"I move my hand so that people will know I'm listening. I'm hearing every word, and I can't wait to get out."

Trump, 79, told New York magazine that he finds the marathon suck-up sessions to be “boring as hell,” so he closes his eyes as his room of sycophants shower him with praise.

The president insists he is not actually sleeping. He claims that he moves his hand to signal to his appointees that he is listening even when his face suggests otherwise.,

“I’m going around a room, and I’ve got 28 guys—the last one was three and a half hours,” Trump said of the December meeting. “I have to sit back and listen, and I move my hand so that people will know I’m listening. I’m hearing every word, and I can’t wait to get out.”

A video from Trump’s most recent Cabinet meeting showed him struggling to stay awake as his secretaries heaped praise on him.

3. "I've asked myself again and again whether it wouldn't have been better if we hadn't gone into hiding; if we were dead

“I’ve asked myself again and again whether it wouldn’t have been better if we hadn’t gone into hiding; if we were dead now and didn’t have to go through this misery, especially so that the others could be spared the burden. But we all shrink from this thought. We still love life, we haven’t yet forgotten the voice of nature, and we keep hoping, hoping for...everything.”
