"He's railing about this, and he's mad at people, but he's also in denial. 'I didn't fall asleep.'

Why Sleepy Trump, 79, Is Really Panicking Aides: Wolff

I mean, you can’t wake him up. Also, the cameras are running. Everybody is in a low-level panic now all of the time about Trump falling asleep because then he gets mad,” Wolff said. “He gets angry. He essentially blames the people around him for the fact that he fell asleep.”

Co-host Joanna Coles said, “Well that’s ridiculous. I mean, poor Marco Rubio was trying to talk louder, I think, to keep him awake.”

“He’s railing about this, and he’s mad at people, but he’s also in denial. ‘I didn’t fall asleep.’ I mean, that’s what he’s saying now.’”

Wolff said Trump’s habit of sleeping on the job is unusual, noting that in the decade he has followed the president, he never saw him fall asleep during events. He recalled that when Trump got “bored” during his first term, he would simply “walk out” of the room.

1. "I wasn't sleeping!!" Yeah, I used that a lot when I was 5, 6 years old.

🤨

2. "I'm resting my eyes." That was my father's favorite. nt

7. Checking my eyelids for light leaks

10. "I'm trying to listen"

is a great dodge if you don't snore.

18. My mom said that all the time...

[mackdaddy]

3. Maybe his Adderall doesn't go well with his Alzheimer's infusions?

That would explain his Sleepy Schmo moments....

4. Trump will lie to anyone

Mostly himself.

[bdamomma]

5. The cameras don't lie

This is a nothing new he was falling asleep in court during the E Jean Carroll investigations. Which got him 34 counts. What an ass he is.

6. Pictures do not lie.

These are photos from very recent Cabinet meetings. Staying up all night and not getting adequate hours of sleep, will result in erratic behavior and sleeping caught on camera.

8. "...author Michael Wolff ..."

Why is the Daily Beast still giving a platform to Epstein confidant Michael Wolff?

[GusBob]

13. I believe the old-timey word is 'muckraker'

Click baiting these days

But yeah, I dont trust the guy even if he says what I like to hear

[dalton99a]

9. Let sleeping dogs lie

[Conjuay]

11. do the briefings as a puppet show or something.

Dress the characters in bright primary colors and give them squeaky, silly voices.
He might stay awake for that/

[Traildogbob]

12. Most all of us

When awaken from the lounger with TV blaring have the same angry response. Especially when some one changed the channel, even though we been asleep for over an hour.
All the evidence of that yam sleeping is Democrat AI.
Fake video.
I can’t wait until he dies in a meeting and everyone is talking loud like Rubio, massaging his mushroom, to wake him up in front of the cameras, without being obvious. And he will not open his eyes. And then find no pulse. Glory be the day!!! One of the ass kissers next to him needs a mirror, to check breathing. And when him dies on TV all those hamburgers will come ruching out when his bowers release.

14. Hoping he don't wake up.

[Fil1957]

15. He was just resting his eyes! Leave the poor man alone.

[Ray Bruns]

16. He needs the Homer Simpson solution.

17. I don't feel the least bit sorry for "poor" Marco Rubio or anyone else in his orbit.

Pox on their houses.

[surfered]

19. Anger brought on by denial. Classic dementia characteristic

[Ol Janx Spirit]

20. While I put absolutely no stock in what Wolff has to say, you know the people tasked with curating his image...

...have to be absolutely freaking out about the images of Dozing Don Old.

And the fact that they seem unable to deter him from doing events that will inevitably result in these scenes tells us how fearful they must be to tell the old sack of crap anything he doesn't want to hear.

At this point you can't let him sit down for more than a few minutes it seems like; and maybe having him stand is just as dangerous--who knows?

But I can't contain my schadenfreude-smile thinking about how the awful people behind the scenes propping him up (possibly literally) have to just be nauseous every time this happens--and it is happening with greater frequency.

One day Karolying Leavitt is going to have to explain how she could have possibly not been lying to the American people about his health.... Fun times they will be.

21. 'I didn't fall asleep.'

[boston bean]

22. It's the waking up that's the issue.

[Totally Tunsie]

23. Years ago, I worked in a company where one of the managers often fell asleep in meetings.

At the end of a particular meeting, all the participants got up and left Mr. Heavylids asleep in his chair. It was a good half hour before he emerged from the room quite red-faced. His capable and wide-awake assistant replaced him several months later.

Gawd...if only Dozing Donnie's Cabinet had the balls to do the same!
