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.
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.

Define “actively” - like any other leader, he mainly gets others to do stuff (while he sleeps).
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.
