His ‘Sleepy Joe’ nickname for his rival seems to have come full circle, with social media users now calling Mr Trump ‘Sleepy Don’

While the rest of the world can’t peel their eyes away as Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial gets under way in New York, the former president himself appears to be far less enthralled by the proceedings.

Jury selection got under way on Monday in the first-ever criminal trial of a sitting or former president, as he faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a bid to cover up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

But, according to some courtroom reporters, Mr Trump appeared to struggle to keep his eyes open – and at one point may have even fallen asleep.

“Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack,” *New York Times *reporter Maggie Haberman reported.

The observation quickly inspired a new nickname for the 77-year-old former president: “Sleepy Don.”

    Not sure why you would believe anything Robert Hur says since it was proven that he lied in that report.

      I’m just going to finish reading that source you linked, I’ll reply back as soon as I’m done.

      It’s weird tho, I’m having trouble clicking on it. Almost like it’s not there, but surely someone wouldn’t just insist it was true when it would be easy to prove it.

        I’m not going to waste my time since it’s clear you have no interest in anything that contradicts your biases. A simple search will give you what you need if you ever decide to wake the fuck up.
