The video of Trump sleeping at his news conference lingers in my mind....

[kentuck]

Mostly, the reaction of his people standing behind him. They talk louder than normal hoping to keep him awake. They glance at each other, to acknowledge if each is seeing seeing what they are all seeing. The uncomfortable body language of each of them. The coal mine executive standing directly behind him with a puzzled look on his face as if to say, "what do I do if he falls in the floor?"

How could we have ever known?

Yes, how?

[PittBlue]

1. I would love to see him fall on the floor.

[tanyev]

2. They should try kicking his chair to wake him up.

[kentuck]

3. Someone should slip a whoopee cushion under their shoe...

...and step on it.

The reaction would be worth a million dollars.

4. Waiting for the drool to drip down his chin, replayed in slo-mo.

I saw this on the TV when I was going to lunch. I assumed this was cherry-picking of a bad video moment. But it was actually live coverage. The MFer was f-ing asleep in his chair, and everybody else just carried on. I couldn't hear the dialog.

And what is up with him being seated in all of these photo ops? Are they afraid he will do a face plant on the carpet if he is standing up?

Why don't these morons pre-record these events so they can get the cameras off Trump while he is nodding off?

14. Glad to see someone underline this point

"And what is up with him being seated in all of these photo ops? Are they afraid he do a face plant on the carpet if he is standing up?"

16. As far as the pre-recorded idea

They're not that smart. Unless the they want him to look stupid on purpose. They don't have to put much effort into that.

[purr-rat beauty]

6. It's the waking up part that bothers me

[Walleye]

7. Lil Marco didn't mind perjuring himself about it

[vapor2]

8. What bothers me is that 47 had the effn nerve to call Biden Sleepy Joe

[Sogo]

18. Don't forget: every accusation is an admission with him....

9. A seat cushion that is wired with 110 volts.

That should keep him awake. JD can hit a switch.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

12. Won't work

He’s got a massively loaded extra-large jumbo diaper in there and the electrodes would never penetrate.

[louis-t]

20. Yeah, but the soup in that diaper would

act as a good conductor.

[struggle4progress]

10. I think he's just pining for the fjords

[kentuck]

11. They could just roll him over to the Rotunda....

...and let him lay in state until he wakes up?

13. Worked in an office with a "meeting sleeper". We did the same

Pretended not to notice
Talked louder

We sat around a small oval table

One day, she started to snore and the boss had no choice but to quickly tap her shoulder.
