That's not trolling. Bro was actually asleep.

Yes I was going to say that's not accusing that's just pointing out.

Journalists using soft language when discussing blatant reality bugs the shit out of me.

In a video shared by the congresswoman, Trump appeared to be shutting his eyes for a period of time while sitting in his seat at the game.

Just say he was sleeping. I get they do it to avoid libel lawsuits. But fuck it. It's USA Today. Make him sue you and take you to court.

Poor guy was up all night "Truthing".

During the game, the president was loudly booed when shown on screen, although Trump claimed that it was "mostly cheers" after the match.

Your President, America. Don't believe your eyes or ears, only his word is reality...

Poor guy was all tuckered out after Mayor Mamdani repealed his bedtime.

He’s so against being woke, he has to sleep all the time.

It’s interesting that his rape fantasy child is always in chomo Caligula’s photos now.

Holy shit. Who cares? Americans are immature as fuck.

Who cares that the guy who spent years calling his opponent “Sleepy Joe” fell asleep during an exciting basketball game?

Well, unfortunately not his base. They’ll just pretend they never criticized Biden for being a sleepy old man.

The president ruined a basketball game with his presence and took a nap during it while there's a goddamn war going on that he is directly involved with. People are right to care that the president is wasting time like this instead of doing his job. This was an attempt to siphon the glory of a major cultural event, so it's important to fight back against that and ensure it fails. If it won't pressure him to do his job, it will at least depress his approval ratings.
