A grumpy Donald Trump glared at the New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman when he woke up from a nap in the courtroom during his trial Monday and discovered that she had already informed the world that he had dozed off.
“Mr. Trump appeared to fall asleep on several occasions, his mouth relaxing and his head falling to his chest,” Haberman wrote Monday.
Haberman spoke to CNN later Monday to explain that courtroom fatigue spares no one, including jurors and judges, but she added that if a defendant falls asleep, it must be reported.
Shortly after releasing her report on her nap, Haberman told CNN that Trump had looked at her in the courtroom, describing it as a “pretty specific look,” apparently because he didn’t like let her have her Monday. Morning the siesta is common knowledge.
“I think having to sit there and be held captive while we all report on him is going to be deeply uncomfortable for him because he’s someone who likes to be in control,” Haberman said.
On Tuesday, during his second day in a Manhattan courtroom for his secret trial, Trump appeared tired again.
“Trump periodically leans back in his chair and closes his eyes, only to shift his weight moments later,” NBC News noted in its live coverage. “It’s hard to tell if he’s fallen asleep or resting his eyes.”
