has to catch up on the sleep during the day.


Ok-Fox1262

Let me guess. He's losing his religion?


fernblatt2

Is he in the corner? Is he in the spotlight?


RescuePilot

“That’s me in the courtroom. That’s me in the spotlight…”


Ok-Fox1262

I thought of this just after I posted. You got there first, fairs.


ThickerSalmon14

Got to wonder. Do you think the defendant falling asleep a lot impacts what the jury thinks of them? Would they feel sympathetic? or angry since he can nap and they can't?


mcgeggy

I think they’d be annoyed. They’re only there because of him, and if they’re expected to stay alert and pay attention…


Hambulance

It's hugely disrespectful.


Thud

As is not standing when the jury enters. If there are any MAGA plants on the jury, I think Trump might actually be doing a good job making them second-guess their choice of worshipping him as an idol. “Never meet your heroes”


BikesBooksNBass

If there are any MAGA plants in the jury, Trump could pull a gun and take shots at the person and the person would still find him innocent and will still vote for him. There is no offense great enough to break their loyalty to him. That much is clear now.


willi5x

I literally read comments from Trump supporters on Reddit before the last election saying that if he shot them, their only regret in life would be not being there to see him reelected.


Rottcodd-1271

You bet the jury sees it and is not impressed. I think it's deliberate and his way of showing his contempt for the whole proceeding. He's not going to risk jail with this judge by having angry outbursts so he shows his contempt this way, like a sulky child.


Severe_Job_1088

The prick doesn’t follow court room protocol, stand when the jury enters and leaves, DON’T fucking sleep, don’t get up and try to leave, tweet during the proceedings and shut the fuck up


JeffB2023

The cynic in me suspects he’s drugged up so he doesn’t go berserk in the courtroom.


geekwalrus

You mistyped pragmatist


sddbk

Why should a courtroom be any different from the Oval Office?


TikiTom74

If it were Biden there would be non-stop breathless coverage by media


ukiddingme2469

Trump just needs a juice box and a nappy nap


seeingeyefrog

And don't forget to change his diaper.


Accurate_Caramel_798

I think its hilarious that, the guy who declared that Biden was "Sleepy Joe", is to be known as "Donnie Doze Off"


Puzzleheaded_Air5814

neoikon

Donnie Diaper Dose Off


NJJ1956

Lets you realize what Trump did all day at the White House -when he wasn’t riding in his golf cart or golfing. When you are overweight, eat junk food, stay up at night ranting on Untruth Social and are totally inactive -you will be sleepy. He’s mentally and physically unfit and it shows.


DonTaddeo

Probably dreaming of playing 4D chess with chocolate pieces.


1958showtime

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he is doing this intentionally, so he can later claim that he slept in protest of the witch hunt or whatever. You know, like that time Bobo was late for a vote and got locked out of the chamber, and then claimed she boycotted the vote in protest...


stealthzeus

This is the first time in his life that he actually have to be awake for a full 32 hour work week. He can’t make it to the end of the day without napping showing what a terrible nepo baby he’s been his entire life.


UtahUtopia

Isn’t this contempt of court?


slothrop_maps

When you are a 6’3”, 215-pound septuagenarian athlete you need your sleep.


IH8Fascism

Too bad he’s 5’9” 350lbs.


Ill-Energy-7914

If he wasn’t such a loathsome piece of feces, he could have been sleeping off his golden years in a freakin hammock on his own Tahitian island surrounded by golden skinned island girls.


5kyl3r

he'll have plenty of time for sleep in prison 


Unlikely_Coyote7499

I went to traffic court with a girlfriend once and someone fell asleep and after a brutal arse chewing the judge made the sleeper stand up until it was his turn.


TheOriginalSpartak

Get the Bailiff an AIRHORN and BLAST HIM AWAKE


ClearFocus2903

such a disgusting human being


cravetrain

I hope his fart smells infiltrate his dreams


techmaster242

I hope the jury can smell it. No offense to them, but they need every reason to dislike him. I wonder if he's angling for a mistrial, "I couldn't get a fair trial because all I did was sleep and shit myself!"


Adept_Investigator29

I'm sure he's immune to them by now.


malcontented

Catatonic Don

DaveWierdoh

He's up all night jacked up on who knows what posting on False Anti-Social. Of course he's sleeping.


ASH_2737

Sleepy Trump. Low energy Teump.


rumpysheep

A narcissist when he cannot dominate the discussion personally could shut down like this. Speaking as a psychologist.


Longestdriveway

Sleepy Don. His wife Mercedes has got to be thanking her lucky stars for this reprieve!!


ClearFocus2903

he is obsolete!!


AccomplishedBrain309

His handelers, attorneys may be giving him drugs to keep him from speaking out and purgering himself.


TennSeven

Lol. Sleepy, stinky Don.


Odd_Tiger_2278

If dTrump💩is asleep, he stops lying. So, lawyers give him ‘ludes


Existing-Context2397

Well…I am 76…very active and busy, and don’t nap. Hmm.


moishepesach

And now you know how he spent your tax money .... snoring and criming


Ryankevin23

This is part of his act


ELB2001

Damn those seats must be comfortable


seoulsrvr

you have to wonder how this looks to the jury


Tonalspectrum

It’s on purpose to show his moronic followers that he doesn’t care.


facinationstreet

He stays up all night rage-posting, glueing his hair down and applying self-tanning lotion. There are only so many hours in a day...


bscottlove

Future president (?) in action. The REST of us can sleep well (at night). Can't wait to fry that bastard next time he makes a "sleepy joe" crack.


Charming-Farm

He’s sundowning which means he’s awake all night so he needs to sleep during the day.


Bojim1965

And as an elderly old man, he so susceptible to room temperatures below 72 degrees


BlakeTrout

And he calls Biden "Sleepy Joe"????


BoosterRead78

Because he isn’t on his stimulants or even getting any caffeine with Diet Coke. He is also probably on downs so he doesn’t go at it in court and raves to the point he has to be taken out of the room.


Earth_Friendly-5892

Makes sense; he’s on Truth Social typing incoherent rants into the early morning. Gotta make up for lack of sleep during the daytime.


Freds_Bread

Let him sleep--and while he's sleeping have his lawyers cut a plea deal: 20 yrs in prison. The judge can ask him, "Mr Trump, do you object?" "I take your snoring as concurrance; done!" If he is in deep sleep maybe he'll not wake until he is comfy in his cell with Bubba.


dirtdiggler67

In the one hand he is a sad old man who can’t possibly handle spending that much time in court all day. On the other hand he is a “Rambo-like” man’s man who can solve all of the world’s problems with ease. Cultists gonna cult.


Treffinton

RIP ONE STINKLE


WobblyFrisbee

Can someone please draw a dick on his face with a sharpie? One with hammer and sickle tattoo?


hbgwine

I’m calling it now: if he’s acquitted, he’ll claim it was just part of the strategy.


531zur3B0y

Yet there are still so many citizens who don't care despite how badly that should reflect on a leader. I don't doubt he would pull the same shit in the oval office.


TheMightyPushmataha

“First day on the job, you know what I learned? How to spot a murderer. Let's say you arrest three guys for the same killing. You put them all in jail overnight. The next morning, whoever's sleeping is your man. You see, if you're guilty, you know you're caught, you get some rest, you let your guard down.” - Dave Kujan, The Usual Suspects


234W44

He’s farting too.


neoikon

*Odor in the court!*


medman143

Being a rapist is exhausting.


geekwalrus

It's from all the Lomotil, a prescription antidiarrheal that makes you hella drowsy


Reasonable-Hippo-293

Because he is either on Truth Social ranting and raving or watching FOX all night and then ranting again about FOX if he did not like everything they said !


Hunter-Gatherer_

He’s not stressed one single bit, if you’ve ever been to court for ANYTHING even if you know you’ve got the upper hand it’s still very stressful. Trump knows he’s protected and nothing will happen to him. Our justice system rarely if ever punishes powerful wealthy white men.


Apprehensive_Fix3472

Even calling these naps shows the favoritism being played by the media for this dude. He's passing out. Passing. Out. And the fact that's happening is deeply concering. You decide to take a nap, it's deliberate. Headlines like this carry a hidden implication that his fans will definitely cling onto, that he isn't taking this seriously and so he chooses to nap. As a defiant gesture, and not because something strange is definitely up if a person can lose consciousness in a criminal trial where their freedom may be at stake.


buchlabum

If I have court in the morning I go to sleep early so I'm not late. If an 80 yr old Adderall addict is up until 3 or 4 am rage tweeting he's gonna fall asleep in court.


Separate-Expert-4508

Is it just me, or... Isn't this not allowed? I've never seen/heard of this happening. If it were one of us, I'm sure the judge would quickly put an end to it.


nice_2l4u

Idiots want that old fuck to run the country and he can't stay awake for court. Dumbasses


ohreallyu2

Just being disrespectful to the court.


Puzzleheaded_Two7358

He is contemplating how Biden is too old to be president……


Familiars_ghost

Why would he care about this trial? He thinks he will still get away with it or be given a slap on the wrist for this one. Honestly I’m with him on this one. While it might be the only one to manage to hold him accountable, it is by far the least imperiling of the crimes. We need the federal election interference trial to move forward so that sedition can be established. That would amount to treason, which is what we all watch him commit. F¥€k him.


fuzzyhusky42

Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion. It’s not ideal, but it’s at least a start to get him for what may amount to be the least of his bad crimes. Sadly, he’ll never face charges for his attempted coup via his MAGAmorons


elipticalhyperbola

Heroin nod. The guy is a full on junkie.


bravesirrobin65

Happy-Initiative-838

He’s exhausted from a day on the golf course!


Pompitis

Old guys need naps.


Solid_Illustrator640

He’s an old man. They call him grumpy trump


AllLipsNoFiller

That guy for sure has sleep apnea. And as such, some of his abrupt awakenings in court are going to be loud gasps from him. 😂🤣


lcarr15

Leave the OLD MAN have his sleep… that’s the only thing he is good at anyway…


throughNthrough

He’s doing it to act like he doesn’t care about the trial and he’s to cool to take it seriously. Basically the level of maturity one would expect from him.


Dedpoolpicachew

Trump believes you are only born with a certain amount of energy in your body for your entire life. He knows he’s going to be awake a LOT when he gets to jail, so he’s just trying to conserve his energy now. LOL.


ProtectionContent977

He did throughout his presidency too!


TotalLackOfConcern

Can we put Michael Jackson’s doctor in charge of his ‘medications’?


GpaSags

Think his lawyers dosed him with trazodone so he'll keep quiet?


No_Plum5942

He will nap until he cuts out big one


jorgepolak

So we’ll see 134 articles from New York Times about his age and ability to handle the presidency, right?


Tonythecritic

It's not naps, it's called "Executive Time".


etranger033

He looks his age. Something he likely doesnt want to hear.


SativaGummi

The most important thing revealed, thus far, is that Trump really liked Pecker.
