    This article won’t be read by any of his supporters and if they do happen to see it, it will be dismissed as fake news

        Fox News is already framing it that way.

        Not in the slightest. I think many people missed the very common “Oh no anyway” meme format:

          No, we got the reference.

          Having Trump be the one in the meme makes it about Trump dismissing the thing and that sounds like Trump support in the context of this article.

    You would think that this trial would hold his interest

    • it’s about himself
    • his name is mentioned repeatedly
    • gives him an excuse to play victim

      I actually don’t blame him on the falling asleep stuff. Look at the facts: he’s old as shit, he’s overweight, he’s going senile, and he probably has a myriad of health problems which are undisclosed and is probably on a complex cocktail of drugs to ease them. He’s a fucking walking corpse and should have never held the office that he did

    “When there are sidebars, an attorney doesn’t leave his side anymore because leaving him alone means leaving him to potentially sleep,” Rubin said. “He has a stack of papers with him at all times now to go through.”

    “We tried everything! Jangling keys above his head, coloring books and crayons featuring his favorite MAGA hero (himself), its just too difficult to try to keep him focused.” -Rubin probably

      I’d like to know what is in those papers. I wonder if they are just complementary news stories about him. I bet the only subject that can hold his attention is himself.

        Probably just blank papers. It’s still debatable whether he can actually read.

        My guess? Stolen classified files missed during the Mar-a-lago file seizure. Would it surprise anyone if he brought incriminating evidence into court?

    Are we 100% sure he isn’t staying awake past bedtime on purpose? I don’t know if there is an argument to be made that because he didn’t hear the trial, they clearly need to hold another one … ?
