Trump, 79, Falls Asleep After Bragging That He’s Solved Health Care

Our nearly 80-year-old president appears to have nodded off during a meeting, for the umpteenth time.

President Trump’s eyes grew visibly heavy around the halfway point of his televised announcement of a deal with drug company Regeneron on Thursday afternoon, closing fully and reopening multiple times while suited Cabinet members and pharmaceutical executives stood behind him in the Oval Office.

This is the same man who keeps calling former President Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe.”

Everything is projection with the GQP and their child rapist king.

Next week, he'll be angry about liberals shitting in his pants whilst he was "closing his eyes to focus"...

This is the AI-edited version of this image, btw. The real one doesn't have his head as tilted and the dude behind him isn't looking down like that lady that had to check if he pooped his diaper. So dude is looking down in both versions, but for some reason the unedited one looks more like he's reading the paper on the desk.

Not sure why an AI version of this image is being pushed around when the real one is bad enough. I want to say "psyop" in order to help discredit what actually happened, but at his point (shrug emoji)

(To be clear, I am not accusing OP of intentionally pushing a falsified image; just noting that it's making the rounds)

Yeah and this the third distinct post of the altered image. Can we get the real one in here?

If he wasn't such a piece of garbage more people would care that he's in an elder abuse situation.

Noddin' Don..

Are we surprised that the fossil can't stay awake during business hours as his dementia-driven sleep interruptions keep him up all night?

brem@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 113d

If karma truly existed; it would be this fool lying awake at night: tormented for his wrongs & hate ~ not the rest of the conscious world that tried to prevent this.

osanna@lemmy.vg · 5 pts · 112d

does solving healthcare involve jacking up the prices? probably. it's scammy dumpy after all.

drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 113d

If he dies in office there will be a coordinated effort to use him as a martyr and point to their perceived enemies as the culprits.

Red_October@piefed.world · 3 pts · 113d

Just a nap? Damn. Maybe next time.

a deal with drug company Regeneron

Ah, so that's "solving healthcare". Thing is, I recognize that rhetoric from my own countries, but around here they'd happily lie that they're "taking large, important steps towards solving healthcare". Not the Don: he speaks in superlatives only.

(There's no further jab at his alround disgustingness - that's a given - just some comparative thoughts)

Yet another bipartisan thing that should never have been a thing: the notion that as long as your guy wins, it doesn't matter if they can actually function.
