(130,516 posts)They remained actually and not just apparently closed for a period of time, as the video plainly indicates. You might reasonably say he appeared to be asleep, but he also appeared to be in a coma or dead, and there was no way to know for sure which without jabbing him with a pointed stick or offering him a 14-year-old girl. But CNN can't risk offending Himself, so they had to fudge an obvious fact. CNN's enshittification continues unabated.

(56,198 posts)It's one thing to hedge on whether or not he was actually asleep. Silly, but one could at least argue we don't know that either 100% certainty (only like 99.5% lol).
But it's ludicrous to hedge on whether or not his eyes were closed while publishing photographs evidence of closed eyes.

(12,663 posts)My Dad use to do it in his recliner chair. He'd have his eyes closed, maybe even be snoring lightly. He'd hear us talking about him sleeping and say "I'm just resting my eyes."
Pedo Trump was just resting his eyes, in the middle of a press conference on obesity. Later after awaking to the sounds of an elderly man falling to the ground. He appeared to be simply standing, with a blank look, waiting to be directed to the next presidential act of staring off into space.
