President Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 memorial ceremony.

The president dozed off at multiple points during the event Friday, slumped over in his chair with his eyes closed and his head hanging down while everyone else onstage—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Melania Trump, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—was clearly awake.

Reminder that like 90% of his election campaign was telling everyone that sleepy people are unfit for office.

Conservatives love hypocrisy because it's a demonstration of the social hierarchy they're all obsessed with (it's not a problem when he does it because he is Donald Trump)

[-] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

It wasn’t just him. Every media outlet hounded Biden about his age, and now they ignore Trump’s decline. It’s my best evidence of the media being captured and controlled by this authoritarian oligarchy.

I don’t care if he falls asleep. I just get disappointed that he wakes up.

Clearly AI, but Biden totally would hold the phone like that for a selfie 😂

Three dicks are a bridge too far, I'm afraid.

Wow! This is the second shittiest thing he's done on 9/11!

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

What was the other thing? Being alive on 9/11?

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 weeks ago

Calling in to a radio station on the day of the attacks to brag that he now had the tallest building in NY.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

Oooh I had heard of this, but didn't realize it was on 9/11. Not that it makes it ok, but I thought it was much later. He's such a shit human.

Nope. Everyone is waiting to see what happens when Congress resumes on Monday.

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

He instantly falls down another set of stairs and explodes. Like in cartoons.

[-] fake@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 weeks ago

He's got that stroke face going again

[-] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Let's put him in the coffin already...

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Make it like an Iron Maiden, just to be sure.....

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Right? They had the perfect opportunity. They could have him declared dead, and buried before he wakes up.

When the focus is not on him re resorts to his true sloth like form.

They name the names like it's admirable the rest stayed awake, but I think they are all just bracing for the inevitable cropdusting. Dude likes to shit while he sleeps, going by the videos I've seen. Note how there is no one behind him, and his wife is seated far enough away to allow plenty of airflow between them.

Also note the unevenness in his face: the right side of his mouth (his right; to the left in the pic, last one in the article) is markedly different from the left, even when he appears to be facing the camera directly, and that entire side of his face is somewhat slumped compared to the other. Seems to be getting worse these days.

Just fucking die already

[-] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 15 points 3 weeks ago

Dozy Don at it again.

[-] dregan@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

He's just resting his eyes..... and his brain.

[-] UsefulInfoPlz@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

The latter is a permanent state.

Sleepy donald trump,

Little marco rubio,

He lies for daddy

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

I pray for the day it’s one of those forever naps.

[-] SpikedIguana@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

I missed the word asleep at first :(

Stunning and brave 🫡

Honestly though it’s way less damaging to my calm since I’ve just started leaning into the absurdism of it all

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Kinda satisfying knowing trump spends so much of his time doing things he hates doing.
