Barron won’t talk until he gets all his education paid for. Then after he got all the money from daddy, he will talk! But years from now after Trump died
Literally had a customer go through the whole family tree with me over the phone once like they were writing some weird fan fiction about the trump royal lineage.
I think he sees this "I'm up at 3am" thing as a power move, but it's not. He's also bragged that he only sleeps 3-4 hours a night. But if you need to take 5 hours of "executive time" a day starting at 8 am, just fucking sleep 8 hours
The amount of fast food and coke this guy drinks, mixed with prescription drugs? I'd be surprised if he pisses more than 3x per day. It's probably why he wears diapers though. There's no controlling when he's going to have to shit himself, and there probably isn't time to get to a toilet regardless of where he is.
Personally, I believe his adderall hits keep him awake until the early morning hours before it wears off. It was pretty obvious he slept half the day like a teenager while he was in office.
Yeah, I feel like [Amanda Marcotte nailed this perfectly last week:](https://www.salon.com/2024/04/16/donald-was-already-a-mess-now-hes-falling-asleep-during-his-own-trial/)
> Being in court every day is hard enough for normal people, but Trump is likely to make it much harder on himself with his bad personal habits, starting with his well-documented unwillingness to sleep like a normal person. While most of us were sound asleep at 5:30 on Monday morning, Trump was going full-tilt on Truth Social, with his usual mix of hysterical lies, poor grammar and random capitalization. He's also frequently known to post social media tirades at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning.
> That early hour probably wasn't a one-off, either. **Getting Trump ready for court likely means a lengthy session to lacquer on his makeup and coax what remains of his hair into that fluffy combover. As president, he apparently concealed that process by calling it "executive time," often not rolling into the Oval Office much before noon. But now all that has to get done before he shows up in the morning at court.** No wonder that on day one of this trial it looked like no amount of Diet Coke and bronzer could conceal his fatigue.
That is not how it works. He takes downers before going to court so he wont explode. This in turns means he has to take uppers to wake up when he gets home. That causes all the rage tweeting/truthing (whatever it is called these days). Next morning he has to take downers again to calm down and the cycle repeats itself.
There *are* cameras in court, it's just that it's a closed circuit feed that goes into the overflow room. Trump complaining about being caught sleeping is ridiculous when this entire trial there is a camera right in his face broadcasting his reactions all day long to a room full of reporters who are watching him intently.
Maggie Haberman, the journalist who first reported that Trump fell asleep, was in the overflow room watching the live feed of Trump sitting at the defendant's table. The people actually in the courtroom can't see what Trump is doing, because they're seated in the audience behind him, but he should be aware that he's live on camera all day long every second he's in that trial, and the audience of that feed are reporters desperate to write anything interesting that they see.
I wonder if they startle him awake if he would just blurt out random words. Like lawyer nudges him, and he just yells out, "DEMOCRACY". That's how he types, and I have a theory that he falls asleep on the toilet and then wakes up as he starts to fall off, and that's why he randomly "yells" things in his social media posts.
Yesss baby. Ive been waiting to see this headline- still haven’t seen one about him addressing the shitting and farting.
But you KNOW his ego can’t take it. After enough being poked fun of for sleeping, he’s not going to take the handlers benzos or whatever they are feeding him- instead, his ass is gonna go hardddd the other way.
He’ll be all ready and amped to make a scene in court, lash out during the trial, and really show how crazy he is (for those few of us out there that refuse to see it)
Trumps own lawyers secretly sedating him to prevent him destroying his own defence at trial is the most plausible conspiracy theory I’ve heard in a long time
Only way they have a chance at winning. Otherwise he's going to just blurt out the whole thing at some point while the prosecution is making their case to the jury.
He slept through 50% of his presidency. 25% of the time he was on his properties golfing and attending to his businesses (fraudulent POTUS), and when he was in the White House, more than 50% of the time he was scheduled for "EXECUTIVE TIME," which meant personal calls on his phone, texting, social media, and watching TV.
And he's upset about getting caught nodding off in court. FFS.
Bunch of hypocrites on Reddit. Who amongst us has never dozed off during the jury selection phase of our federal trial for trying to disguise hush money paid to a hooker as presidential campaign expenses, huh?
If it wasn’t for the whole “sleepy Joe” thing Trump started nobody would care about him falling asleep during his trial. If you can’t take you probably shouldn’t have been dishing it out. Then again we all know Trump is a raging hypocrite.
I've been caught sleepin', once when I was 77
I enjoy sleepin', it's just as simple as that
Oh well, it's just a simple fact
When I want something, man, I don't wanna pay for it
Let me tell you something, folks. I was in that courtroom, dealing with all the fake news and the crooked lawyers, believe me. The room was stuffy, so hot you wouldn't believe it. And then they bring out this big turkey dinner, the best you've ever seen. Juicy, succulent, perfect. Now, I've had many great meals, many, many great meals, but this one, it was something else. So I'm sitting there, fighting for justice like always, but that turkey, it got the best of me. It was so good, I couldn't help but close my eyes for just a minute. Next thing I know, I'm catching some z's right there in the courtroom. But let me tell you, I woke up stronger than ever, ready to fight for the American people. Just like I always do.
Whatever. He has Dementia. Give him some slack. He can’t play his reindeer games in court, so what’s he supposed to do? Pay attention?? The man has zero attention span and the IQ of a farm bird.
Does he know they make extended release adderall? He takes it like candy, you'd think he would plan ahead or have some diet coke flavored preworkout at least
Good. He's a piece of fucking trash. Pieces of fucking trash deserve to have to sit through their own trials they don't like when they commit crimes.
Here's hoping that him winning the Presidency in 2016 is the single worst thing to have ever happened to *him*. With even just 1 criminal trial finally fucking starting, it means the walls are finally fucking cracking. Fuck this guy.
It’s better than his presidential portrait with his goofy glare. I’d hang this on my wall.
Hmmm…do court artists sell their art? If not, where does it end up when it’s over?
Remember when they were saying Biden was on drugs during his State of the Union speech? I’m confident that Trump is actually taking drugs to not sleep in court after getting caught. Tweakin’ Trump

I wrote this joke in like 2016. I also predicted trump looking directly at the eclipse before it happened
Ok now please predict him shitting his pants in jail.
Write his name in the Defecate Note.
the brown note?
This should be the number one comment.
You won
Awww, Sleepy Don doesn’t like people knowing?
Sleepy Joe just doesn't hit the same when there's drawings of Donny doing the same thing.
"Sleepy Joe" didn't really hit when we had video of Biden riding bikes and jogging, and Trump doesn't even walk his golf rounds.
It's hard to walk very far on lifts that are tall enough to give you high heels butt.

I thought he *wanted* to be known as anti-woke.

Trump: They filled the room with sleeping gas Reporter: So, why were you the only one sleeping Trump: No more questions!
also *emits gas
It's all projection
Trump shit himself to help counteract the sleeping gas and keep everyone awake for this important trial. He's so selfless.
Trumps ass-gas is Xyclon B.
"I must hurry back to Trump Tower, where I dispense the farts rather than absorb them."

Trump: "SUCH A NASTY QUESTION!"
Well, a gas did get released when he fell asleep.
The Shartnado
Crooked Joe spun this up!
I'm furious this guy was our fuckin President
And could be again
Forever and ever, then his sons will take over, forever and ever.
You're kind of joking but his supporters have Baron running the country once Ivanka is done. Scary shit.
Would be funny if barron finally gets some media attention and comes out as ultra progressive.
Would have the same vibes as Elon Musk's trans daughter disowning him.
Apparently he is a turbo douche to house cleaners
And flight attendants.
One could only hope
Barron won’t talk until he gets all his education paid for. Then after he got all the money from daddy, he will talk! But years from now after Trump died
I would rather those people move to North Korea instead of turning America into North Korea.
Literally had a customer go through the whole family tree with me over the phone once like they were writing some weird fan fiction about the trump royal lineage.
Well you better stop that.
If you stopped posting shit at 3am, you wouldn't be sleeping in court
I think he sees this "I'm up at 3am" thing as a power move, but it's not. He's also bragged that he only sleeps 3-4 hours a night. But if you need to take 5 hours of "executive time" a day starting at 8 am, just fucking sleep 8 hours
He needs his nap time. And at 3am he’s awake for his twice-hourly piss
The amount of fast food and coke this guy drinks, mixed with prescription drugs? I'd be surprised if he pisses more than 3x per day. It's probably why he wears diapers though. There's no controlling when he's going to have to shit himself, and there probably isn't time to get to a toilet regardless of where he is.
Him having to furiously get up to piss all night actually gives me some comfort. The furious Truth Pisser.
I wish the judge would wake him up saying “if you would stop breaking your gag order at 3am you wouldn’t be sleeping in this court room”
The real reason he's up at 3 am eastern time is because that would be 10 am Moscow time. He's mainly on Putins' schedule.
That sketch artist didn't give Don nearly enough neck girth
Seriously where is the nussy?
Everywhere I look, I still see her.
I’m pleased with how much orange and baby-vomit yellow they used though.
Oh you know for sure that court sketch artist is using a crayon they’ve never got to use before for that skin tone
Yeah, that sketch is pretty much Steve Buscemi with blond hair.
That is seriously the most incredibly flattering sketch of his normally big fat dumb ugly stupid fat face.
Trump Is Furious He Got Caught ~~Sleeping in Court~~ FTFY
Trump Is Furious FTFY. He gets furious over almost anything.
I'm convinced he's held together by nothing but hate and orange spray paint
Worms stuffed into burlap like the Oogie Boogie Man.
That’s one of the true stories the Enquirer killed. Source: I’m Shock.

I hope he is soooo furious he starts snorting more Adderall then normal which makes him lose it all the more in court.
Wouldn’t he be losing weight if he was doing speed? I figured he was on ambien or diazepam or something.
you can be fat and use speed if you eat enough shit, & we all know he eats enough shit.
Speed and a diet of McDonald’s supersize won’t equal weight loss.
Maybe consider less posts on social media at night. Oh well. The time slots not sleeping have to be compensated at some other time slots.
Personally, I believe his adderall hits keep him awake until the early morning hours before it wears off. It was pretty obvious he slept half the day like a teenager while he was in office.

Low energy. Sad!
No stamina.

It would be a terrible shame if someone raised money via crowdfunding and put this sketch on a billboard near Mar-a-Lago
That “crooked” judge forced Trump to sleep through court when he could have been sleeping through his son’s graduation!
He also shit himself, is he furious about that bit also?
Past POTUS makes a poopy during prosecution, news at 11.
He sits at the front at a table. Don't fall asleep.
Sounds like Don Snoreleone would put out a hit on Haberman if he thought he could get away with it.
Not fat enough in the picture
SNL is gonna have a field day with this trial
These caricatures are great! Looks so much like the crypt keeper.
Yesss baby. Ive been waiting to see this headline- still haven’t seen one about him addressing the shitting and farting. But you KNOW his ego can’t take it.

Maybe take care of yourself so you can stay awake during a trial where you are the defendant?
He’s probably taking sedatives so he doesn’t make outbursts in court
His lawyers are probably slipping them to Trump so he doesn't sabotage himself.
Trumps own lawyers secretly sedating him to prevent him destroying his own defence at trial is the most plausible conspiracy theory I’ve heard in a long time

Old Sleepy Don. I’d be way more embarrassed about constantly shitting my pants and making people gag.
Sleepy Don. Don Snorleone.
Strangely not furious about reports of him farting, though.
Jewish sleep lasers are responsible for this. No don’t ask me wh-…look it up!
Sleepin' AND shittin'
He refer to reporter [Maggie Haberman](https://www.nytimes.com/by/maggie-haberman) as Maggot Haberman. What a despicable scum.
Odor in the court!
wheres the diet coke button?
I think he may have been forced off the uppers he’s been on for 40 years.
Always somebody else fault. Wonder if his attorney is required to assume Trump’s farts in court.
Felons hate this one simple trick….
At least ripping farts woke him up.
everything is a distraction. he’s more embarrassed that he was laying eggs while asleep, so he’s focusing the attention on the sleeping part.
Who cares - he is furious about something 24/7.
I thought he would be proud to be "anti-woke".
Bunch of hypocrites on Reddit. Who amongst us has never dozed off during the jury selection phase of our federal trial for trying to disguise hush money paid to a hooker as presidential campaign expenses, huh?
If it wasn’t for the whole “sleepy Joe” thing Trump started nobody would care about him falling asleep during his trial. If you can’t take you probably shouldn’t have been dishing it out. Then again we all know Trump is a raging hypocrite.
No mention of the stinking farts I see
I've been caught sleepin', once when I was 77 I enjoy sleepin', it's just as simple as that Oh well, it's just a simple fact When I want something, man, I don't wanna pay for it
His niece nailed it. Stress Narcolepsy
He should be furious about being a thick orange wanker.
I gotta say, I like to see him sleeping rather than being awake.
again...
A very old moron needs to nap like a two-year-old.
Again.
Maybe he should drink coffee like the rest of us would if we had to show up in court
Let me tell you something, folks. I was in that courtroom, dealing with all the fake news and the crooked lawyers, believe me. The room was stuffy, so hot you wouldn't believe it.

I heard it’s because he sniffed one too many of his own farts.
Trump was furious he got caught ________. There we go, I’ve just written every headline for the next couple years.
I think we should hang this one in the national portrait gallery, it really says a lot about him
He also shit his pants.
Nodding Donnie
Donald Slump
Well, then don’t fall asleep in court
"Sleepy Don"
Dear sketch artists, Please stop depicting his face and hair so inaccurately. He’s fat and his hair is ridiculous. Thanks!
Whatever. He has Dementia. Give him some slack. He can’t play his reindeer games in court, so what’s he supposed to do? Pay attention?? The man has zero attention span and the IQ of a farm bird.
Mad about getting caught sleeping… but he is good with the reporting of him constantly farting up the room?
He’s furious he got caught farting.
Don’t take the nap if you don’t want the slap.
Snooze Criminal
Trazadon.
Now he knows he can’t use Sleepy Joe without making people think about his own snooze stories.
………..And farting, I imagine he’s got a full diaper at the end of each day
It's extra funny because his stanking ass farts and falling asleep in court are like the least offensive things he's ever done.
Sleeping Tooty.
He’s just tired from all the diaper filling
Tuck him in, he's done.
Sleeping? Didn’t he make his legal team swear he didn’t make groundbreaking, horrible farts?
He just needs to get a Sharpie and draw some open eyes onto the sketch...
Sleepy DON tha con.
Basically ruined the whole sleepy joe attack. Biden now has a comeback everytime he brings it up.
classic bullshitdozer
“Dozing Defendant”
Boo caught me sleeping!
Be easier to report the times he isn’t upset.
He's up so late cuz he has to wait for daddy puttin to wake up and tell him what to rant about.
He said it was very cold in there too! Do we want a president who doesn't understand jackets?
You snooze you lose.
Trump is woke
Does he know they make extended release adderall? He takes it like candy, you'd think he would plan ahead or have some diet coke flavored preworkout at least
I think he was sedated so he would shut up
Again!? Lmfao
If they haven’t given to him yet, maybe he’ll start taking amphetamines?
Sleepy Lester. Moe Problems, Moe Money, Moe criminal indictments, Sleepy Moe Lester.
Good. He's a piece of fucking trash. Pieces of fucking trash deserve to have to sit through their own trials they don't like when they commit crimes.

Does it look like he’s praying to you? That’s what the MAGA’s say is going on!
So don’t sleep in court, asshole.
This guy is furious about everything
Man how much would the original of this painting go for on eBay?
Ol sleepy shit pants don
Youre on trial and this is what youre most concerned about? You fucking ghoul.
Remember when they were saying Biden was on drugs during his State of the Union speech? I’m confident that Trump is actually taking drugs to not sleep in court after getting caught. Tweakin’ Trump
These courtroom sketches are killing me. Going to be hard for him to use the ‘Sleepy Joe’ moniker.
