Holy sh*t. Trump fell asleep again. He would hate it if this picture went viral.

I wonder if Trumps flatulence will kick in???

The story goes that when Trump was in the Oval Office, he did not appear until about 11am

1. maybe his attorneys are drugging him?

[Wonder Why]

2. Yeah. All that comes out of his mouth now is drool. Of course, from the other end, the opiods don't help. Beano might.

[ShazzieB]

21. Opioids are constipating.

Which does not seem to be what his problem is!

What is opioid-induced constipation?
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323430#summary

[Irish_Dem]

52. Stimulant drugs can cause fecal incontinence.

Trump is a long time cocaine and adderall abuser.

[ShazzieB]

59. I gathered that from some of the earlier comments.

I was posting in response to a suggestion that opiods might be contributing to his fecal incontinence issues, to point out that opioids tend to have the opposite effect.

At least that's how I read the comment. It's possible I misunderstood, or did not express what I meant clearly. It happens!

[Irish_Dem]

60. Yes you are correct, opioids tend to be constipating.

I see, you were clarifying another comment.

[soldierant]

61. That's true.

But I hear there's a shot they can give the OIC patient that releases everything everywher all at once like the Johnstown flood. (And you are more than welcome to feel sorry for the person i knew to whom this happened. Hr had terminal cncer and had just moved ino a nursing home and was mortified. (I wish I had a nickel for every time they told him "No apology needed. Thai is our job." He's been gone almost three years now.

[whopis01]

15. Or not letting him take his usual drugs. n/t

[PatSeg]

46. Possibly both

I'm quite sure he's taking some kind of sedative to help him get through trial.

[yardwork]

18. I'm wondering if he's taking sedatives.

Based on his previous behavior in court, he can't help himself from reacting to what people say. Maybe he's taking drugs to keep him sedated.

[ShazzieB]

22. A lot of people have been speculating on that.

It wouldn't surprise me at all.

[wnylib]

32. Seems like a very real possibility.

[TwilightZone]

3. Not really.

CNN reported that he briefly had his eyes closed while the judge was giving out jury instructions.

I do find it hilarious that the tweeter said that Trump closing his eyes is proof of cognitive decline. If that's the case, and even if he *was* napping, we're all screwed!

It does forward the narrative, of course, which I guess is the point of the exercise.

[Quixote1818]

42. Sounds pretty convincing to me from these reports

4. The blue tie is nice.

It evokes liberty, equality, freedom -- democracy.

Sick Fuck's normal red, to me at least, evokes raw warmongering pig greed treason.

[DemocraticPatriot]

6. Damn, I didn't think he owned anything but red ties...

[emulatorloo]

7. Plus that shade of blue really looks nice with orange.

[birdographer]

43. Someone should point out to him

the need to paint his hands the same color as his face. Or wear gloves.

[Earthrise]

8. His hair looks pretty good, too - last week was one long string of bad hair days,

which, for DJT, is really, really bad.

[PatSeg]

55. Looks like he got a haircut

Maybe in an attempt to look more sympathetic and not so clownish?

[yardwork]

19. I think that tie looks cheap.

He has terrible taste in clothes. He can afford to dress better. It's kind of weird.

[PatSeg]

56. I know

The clothes and the hair too. He can afford to have an upscale makeover and a celebrity hair stylist. A personal trainer wouldn't hurt either, but we know he is averse to any kind of exercise.

For someone who is so image conscious, he looks absolutely ridiculous. He is so critical of everyone else, but is blind to his own appearance.

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

64. That's Another Aspect of Narcissm

and of course, a Dunning - Kruger U. graduate where once they make a decision on anything, they cannot admit it was wrong.

Which as you know, is dangerous. I know people who are defending stupid stuff they said from 30 years ago, because it popped into their minds, they said it and will never admit it was erroneous, despite 30 years of evidence to the contrary. They are that weak, yet they consider it a strength. Beware those who care about "tradition".

I watched a Daily Show clip of a MAGA who declared his principals and so he did admit Fox "So Called News" lied about the Deadbeat winning the 2020 election, and the "principled man" sheepishly replied, "Yeah but I'm still going to believe them over Democrats".

I paraphrase as it's all from memory, but I am close to what was said by both. I guarantee you that MAGA believes he is principled.

The only way to help Dunning - Kruger University graduates is to defeat them and remove their power. They're going to rage and in a few instances become violent but we must do it for the greater good and to leave a better country for future generations.

I argue considering their feelings (at this point, not always of course but as they seek to harm us and dismantle the U.S. system) is bad political and wartime tactics. They are adults with access to the same information as we do. Why avoid the one tactic that will work? Money? Politics? Compassion? - They wanted this war so we must give it to them and use every tool at our disposal.

Ridicule, shunning and defeat. That is how you end MAGA. It's like bullies, most if not all have learned that the only way to stop a bully is to challenge them because they are cowards.

MAGA are bullies ,thus cowards which is why the need a Sky Daddy, Guns, Military, Dear Leader and more. That's their problem not ours.

[PatSeg]

66. Very well said

And Trump really fits that description. He knows people make fun of his outrageous appearance and that makes him more determined to not change it. Also, he is probably the most photographed man on the planet, so he can see how he looks, but he refuses to accept what his own eyes can see.

Yes, MAGATs are bullies which also makes them cowards. As with unruly, undisciplined children, they must be confronted and defeated on a regular basis. They may not change, but at least they can be stripped of their power.

You know, there have been times when it was difficult to admit I was wrong, but that is usually when I just shut the hell up. Accepting that I was wrong is a sign that at least I'm capable of growing.

5. Sleepy Don

[zeusdogmom]

9. Perhaps he is meditating 😄

I doubt it.

[Ping Tung]

16. Meditating on selecting his next trophy wife....

[NonPC]

57. Or Dreaming of Bubba in the Big House

Not sure if Bubba will want to do him with a diaper....

[northoftheborder]

10. Could bee a sign of heart condition

[Marthe48]

11. I don't think he's asleep

His stupid mouth isn't slack. He can't stick his fingers in his ears or start yelling nah-nah-nah, or mooning the court, so he is closing his eyes. Probably other things, too, to show his contempt of his surroundings.

[yonder]

37. Agree. Performative schoolboy nonsense.

"I'll show them".

[DoBW]

12. Is this real, or fake snooze ?

maybe he's acting ... portraying an image like "it's all so beneath me"

[wnylib]

34. Channeling mob bosses who have done that during their trials.

[jaxexpat]

38. You trying to give mob bosses a bad name?

A Nuremburgesque venue is more appropriate for this clown.

14. He's especially orange today. He must have gotten upset that a prospective juror called him yellow.

[Evolve Dammit]

58. What is his actual color? Oh, pasty white.

[thesquanderer]

17. Many replies here seem to assume the pic is of him sitting during the trial today.

The photo is presumably from some other time since, AFAIK, no photos of the actual trial are permitted (which is why we see the drawings from courtroom artists).

[orangecrush]

20. This

[TwilightZone]

27. Hey, don't mess with the narrative!

I'm kidding, of course. Thanks for pointing that out. It's pretty obvious in hindsight.

CNN reported that he briefly closed his eyes while the judge was giving out jury instructions, so I'm sure that was the inspiration for the tweets.

[W_HAMILTON]

51. Many more news outlets confirmed these reports.

But don't let reputable reporting mess with YOUR narrative.

47. iI didn't get it

if it was happening all over again.. ..new stuff ,old stuff whatever

[BumRushDaShow]

48. NY allows a couple "pool stills" in the courtroom *ahead of* the actual court proceeding - the Judge has final say

https://ww2.nycourts.gov/rules/chiefadmin/131.shtml

Section 131.6 Use and deployment of equipment and personnel by the news media.

(a) Limitations upon use of equipment and personnel in the courtroom.

(1) No more than two electronic or motion picture cameras and two camera operators shall be permitted in any proceeding.

(2) No more than two photographers to operate one still camera each shall be permitted in any proceeding.

(3) No more than one audio system for broadcast purposes shall be permitted in any proceeding. Audio pickup for all news media purposes shall be effectuated through existing audio systems in the court facility. If no technically suitable audio system is available, microphones and related wiring essential for media purposes shall be supplied by those persons providing coverage. Any microphones and sound wiring shall be unobtrusive and placed where designated by the presiding trial judge.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1)-(3) of this subdivision, the presiding trial judge on a finding of special circumstances may modify any restriction on the amount of equipment or number of operating personnel in the courtroom, compatible with the dignity of the court or the judicial process.

They did the same thing during the arraignment. Video allowed outside the courtroom, a couple stills by pool photogs inside, and that was that.

This is why they all have the same set of stills for today -

The tweet/X photos look like they are from a different day (looking at the tie color) and possibly photo-shopped though.

23. "Executive Time"

So, THAT's what 'executive time' means! Sleeping and farting!

26. F. A. R. T. S. 🤣

28. Don Yawn, the lethargic lothario

29. Projection, thy name is traitor trump!

Sleepy Joe my ass!

[MiHale]

30. Has he given up on the red tie?

Does he save it for campaigning only? Maybe he thinks blue makes him look less MAGA?

[bluestarone]

31. He and his cult should stop complaining about Joes health.

[Diamond_Dog]

35. Wait ... I thought the MAGA cult says he is a "fighter".

More like “fighting” to stay awake.

[intheflow]

36. Curious how this photo came to be, as there's no photography allowed in the courtroom.

That detail makes me think this might be photoshopped, though even if so, I'm sure it's still a truthful representation of what's happening.

[sl8]

49. The judge allowed some still photographers to take photos in the courtroom ...

The judge allowed some still photographers to take photos in the courtroom, until the proceedings begin.

If you do an image search for Trump trial, you'll see tons of photos of him in the courtroom, from mainstream sources.

[MontanaMama]

39. Imagine if Joe Biden closed his eyes...

The media would have a complete come apart.

[ancianita]

40. imo, He can sleep and be in cognitive decline all he wants, as long as he isn't ruled incompetent to stand trial.

He knows that what happens to him is solely up to the jury.

What he doesn't know is how this jury thinks about his naps in court.

[twodogsbarking]

41. He is pooping.

[Submariner]

44. His pompadour looks like a condor wing this week

Making him get up earlier than his usual 11:00 am must be interfering with his hair styling and makeup routine.

[Upthevibe]

45. Kick. N/T

[Zorro]

50. Maybe he was meditating

on the sweet voice of Andrea Mitchell.
