🚨BREAKING: Pam Bondi just turned to find Donald Trump FAST ASLEEP during her remarks:

PAM BONDI: “We met with this president multiple times…

TRUMP: ZZZZZzzzzz.

Trump is completely unfit to be president.








More evidence mounts of Trump's steep cognitive decline, as he once again falls asleep in front of an early afternoon audience.
Compared to President Biden, the coverage of Trump's decline is almost nonexistent.

If there was another platform you could use so the rest of us could see all this late breaking news. Xitter has to die and using it keeps it alive.

Every time I see a xitter post with nothing else to give a clue or anything about its content,I get the feeling that the info is for some elite group that are extra special or just not interested in actually sharing the info posted.

NOBODY should be using that shithole. The sooner everyone bails, it will die. And I can't think of a better way to give leonskum a finger in the eye and make him squirm than to evacuate the platform.

Mon Mar 23, 2026, 05:12 PM

Given the headline, I expected an unambiguous video of Trump sound asleep. What was at the link was a Trump with eyes alternating between open and closed, with no more than seconds closed.

I'm not doubting he regularly sleeps through important things. But a headline that declares he was "FAST ASLEEP" should at least link to a video with him doing more than just repeatedly blinking.

I do know that as I’ve gotten older I can doze for short moments like that. It happened while reading just last night. It was definitely more than blinking. It’s really odd to criticize hyperbolic language and than rely on it yourself to make your point. I’m no fan of sensationalist headlines, but it’s kind of odd to have a President who can’t seem to keep his eyes open at as press conference. I’m thankful for the post but agree the title is misleading.

at a time when I'm at the PC or even in front of the TV. And I *was* asleep, because I couldn't remember at all anything that happened during that interim. Elderly nod off frequently for short AND long periods of time. As I get older, I'm just beginning these short time frames. I figure it doesn't mean anything good for me...

Nothing like laughing for the last 15 minutes wondering why your friend isn’t amused only to be startled by a well-timed snore. I was adopted by my grandparents, so I would encounter it often as I grew into adulthood. With great grandparents then my adopted parents and their siblings. My (grand)father worked into his 90s and as he got older he’d nod for seconds while talking to me during the day and always insist he was just resting his eyes. Maybe what I was saying just wasn’t worth keeping those eyes open. My mom would just go to sleep during an informal visit if she felt the need. As I get older, I find I do this when I try to get by on too little sleep. Last night while reading I had to restart paragraphs as I was sleeping for what probably only amounted to seconds. A very subtle hint my body was giving to just close the book and get some rest.

28. Since retirement, especially, I have no sleep schedule.
Mon Mar 23, 2026, 08:59 PM

I've always been a night owl. While being LE in the Air Force, we alternated week by week among day, night, and mids shifts. HORRIBLE on trying to sleep. You just get somewhat settled into one schedule, when the next week you're on a completely different one! (LOL) At least my younger body didn't find it too much of a hassle, and a couple of the shifts led to some excellent after-work parties. But I fought to try to "schedule" sleep for decades after that... my system just never wanted to cooperate with the day/work/night/sleep schedule. I could get SO much more done in the middle of the night. My mind and body were both sharp at that time of the day.

Being retired, it's hard enough to keep up with time with nothing on your schedules, for example. I've tried to make it fit into a day/night schedule, but it just doesn't work. And now I've done so many experiments with trying to get on a schedule, that I think my body has basically given up on it. I sleep when I sleep. Be it for 5 minutes of 5 hours. I don't think it does real well for your body, from all my past readings. But they may have been biased, in favor of fitting in to the "normal routine." I've just decided I'll never be normal, and sleep when I can.

I’m just now trying to get back on a more normal sleep schedule. We’ll see how that goes.

The interaction says Bondi looks over and finds him fast asleep. He's opening and closing his eyes in the video - clearly not "fast asleep."

I keep waiting for him to fall REALLY sound asleep, pitch forward, and slide right out of his chair, to land in a heap on the floor. I wonder how the msm will try to normalize THAT?
