Poor Mr Trump. Spotted sleeping several times during his current trial in New York City. There he is above, faithfully captured by the court artist. Of course Mr Trump denies that he ever drifted off into dreamland and with typical infantile spite he has derided the work of the court artist who he claims has sought to ridicule him.
Ironically, Mr Trump has frequently referred to President Biden as "Sleepy Joe" but now the boot appears to be on the other foot. Dozy Donald will have to think of another name to call the president - for that is how it works with playground bullies.
I have a smidgen of sympathy for Mr Trump with regard to nodding off. There was a time when I never napped. The only time I slept was in bed - usually for an unbroken seven hours. However, now I frequently and reluctantly nod off when I am sitting comfortably on one of our sofas in the evening. Before I know it, twenty minutes has just disappeared. I guess it's a sign of growing old.
When I sleep I dream of angels and acts of kindness, swimming towards sinking suns with a pod of dolphins or reliving childhood scenes. But what does Mr Trump dream about? He's possibly a Roman emperor in a toga or a mega-rich business leader with a spotless record or Adolf Hitler stirring the masses from a balcony in Berlin: "Das ist ein vitch-hunt!"
Anyway, if you also refute the work of the court artist, here's another image of Mr Trump having forty winks during his trial. This time it's a photograph and as we all know - the camera never lies. Does it? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
I wonder how many court cases Trump is involved with? Sooner or later he will not have enough time in a month to deal with all court actions.
ReplyDeleteIt's all a conspiracy to stop him from campaigning!... Oh Yeah! And there are fairies at the bottom of the garden!
DeleteDon Snoreleone.
ReplyDelete:-D
DeleteHa-ha! Nice one Bob.
DeleteNot only is he sleeping in court he is also farting, or to be polite, passing gas, and everyone near him has to put up with that stench. Gas masks for everyone!!
ReplyDeleteI am sleepier than I used to be too, often taking a small nap in the afternoons so that I don't fall asleep watching tv later. Now of course, the small nap is not enough and I also still doze off during the tv watching.
Of course you are not Australia's political leader so that's okay.
DeleteIt's nearly impossible nowadays to prove whether a photograph is genuine or created (or at least enhanced) with AI. But since it is not so unusual for someone of DD's age to nod off during the day, especially when people talk about things and use words he does not understand and does not feel are important for him.
ReplyDeleteI don't nod off on my settee but I do love a little afternoon nap when I get the chance. Like you, for decades I only slept in bed, but since my first big eye surgery in 2018, when for weeks afterwards I was not allowed to do much, I got into the habit. Of course on a typical working day I don't get to have a nap, but sometimes when working from home, I prolong my lunch break by a 15 minute nap in my yellow armchair.
I guess that for you just resting your eyes is a good thing - after what you have been through.
DeleteI saw the photo and read the title as sleazy, I wonder why!
ReplyDeleteMaybe because of the Stormy Daniels connection?
DeleteCS Lewis, Churchill, Einstein and Tolkein all believed in taking afternoon naps.
ReplyDeleteBut not when they were being tried in a court of law.
DeleteDoes he snore too?
ReplyDeleteOh - that would be great if he did.
Delete"So what would you like to say Mr Trump?"
"ZZZ-Zzzz-ZZzzz-hngGGggh-Ppbhww- zZZzzzZZ . . ."
The man behind him in the photo looks at least half asleep too, even if standing. What keeps astonishing me is that the whole of the US seems unable to come up with a couple of candidates for president a little bit younger than 77 vs 81.
ReplyDeleteSome people at 77 and 81 are perfectly lucid but not these two.
DeleteI live here in the US and a lot of us can't believe this is the best we can bring forward.
DeleteIt's hard to stay awake when you stay up all night snorting Adderall and rage-tweeting.
ReplyDeleteHe also likes to order in a midnight feast from McDonalds.
DeleteI had a nap half way through reading this, but did not dream of angels and acts of kindness.
ReplyDeleteNo. You dreamt of wowing The Shepley Writers' Group with a poem abour rainbows.
DeleteSleepy Don indeed. I wish he would just go away.
ReplyDeleteTrump has been the president so why the hell does he want to do it again? He could just play golf which, by the way, he does as badly as he does political leadership.
DeleteIf you can't stand the trial, don't do the crimes.
ReplyDeleteI swear I did not commit any crimes David!
DeleteA life of crime can wear your old ass out. Not YOURS, of course, but you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteYes. I do know what you mean... I think.
DeleteIf they're not praising him and his "very good brain" he is utterly disinterested.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what evidence there is that he has a "very good brain". If there is any evidence, it is very well-hidden.
DeleteMaybe it is "very good" because it has hardly been used?
DeleteOh go easy on him. He just needs a six-pack or two of Diet Coke.
ReplyDeleteAn invigorating glass of cyanide should keep him wide awake.
DeleteA piece of shit rarely moves.
