To be fair to trump, I don't really care or think it's a big deal that he fell asleep in court.
He is really active/busy, stressed out, old, unhealthy, has a **** ton of stuff going on in his life and probably doesn't sleep much and listening to lawyers is pretty boring.
Makes sense he would fall asleep. I don't even think it's something to criticize him for.

Yeah, warm rooms in the afternoon can make anyone sleepy, I understand that. This is why I tended to be less sympathetic-minded in this instance:
Former president Donald Trump has long cast President Biden as “Sleepy Joe,” accusing him of being too old and weak to do the job. Now Biden’s campaign sees an opportunity to turn the tables.
The campaign has increasingly put a spotlight on reports that Trump has appeared to doze off during his hush-money trial in New York, which started this week.
A feeble and tired Donald Trump once again falls asleep in court,” the campaign
said Friday on X, responding to a
New York Times live blog entry saying Trump “appears to have fallen asleep in court again.”
Later Friday, Biden’s campaign labeled Trump “Sleepy Don” in a news release saying he had a “nightmare week” that included getting “some shut-eye.”
The digs are notable because Biden’s campaign and the White House have otherwise avoided commenting on the trial itself. Trump has argued that the case is an attempt to interfere with the 2024 election, claiming without evidence that Biden has orchestrated it in the run-up to their November rematch.
Trump’s campaign fired back at the Biden campaign Friday, calling the Times report “fake news from a reporter who wasn’t even in the courtroom.”
“Contrast that with Biden falling asleep constantly at meetings, and tripping and busting his *** while falling down numerous times,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.
