Donald Trump once again, he struggled to stay awake while testifying at his first criminal trial.
As “Drowsy Don” lawyers cross-examined former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker Friday morning, those at the Manhattan courthouse documented Trump’s nap time.
Just minutes into the day’s proceedings, former Deputy Attorney General Harry Litman described the former president as “heavy-lidded”, noting that he “appeared to doze for brief periods”. Trump’s sleepiness during the secret trial has become a well-documented phenomenon as New York prosecutors make their case.
By Litman, Trump slipped into a “real nap” and was “asleep for several minutes.” Perhaps this was due to the “quite boring” arguments of his lawyers, who were would have “barely delighted” to the jury, which exhausted the 77-year-old man.
An aging Trump would be the second-oldest president in the history of the office if he succeeds in running for a second term, behind his opponent. Trump criticized President Biden, 81, for his age on the campaign trail, reprising the nickname “Sleepy Joe” in a February Truth Social article.
Speculation about whether Biden would agree to a debate given his age ended Friday. During an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” Biden kicked the ball into Trump’s corner, thereby engaging in a debate. “I’m happy to debate him,” Biden told Stern.
