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.
