1. Right wing news and commentators

All claim he's praying. Since he was obviously chosen by God he has a direct line now.

[Blue Full Moon]

12. That's what we were told to say

At work we would work shifts. If by chance we fall asleep and someone see you. Just say amen.

[Martin68]

49. Donald Trump does not pray. He's a pathological narcissist. He acknowledgesno greater power than himself.

If we wanted to be generous, we could speculate that he took some pain killers for his earbie wound and they made him sleepy. But I think I might have trouble staying awake during the endless absurd speeches at the convention.

[Tickle]

2. I watched it last night

I didn't see him fall asleep. He looked warn out but I attributed it to Saturday's events

[riversedge]

3. "He (Trump)must be doped up on pain meds. He's swaying as he walks.".........

Others have noted how Trump sways--favors his Right leg as he walks.

5. Bad knees from being overweight

is the most likely explanation.

[Girard442]

6. Not pain meds. Anti-anxiety meds.

[GB_RN]

14. That Was Noted Several Years Ago...

When he had that midnight emergency that took him to Walter Reed. After that event, people noticed that he was swinging one leg around the other rather than moving it straight forward like in a normal gait. The change in gait would seem to indicate he had a small stroke. The fact that he still favors one leg and has altered gait is further evidence of the stroke hypothesis.

45. Cerebellar ataxia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_ataxia

Cerebellar ataxia is a form of ataxia originating in the cerebellum.[1] Non-progressive congenital ataxia (NPCA) is a classical presentation of cerebral ataxias.

Cerebellar ataxia can occur as a result of many diseases and may present with symptoms of an inability to coordinate balance, gait, extremity and eye movements.[2] Lesions to the cerebellum can cause dyssynergia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, dysarthria and ataxia of stance and gait.[3] Deficits are observed with movements on the same side of the body as the lesion (ipsilateral).[2] Clinicians often use visual observation of people performing motor tasks in order to look for signs of ataxia.[2]

4. Pain meds?

Maybe some new psych meds? After all, the likelihood of PTSD/paranoia after this past weekend ....

[GB_RN]

15. If He Needs Pain Meds For What Amounts To A Scratch...

Then he’s a wuss. Ibuprofen should be sufficient for that.

[llmart]

50. You are so right.

I had major surgery on my face with the incision starting at the top of my ear down to my neck and back up behind my ear. I took extra strength Tylenol for two days and that was it. I'm a 74 year old woman. What a chickenshit wuss he is.

[Emile]

7. Still pumping his little fist, lol.

[Mr. Sparkle]

8. He looks terrible and very old

[ProudMNDemocrat]

33. My thoughts exactly when I saw the clip.

As well as grumpy, winded, out of shape, etc.

Any medication(s) can do that. By Thursday night if a miracle happens, he should have his mojo back and be at his DICKtatorial self screaming like you-know-who about returning this country to the days when women had NO rights, the LGBTQ+ communities were in the closet, Minorities were marginalized, Native Americans were still living in segregated reservations, Immigrants were from Europe, and where the White man was the King. Ah! The not-so-good-old days!

Project 2025 will be talked up as the BEST thing since sliced bread.

Let's hope I am wrong! I doubt I will be.

[livetohike]

9. Doped Up Don. When he's not the center of attention

he sleeps. Waiting for the media to catch on to this.

[hadEnuf]

21. But it's an official act!

[livetohike]

26. Executive time . n/t

😂

[Rebl2]

10. Maybe he

Is doped up on pain killers doc gave him for his ear. Can’t be any worse than the migraine I had the week of the Fourth of July. I had no pain killers and was able to tough it out.

[riversedge]

11. A split screen from msnbc--but I do

not know if it is real. Anyone watch msnbc last night??

@AZgraceJMC
The guy that is not being asked to step aside in the race of two is sleeping through his party’s convention, with a kotex on his ear.

Lord save us.

[twodogsbarking]

30. He doesn't need ears he never listens.

[Farmer-Rick]

36. His ears are

Merely decorative at best.

I wish they would film him from the other side. I would like to see the kotex on his ear.

[FailureToCommunicate]

13. To be fair, he's been through a lot...

Activity working to destroy our democracy must be VERY taxing.

[rurallib]

17. And golf - don't forget the golf

stepping in and out of the cart is a lot

[2naSalit]

34. It takes a lot of effort...

Hoisting his ample mass in and out of the cart.

[riversedge]

38. Sometimes I wonder what is happening to me when I do not even feel

a tiny bit of empathy for him.

[KS Toronado]

43. Could reQublican thoughts & prayers help?

[Metaphorical]

51. It's called skepticism

Hard to feel sympathy for a sociopathic criminal

[Takket]

16. Low energy. This is the guy that calls Biden "sleepy"??

[GoCubsGo]

18. Sleepy Donald

He needs to step down and let somebody else run.

[area51]

19. #LowEnergyDonnie n/t

[Johnny2X2X]

22. Would be headline news if this was Biden

Can't stay awake.

[DownriverDem]

23. What's he doing there?

Usually the candidate is shown watching from his hotel room until his speech on Thursday.

[JI7]

24. Didn't like Vance getting all the attention

[oldsoftie]

25. Funny how he didnt need the massive bandage when he went golfing. nt

[womanofthehills]

54. To be fair - that was an older video

[oldsoftie]

55. I thought there was video of him golfing Sunday?

That was file footage?

[tanyev]

27. Donny's more of an "I do the talking, everyone else listens" kind of guy.

Other people talking? Blah blah boring.

[Historic NY]

28. Wait pain meds...

Antibiotics aren't for pain. The ear is a piece of cartilage that millions of people get pierced and reformed every day, and I am certain don't get pain meds.

[Farmer-Rick]

37. So, true

My niece got the top tip of her ear pierced. She says she hardly felt it.

He was damn lucky. You know that old saying, "God protects fools and drunks." And Pedo Trump is very foolish.

[notemason]

56. Well if your doctor is

Ronnie "Johnson" you can.

[twodogsbarking]

29. Orange horse tranquilizer.

[LeftInTX]

31. He needs to quit

[question everything]

32. But.. but.. four years ago it was "sleepy Joe."

[AZLD4Candidate]

35. First video. . .nice waddle, scumbag.

[AloeVera]

39. For the first time ever...

In that first clip, he looks scared, sad, defeated and like he wants to cry. He does not want to be there. This is the first time I've seen a trace of vulnerability, humanity. Almost feel sorry for him, then I catch myself.

[Blue Owl]

40. Just drop out and retire, Donny -- you can play golf all day every day

[bif]

42. Too much golf yesterday. n/t

[wolfie001]

44. Dr. Ron needs to up his dose of "pep pills".

[JCMach1]

47. Pain killers and Ozempic kicked in on low energy Don

[wolfie001]

48. You know he's still gobbling down those Big Macs

[Owens]

46. He should step aside this race

It's clear he cannot stay awake and do the job of the presidency! Will we be hearing republicans telling him to step down?

[et tu]

52. looks a little more chunky

than usual- could he be wearing kevlar? or is it
to many hamberders???

[ancianita]

53. I watched that part live. This Xtweet is FALSE. They were actually praying & he was praying. When they finished,

he, Vance and everyone else stood up and clapped. That's a fact. He was not asleep.

We must not put ourselves in the position of proving the "both sides" claim is true.

We have to tell the truth.
