Trump said he was ‘sharper than I was 25 years ago.’ Then he spent an hour appearing to doze off – again
At the start of a Cabinet meeting just after noon ET on Tuesday, Donald Trump made his seemingly obligatory reference to “Sleepy Joe” Biden.
Then he assured he was “sharper than I was 25 years ago,” while rebuking The New York Times for a lengthy and detailed story last week laying out how the 79-year-old president appears to have slowed down during his second term.
But over the next hour and a half, Trump struggled to embody the sharpness and vigor he had just laid claim to.
In fact, he seemed to wage a lengthy and often-losing battle with a midday nap. Even as his Cabinet was assembled to engage in one of his favorite activities – singing the praises of Trump – he repeatedly appeared to doze off.

He might not be wrong. He wasn't very sharp 25 years ago either.
He's always been stupid. But even compared to his first term, he's so much less alert. He's less snappy with responses. Just overall sluggish and dim.
Fox is working overtime to get decent sound clips
The Media: "Dear Leader was seen to close his eyes in fervent prayer for our freedom."
Snoring attentively
We deserved to see his fucking brains spread all over the floor. Sending pink mist energy, you child raping traitor
I just thought about how crazy it's gonna be when he finally eats shit. When JFK died, it seemed sad, like him or not. Not really a comparison, but when Diana died, the world was shocked and elton John wrote a song and whatever.
When the rapist dies, aside from americans, everyone with two braincells will laugh and just be happy that the world got a bit better.
Idk I remember Reagan's funeral
I have a bottle of Chartreuse with Trumps name on it.
I’m gonna get weird the night he is on his way to hell.
I will celebrate with soda. He isn't worth any expensive alcohol.
He recycled a song he already had, which was somehow fitting for poor Diana, who was in an unhappy situation, but wasn't particularly bright herself.
Have you heard the Kirk song?
They made a Kirk song?
There's a song about Captain Kirk of the starship enterprise?
In a way, yes.
THERE'S KLINGONS ON THE STARBOARD BOW !
Now that is a song I would like enough to hear more than a few seconds or twice.
I have a stick of butter that is sharper than he ever was
Many many very important people are saying that you have the sharpest stick of butter ever created.
Do they call each other before school to coordinate their colors?
I don't think they have to. The sycophants are just all mimicking their dear leader, who as always worn that combination.
Kegsbreath trying to be cheeky with the plaid.
Every minute he's sleeping is a minute he's not actively fucking us at least I guess
I don’t think he’s the real problem. It’s everyone around him and he just signs off on anything they put in front of him.
Human Auto Pen.
Yup. The whole “every accusation is a confession” thing will hold true for the autopen stuff too. I can guarantee he’s basically getting Weekend At Bernie’s’ed through the white house by all of his sycophants while he dozes. And that means they’re able to pass whatever the hell they want while he sleeps. And the scary part is that a lot of them will be a lot more competent and slimy than Trump is.
Stephen Miller is my #1 enemy. He keeps ignoring my requests for a fist fight over who gets to stay here and who gets to move to Venezuela.

Have you noticed how this only started once their mascot was put in office? Mascots are important. Disney is never going to kill Mickey.
How do you figure? Sleeping on a problem can be a great way to solve it.
Don't worry he has a whole team to do that on his behalf. Every minute Trump is sleeping is a minute where Steven Miller gets to make more decisions with no one to tell him no.
I tend to get very bad ideas when I sleep. Then I wake up and realize how bad the idea was. Trump is likely to have a bad idea while sleeping and later act on it
Define "actively" - like any other leader, he mainly gets others to do stuff (while he sleeps).
He’s just dreaming about all the children he raped.
As sharp as a broken pencil, perhaps. Certainly just as useless.
I disagree.
A broken pencil can be sharpened.
A broken pencil is also sharp.
He's as sharp as a bowling ball, and denser.
A broken pencil can be sharpened. Dozing donny can not.
I mean that might still be true
People like him think they are slick, but really they just take advantage of people below them.
People who are actually slick aren't a part of his lifestyle.
Dozy don sleeping again
Drowsy don showcasing that old man energy. Pathetic!
He's probably referring to his odor and the word "pungent" didn't come to his mind.
Those diapers aren't going to change themselves, you know.
Yup. Still a liar.
I dunno, he wasn't ever the sharpest spoon in the toolbox
If it's not a lie, he don't say it.
I wish someone would start talking directly to him in such a way it’s obvious he’s not responding. Or maybe have Obama come in and laugh at him like he did that one guy sleeping on the subway.
Yeah, but BidenSoOld and Kamala cackles - and doesn't have a penis - so here we are.
Don't care how sharp a rapist kiddie fucker is. Still a rapist kiddie fucker.
To be honest, I also do this whenever I have a meeting at work that I don't care about listening to. Bonus points if the seats are comfortable as fuck.
Didn't he once say just personality isn't much different from when he was 6? Imagine telling on yourself like that
The only thing sharper now than it was 25 years ago are the devils sharpening their pitchforks to poke him with when he dies and his soul is dragged to hell.
If there is any use of AI that I want is to make a video of that to make a scene like that in Ghost... when a damned person dies they dont get a choice to remain on earth or move on, they are pulled right to hell. That was the scariest thing I saw on tv as a kid.
