Sleepy Don': Trump Falls Asleep (Again!) During Hush-Money Trial. Second day [View all]

Source-https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-asleep-hush-money-trial.html

snip -"While there are sketch artists present and there were some photos taken of Trump at the beginning of each day’s proceedings, there is no audio or video broadcast of the trial. So we may never see photographic evidence of Trump’s inability to keep his eyes open in court (which, in addition to being funny, is notable since he keeps insisting he’s far more spry than Biden, though they’re about the same age). It’s probably just as well; knowing Trump, he’d frame the “Sleepy Don” shot as a defiant statement against “political persecution” and start selling it on T-shirts.
