He fell asleep in a room full of his cabinet and reporters - WTF?

[617Blue]

I know I'm not breaking any new ground here but if yesterday's presser wasn't a wake up call anyone in government (or legacy media) who cares about the future of the USA, I don't know what is. The sicker he gets the more wreckless and destructive he will get. Are there any GOP patriots?

[Botany]

1. And he has had a stroke too .... Maybe more than one.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-facial-droop-9-11-002129721.html

[617Blue]

3. He has a constant IV wound on his hand

He could live for another 10 years just deteriorating and no GOPer will say a f ing thing about it. I ain't waiting for Tapper to get his panties in a bunch either.

[Botany]

5. Trump is very close to the pull date of his milk carton of a body.

[ChicagoTeamster]

17. Or a milk carton with his picture on it after he wanders away from Mar a Lago

[COL Mustard]

67. Would they really want

To find him???

If he wandered off, just let him go!

[ChicagoTeamster]

70. I doubt he's ever unsupervised long enough to be able to wander off on his own

[COL Mustard]

71. We should only be so lucky!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

28. Good post and

I’ll give you a two-point conversion for the definition of DOGE. TSF is as sour and foul as spoiled milk.

[AncientOfDays]

63. Yeah,

he;s getting some kind of treatment that requires injections, Maybe the drugs are putting him to sleep?

If that bandage was from the MRI, it should have healed long ago, I had big bruise after cataract surgery, but in less than 2 weeks it's almost completely gone - it us unnoticeable.

[Bengus81]

27. Exacty why they were doing a MRI on his head. Be a shame if he had more

[Botany]

30. Look @ the right side of his mouth when he is sleeping and you can see the post stroke droop of his lips.

Leavitt tried to distract from the MRI by talking about his heart but not about his head. And yes
you are exactly right because they didn’t give him an MRI @ a cognitive assessment test for no
reason but in the meantime he is letting Miller, Bannon, Kushner, Gorka, Loomer, Musk, and Putin
run the show as they placate Donny by letting him ruin the White House.

[MustLoveBeagles]

54. I noticed that too

My husband had 2 minor strokes 2 years ago and his mouth still occasionally droops on the left side.

[Torchlight]

2. He calls dereliction of duty, 'not being Woke.' nt

Poor little fella looks feeble and all tuckered out.

[Boomerproud]

4. The fact that nothing is being done says everything.

I'm done. I don't want to hear about the 250th "celebration".

[Attilatheblond]

6. He's always been an anti-social, pathelogical brute, but now he's being used to sheild younger pathelogical brutes

Been thinking a lot about that episode of Star Trek, the one with the Nazis and drugged 'leader'. I won't let Trump off the hook; he has spent a lifetime abusing others for profit, but now he has become the worn out tool of others like him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_of_Force]

"Patterns of Force" is the twenty-first episode of the second season of the American science-fiction television series Star Trek. Written by John Meredyth Lucas and directed by Vincent McEveety, it was first broadcast on NBC on February 16, 1968.

In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise tracks down a Federation observer on a planet dominated by a "Naziesque" regime.

7. The dude is a dud

In every conceivable way.

[struggle4progress]

62. They thought maybe the E fell off the sign or maybe it was just a typo

So they booked their vacation at Donald's Dud Ranch

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

But it was stupid. And it was spooky. And --- nobody could figure out how to leave.

Coming soon to an abandoned drive-in near you!

[Goonch]

8. ;-{) zzzzzzzzzz

[Botany]

10. Only one person is responsible for Trump passing out during cabinet meetings.

Sleepy Joe Biden.

[Ray Bruns]

18. Nope! This guy.

[littlemissmartypants]

33. I can't see the picture. What is it?

[whopis01]

36. Obama eating french fries saying

"I'm just waiting to see how it's my fault"

[littlemissmartypants]

38. TY ❤️

[MustLoveBeagles]

39. President Obama eating

[littlemissmartypants]

48. TY❤️

[Ray Bruns]

45. Obama with the caption "I'm just waiting to see how this is my fault."

[littlemissmartypants]

49. TY❤️

[enid602]

32. Weekend at Donnie's

Maybe Trump is not sleeping. Maybe he’s dead.

[MustLoveBeagles]

40. Don't get people's hopes up 😜

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

42. Lol. A colleague would fall asleep at meetings, we'd all carefully pretend not to notice

Eventually she'd start to snore and someone would have to subtly wake her up. It was cringe.

[KentuckyWoman]

66. We had one back in the day

Even the managers he thought just loved him were just keeping him close out of self defense. He was disliked worse than Ted Cruz.

He partied hard all weekend and slept through most Mondays. Someone finally had enough of him and started setting him up so the VP types caught him snoring. Took about a month and he was gone.

Hate for anyone to lose a job but getting rid of that toxic mess made such a good impact.

[surfered]

9. Maybe he shouldn't stay up all night rage tweeting

[CountAllVotes]

11. That is what my late husband was doing

The last few years he was around he was falling asleep all of the time.

We went to see David Crosby and he was out cold during the concert!

I knew something was very wrong but his "doctors" never paid much attention to it.

After his vein surgeries, he was a goner. Dead about a year or so later. They made a bundle off of him and at the end, I paid the entire bill for his "end of life" care.

Falling asleep and nodding off all of the time is part of DEMENTIA. In my late husband's case, it was VASCULAR DEMENTIA!

Sounds rather familiar doesn't it?

& recommend!!

[617Blue]

12. Rubio was right next to him speaking loudly and was asleep - sound a frigging asleep. *

[kimbutgar]

14. In the senior centers I move old people into I see these old people sleeping like this all the time

And a few have died since the last time I was there.

[kimbutgar]

13. Sleepy orange piggy ( SOP) is my new name for him.

[oasis]

15. More sleep, less harm. Please continue.

[CountAllVotes]

20. Just wait ...

Soon he'll be smearing, one of the things that people w/dementia do.

Who will clean the shit off of the walls and desk and the new big ugly ballroom?

The tax payers will pay pay pay.

Dump is a SICK man, sick!

[Mr.Bee]

16. Every Day

he looks and sounds more like Virginia Foxx

[2na fisherman]

26. Tells Reporters To...

"Shut up...shut up!" She appears to be just as mean as Trump. Shouting down people is their MAGA way of representing their constituents. Why debate issues like a Rhodes Scholar when you can just yell at those who take issue with your bad policies.

[ChicagoTeamster]

19. They're all afraid of the MAGA organization that's really running things sending goons after them.

[FakeNoose]

21. What is different now is that the media is REPORTING IT

We're being shown photos and told by the reporters that Chump falls asleep constantly.
They've known it but they weren't telling us before, now they are.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

35. Yes, I've noticed that too. The sane washing is also less. But then again tRump's deterioration is very obvious.

It also seems that "knives are out" from senior military (active and retired) for Kegsbreath and tRump. They have lost respect and support from a lot of people who are in a position to leak the truth.

[Auggie]

22. A stroke could explain the MRI

[Martin68]

24. A stroke does indeed explain his MRI.

[Martin68]

23. Republican Congress-critters: Ho hum. Yawn.

[Bluetus]

25. I understand why he surrounds himself in gold colored paint, and ass-kissing spectacles

It is the definition of malignant narcissism. That's who he is and always has been He doesn't own most of the buildings with his name on them. And the ones he does own are underwater. We know all this.

What makes no sense is scheduling these marathon ass-kissing sessions before cameras, knowing full well that he can't stay awake for 15 minutes. This shows that Trump has no operative executive function left in his brain. And he has nobody in his inner circle who gives a shit about protecting his image. On the contrary, everybody around him is there for their own personal reasons and will be just as happy as the rest of us when he is carted out of the WH in either a straight jacket or a coffin.

The time is approaching, and we can expect to see the long knives come out as the Vance people try to get the edge over the MIller people and the Rubio people and the Heritage people.

[maxsolomon]

29. I've been a drifter-offer most of my adult life.

In college, I used to sit next to windows and open them a crack during winter quarter so I wouldn't fall asleep in 8:30 classes. The rooms were all steam heated.

Nowadays, after lunch, I can carb crash in Zoom meetings and get the nods.

I regularly drift off watching TV at night.

I guess what I'm trying to say is Fuck Trump, I loathe him. He's the 2nd worst person in the world (Putin is #1) and I wish he'd died 20 years ago.

[Irish_Dem]

31. GOP consists of cowards and criminals.

[Prairie Gates]

34. He's normalizing Sleeping While Presidenting

By this time next year, he'll be full on snoring during bill signings and Jake Tapper will chide anyone who questions it: isn't that just Trump being Trump? Isn't this already baked into the electorate?

We live in hell.

[shanti]

50. Hello, auto pen! N/t

[Pluvious]

37. We have many reasons to be concerned, read what Irish_Dem had to say...

From a recent thread on his current mental state :

41. How long can an 80 year old live with dementia?

How long can an 80 year old live with dementia?
AI Overview
An 80-year-old with dementia has an average life expectancy of about 3 to 4 years after diagnosis, but this varies significantly based on individual factors. For example, a dementia diagnosis at this age reduces life expectancy by about three to four years, compared to a diagnosis at age 65 which reduces it by about 13 years. Other types of dementia, like vascular dementia, may have a shorter life expectancy (around 5 years), while Alzheimer's may have a longer one (8-10 years).

*********

My late husband had symptoms for years. He was dx'd in February and gone in May.

Good luck dumpy, you and America need it!

[MaineBlueBear]

43. No patriots

Only hatetriots

[TheRickles]

44. Imagine the coverage if Biden or Obama had ever dozed off like that....

[thought crime]

46. Like a scene from Local Hero

CEO Burt Lancaster falls asleep and managers continue the meeting in whisper mode.

[Totally Tunsie]

47. Now, just imagine how he'd humiliate one of his staffers who did the same.

It would be brutal.

Fine for me, but not for thee.

[Lokee11]

51. The problem is not that he keeps falling asleep -

The problem is that he keeps waking up!!!!

✊FDT!

[Buzz cook]

52. Sleeping while getting blown is a talent

Sleeping while getting multiple blow jobs is simply amazing.

[Mme. Defarge]

53. ILL DUCE!

That's all...

[malaise]

55. A wake-up call

😂 😂

[617Blue]

56. Unintentional humor on my part!*

[malaise]

57. Nicely played

😀

[LiberalLovinLug]

58. Dopey Don

[LilElf70]

59. But But But

I read somewhere that Leavitt said he can see with his eyes shut? WTF... How toopid does one have to be to say this to everyone?

[Skittles]

60. he always tires quickly when the subject isn't HIM

he doesn't care what others have to say unless it is praise for HIM

[Xipe Totec]

61. Early onset decrepitude. It started in his 40's. nt

[DFW]

64. There is a certain poetic symmetry to this OP

Calling a discussion about Trump falling asleep with greater frequency and intensity a “wake-up call.”

Very fitting!

[BluesRunTheGame]

69. Well, he promised to bring us to the end of "woke".

I think we’re finally there.

[Old Crank]

65. Does he need to replace his shoes after every cabinet meeting?

They must get soaked from all that boot kicking.

[Deminpenn]

68. Anyone else notice how much he looked down at notes

when he was answering questions? It's like his staff had prepared talking points from his own statements on various topics.
It's the same thing when he's sitting at his desk in the Oval Office making an announcement or taking questions. This is different from his first term or even his campaign before the 2024 election when he'd just riff bs off the top of head.
