'Sleepy Don': People Sure Think Trump Was Starting To Doze Off On Camera

Even I had jet lag when coming back from England(2015) and Australia(2018). But I was younger then than I am now. It took me close to a month to get back on track from a 17 1/2 hour time difference from Sydney to Minneapolis, as well as crossing the International Date Line. TACO Don is 6 weeks into his 80th year and not in the best of health. Though he was doing this way before he ran again.

The president had a case of heavy eyelids during a White House event.

…about his inflated accomplishments or ranting about the myriad of perceived injustices he has “suffered.” Any other time, his indifference is all too obvious.

Months before my husband died, he would fall asleep within 30 minutes from waking up in the mornings, hardly touching his coffee. I was not aware of just how serious his congested heart failure was. Even at Doctor appointments, he would doze off. He slept about 3/4 of the day due to having no energy.

We are witnessing the decrease in stamina of TACO Don on a daily basis. He and his WH Doctors are LYING to the American people. I beg to guess that his upcoming trip to England to meet with King Charles will be called off in September with the excuse of "SCHEDULING CONFLICTS" rather than actual health and age issues.

So, Trump gets no reprieve for his age.

and give him some Ritalin. My god, it might make him jibber jabber a bit (I think that that may be why they don't). It might even clear his mind up....nevermind. I think I would rather see him sleepy.

I have narcolepsy and have taken Ritalin for somewhere around 40 years. I look half dead if I don't take it on time. It is like feeling dead AND looking like dead go together. Do it right and all is well and you do not smash your car into anyone else.

Problem then is he might think and I doubt any of us think he would direct those thoughts to helping.

Trump has no interest in what Oz is talking about. The man literally doesn't care about anything except blowing his own horn.

He's bored and there aren't any shiny objects to look at. Sad

If the ATTENTION is not on him, he makes damn well sure it is.

Nor do I mean any offense of those here who are actually suffer from this.
