Trump Appears to Be Sleeping During Trial

“Trump appears to be sleeping,” the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman reported this afternoon. “His head keeps dropping down, and his mouth goes slack.” Later, speaking to CNN, she told Jake Tapper, “He appeared to be asleep. And routinely his head would fall down.… He didn’t pay attention to a note his lawyer Todd Blanche passed him.” Cameras, unfortunately, are not allowed in the courtroom, so we don’t have footage of all of this. But you don’t just have to take Haberman’s word for it.

Erik Uebelacker, a reporter for Courthouse News, saw the same thing: As did Law360’s Stewart Bishop: While Trump’s supporters will presumably see his dozing as a sign of masculinity or something , as New York magazine points out, it’s a bad look not just because of the obvious but for one very Trump-specific reason: “Sleepy Joe” was always a low-energy Trump nickname.
