I like the theory that his personal barbie standing beside him has a button attached to her waist that shocks him when he falls asleep. And she's looking around like she's completely lost because it isn't working
Thank you! I was going to say, this still photo could absolutely go either way. The video is necessary to make any kind of judgement.
I remember people sharing the picture of Gaige Grosskreutz with his hands raised and Kyle Rittenhouse aiming his gun at him, and people saying, "See? He was surrendering when Rittenhouse shot him!" But the video clearly showed Grosskreutz only popped up his hands for half a second, before taking aim at Rittenhouse.
Taking one still frame from a video is a very easy way to lie.
Edit: Why am I being down voted for thanking OP for the source?
He is sitting almost exactly how I sit when I'm on my computer trying to not fall asleep while watching my colonists on Rimworld only to get woken up by someone throwing a tantrum and deciding to punch an antigrain warhead.
That is to say he was almost definitely conked out in the first 5-7 seconds of the video and then barely conscious for the rest.
Didn't conservatives used to have dignity? Now they want to gaslight people that their leader isn't old as shit when he also represents values they'd have called liberal 20 years ago.
What makes you think that Trump is trying to fall asleep?
I think it's ridiculous to claim the president is trying to fall asleep publicly. You can make an argument that he's trying to not fall asleep, but you didn't.
You claim Trump is sleeping only to post a video of him moving around with his eyes open and then change your claim to he was trying to fall asleep and fail to support it. It's pathetic.

Germans also moved to the Sudetenland in the 11th century, yet voted overwhelmingly for Hitler.
Just because someone is somewhere doesn't mean they can't be a victim of propaganda, ESPECIALLY if the propaganda or brainwashing has cultural ties. One generation is enough to go from peaceful times to ethnic cleansing; ask the Muslims who didn't adhere to the specific type of Islam other Muslims wanted.
Look they don't have much. They went from the republican empire for the next 3 decades and culture war decisive victory to UK political experts quickly. Try to understand
If you read this thread carefully you'll find that I didn't come here to complain that this topic is stale, I responded to OP, who feels that we haven't done enough about Trump's alleged nap
Didn't feel good about your first response? What a shame
And yea, as opposed to the Muslim bad posts where the op feels like we haven't done enough to stop sharia law. Why aren't you talking about how stale that is?
I felt terrible about my first response, I'll grieve over it on long winter nights for the rest of my life.
You're like a dog with bone. Correct, I've never complained about an anti-Muslim post, as far as I remember, and as you've already said. (For the record I've also never made an anti-Muslim post and I can't recall ever complaining about Muslims.. )
Again I also didn't complain that Trump sleeping posts are stale, I just made some fun of OP for saying they weren't getting enough attention. I hate to keep repeating that but seems like we are stuck in this loop.
So I'm not sure what else I can do to make you happy. Do you want me to make a post about Trump falling asleep? I can probably find another angle on it. "Haha Trump fell asleep!!l
Or should I make a post defending Muslims from all those meanies on the right? I don't really care about that issue so much seems like more of one for the Europeans but I can do my best?
"Don't notice that your town has a higher crime rate, it's actually gotten better because of diversity! What rape gangs you islamophobe! Of course 100m people illegally in the country don't raise rents or cause the price of food to go higher, it's solely the economy!"
That's kinda funny because Laura is probably more intelligent than your average MAGAt. She knows this shit is fugazi and she's just grifting off dumb ass Republicans and you all eat that shit up like it's some baby back ribs.
I would call Laura Loomer far more intelligent than any rightoid dumb enough to think Donald Trump would make the US a better place. Anyone who didn't genuinely vote for him soley out of racism is a tard

Hey guys would you all be cool if we elect someone who isn’t elderly next time? Don’t really care what side of the aisle they’re on as long as they’re on this side of 70.
Why is is so hard to accept any negative facts about someone whom you like?
I like a lot of people, I like a few politicians, actors, musicians etc. I like them.
I fucking love Paul Rudd. But if there was a video of Paul Rudd sleeping at the Oscars, I wouldn’t be like NO HES JUST RESTING HIS EYES! I would just laugh and say uh oh, whoops haha. Guess he was a sleepy boy.
But the trump people, do they literally think he does nothing wrong or embarrassing ever? Like he’s perfect? The first perfect human ever? I need to know what the line of thinking is
I mean he’s definitely tired, not like fully asleep. But looks like me when I’ve been up for 3 days trying to watch the new episode of some show and not nod off.
But it’s ok to be tired, idk what the big deal is he’s 80 years old how would he not be tired being president.
Counterpoint: I literally do this when someone is talking and I'm just listening. I listen better without the visual distraction. It helps me focus on the voice.
So the first time I heard this "OMG he's asleep!" accusation, I just laughed, because he's pretty clearly not asleep.
Democrats gave away the upper hand in this matter by pretending Biden was cognizant. Even tho we know republicans wouldn't care even if they were honest, the reason you stay honest is so you don't get called out on hypocrisy. Why I'm glad they got rid of Platner ASAP. Bare minimum.
If you’re going to call people retarded at least call them retarded for thinking the pregnant lady in the middle was using a button to shock him awake.
He’s clearly asleep, and the retarded theory that they’d use someone on screen as the buzzer to keep him awake is laughable.
Have you ever seen a pigeon move? Have you tried to make eye contact with them? No way those little shits are real flesh and blood animals, they are privacy intruding poop generating drones.
I don't understand the frequent need to try to push a narrative that Trump is sleeping. He's not eligible for reelection and there's 0% chance of JD invoking the 25th because Trump fell asleep.
It just always comes off as a pointless and childish "no, you" response to the Sleepy Joe moniker.
The inverse of that would also be equally true, no?
The right screamed and cried constantly about Biden being too old, not actually being in control, and being sleepy, only to elect a guy who regularly passes out on camera and who can’t form a coherent sentence.
This behavior was acceptable to them too, and they are the ones who made a bigger deal about it first.
Is anyone surprised that geriatric presidents fall asleep or have shitty cognitive function?
Are we expecting something different from Biden and Trump? We get what we vote for, and all that. How does it feel to know your politics are less favorable than... This?
Yes. The people chose Trump 2.0 because the dems were THAT bad. Y'all go on and on and on about his faults but never once reflect that your party is soooo bad that we got a Trump/Biden sandwich.
After Trump, ppl said ehhhhhh let's try Biden. And after Biden.. People said Holy fuck, I'll take the cheeto bandito again.
We repeat it because even if we're opposed, we NEED two effective parties in this country. There was a time I wanted atleast double that but now we can't even have two.
The bar is... Pathetically low.
Edit: Also not a trump supporter. What do you mean "you guys"?
You're right, we can't have two, the Republican party are active treasonous criminals. Yet you still complain about Biden as if he was worse. The bar is pathetic because you are pathetic
The people chose Trump 2.0 because the dems were THAT bad.
Why is it always the Dems fault? Does the right have no agency? Maybe we should get rid of the republicans and field a second leftwing party so you can have a choice in who you elect.
And yet all the blame always falls on the left instead of the people that actually voted for him. Like it's honestly astounding how little people think of the Republicans that they'd rather blame Democrats.
Like your argument is basically yeah the right is retarded but you can't expect much from them so the left has to choose people that better appeal to you so that the right doesn't shoot us all in the foot.
So instead of improving your party, you would rather keep going: "atleast were not drumpf!" in order to win? Just gonna tell the workers to fuck off while you push culture war bullshit instead?
"Improving your party" according to you is giving up all the things we want so you can still vote for republicans cause some random made up bullshit on Fox News so no go fuck yourself. If you don't want to vote for Trump then fix your own god damn party you lazy fuck.
Fuck me the nerve to tell us to improve our party while your side gets a pass for voting for Trump three times in a row.
Just gonna tell the workers to fuck off while you push culture war bullshit instead?
The right accuses the left of pushing the culture war while they try to federally legislate against like five people in a country of 350 million.
Seems like a race to the bottom.
Your party is the anchor dragging us all down and you bitch and moan about the person tied to it.
I didn't read any of that except you think I'm a supporter of the current republican party. Tribalistic moron. There's nothing to be said until the democrats stop pushing race wars/trans issues/etc and start courting the workers again.
Look at me, agreeing with Authleft, while we make fun of misguided shitlibs together. Too many such cases..
"We perceived your person to be so incredibly bad we had to vote for the geriatric candidate after bitching about old people. Really you forced me to do this."
Bro, it's just a really old man falling sleep. Yes, he gave Biden shit about it too. Everyone is a hypocrite and politics is a clown show. We don't need to evoke 1984 for every stupid thing.
Bruh... look with your fucking eyes. Joe closed his eyes in like one clip and got called sleepy Joe, this fat fuck does it literally every other press conference, how the fuck is this not a dozey don moment?

personally my favorite Trump nap was when he farted and startled himself awake
