Trump is exhausted from trying to keep all of the lies straight (Original Post) yellowcanine Oct 2024 OP
I was thinking the same thing. Just last week, Mike Johnson was saying he doesn't need as much sleep as everybody else. Walleye Oct 2024 #1
How does Johnson know how much sleep he gets? LiberalFighter Oct 2024 #15

From his physical condition I wouldn't be surprised if he has sleep apnea as well. That could explain all the waking up yellowcanine Oct 2024 #11
It would also explain falling asleep during the trial. SupportSanity Oct 2024 #14

Now we see why he wouldn’t release his medical records. I’m starting to wonder who is posting his tweets

Especially with the court rulings and an army of lawyers to counsel with. I’m delighted he’s taking a break

If ever there was a person whose lips are moving that fits the bill that he's lying, it's Don the Con. Con man liar and a cheat 24 seven.

to maintain the illusions in his own head and projecting his false face to the world. When things go south for him and he can't maintain the charade anymore, he will break down.

And note that even when the truth slips out, he still tells another lie. Some of the "we" did have guns.

Now where do they get it from? Tfg of course. He lies about everything why wouldn’t this be the same? I’m sure he just can’t sleep over a few hours at night. He probably gets up to go to the bathroom. Rage tweets, lays back down for awhile, gets breakfast, and lays back down. From what was reported while he was in the WH he didn’t show up until almost noon.

His normal week was come back to the WH sometime late Sunday or early Monday. Leave there early Friday. He couldn’t handle a full week even then.

at night to tweet. Also could mean his brain is not getting enough oxygen, which could be one explanation for the bizarre behavior and apparent befuddlement.

I do have sleep apnea. Before I started treatment for it I would fall asleep all the time during the day. Undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea is dangerous, particularly for a 78 yr old man. If elected, he could croak in the middle of the night and then JD Vance would be President.

just plain OLD exhausted... PERIOD. After all the shit the MSM stirred about Biden's age, they persist in ignoring Trump's:

his obvious gaffs, slurring of words, lapses in memory, apparent growing dementia, psychopathy, and erratic behavior.

They're always trying to normalize him and prop him up. Next thing you know, they'll be wheeling him in on afkn gurney.
