The Politics of Sleeping

This is a repeat from you guessed it Putin. Come with me back to the year of 2022 in Beijing where China was hosting the Winter Olympics. Putin and XI pledged eternal brotherhood and best friends forever status. Putin was a guest of honor for the opening gala. All the different countries come in one-by-one. Then Ukraine team comes in and Putin falls asleep immediately and 30 days later he would attack that country and begin killing thousands in an unjust war. The cameras captured this. The message was from Putin that these guys are nothing and I am so bored I fell asleep. Trump pulled the same shit yesterday. The key differences is Putin could have left but Trump’s ass is in front of the judge and soon a jury.
Keep up with the Russian Mafia tough guy stuff Donny - I am sure everyone will be fooled as you are obviously guiltily as sin.
Make the issue he is in court for paying multiple woman to not tell the fact that he had sex with him right before the 2016 election.

Excessive use of Adderall leads to the inability to sleep. Trump looked unwell in court.

would be clamoring for the 25th amendment to be exercised. Laughable to think DoltDonnie could ever do anything subliminal, doesn’t exist in his supercon bag of tricks.

a ground assault on the Court?
He is showing any potential juror that he is weak, pathetic or arrogant. None of which will help him.

If it is just meat for his followers, what's the point. They will fawn on him no matter how he behaves. And this behavior will not win over any undecided voters. It doesn't help him in court or in the election.
No, I think sometime a cigar is just a cigar.

The photos I saw of Trump he did not look well. If it's about messaging Trump screwed up because the message he sent wasn't apathy towards the court, the message received was an old man falling asleep.

Calling him Sleepy Don just seems to ring a bell.
