I don't think the "video clip" is accurately described. Trump is heavy lidded and the lighting is overhead so it appears his eyes are closed. In the other photo where he appears to be asleep at the Pope's funeral is debatable. WHAT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED is Trump's overall incoherent speech and lawless behavior that goes unchecked. These kinds of discussions are not-on-point or ineffective in fighting the real dangers posed by this administration -- the gutting of the Federal Government, subverting Rule of Law and elimination or basic human services the American people deserve. Don't get distracted. Stay focused!

I agree with you, Karen. It’s really difficult to tell if he truly is dozing off, or if he’s just showing his rudeness and disinterest in whoever is speaking at the moment. I want to see the next claim be totally indisputable, complete with drool! Then let them try to drag Joe through the mud again!

Well, on the plus side. If the donald is asleep he can't sign any EO's or rage tweet.

You are too kind. Donald Trump has lost more than a step. He is, and continues to be living as a full blown and flaming sociopath. He checks all the boxes, including:

-Lack of empathy for others.

-Impulsive behavior.

-Attempting to control others with threats or aggression. ...

-Using intelligence, charm, or charisma to manipulate others.

-Not learning from mistakes or punishment.

-Lying for personal gain.

-Showing a tendency toward physical violence and fights.

He is a wild and dangerous human being who fancies himself a leader and most powerful man on the planet. We need to keep the pressure on by highlighting and calling out the sleeping, delusional rants, rambling speech, physical foibles, and disconnection with reality. The man is far worse than Joe Biden ever was. Democratic leaders could fight back by posting the outrageous clips on their social media accounts exactly as the Republicans did when Joe Biden was in office. Let’s fight fire with fire.

Again, personal traits are NOT CRITERIA for debate. It's Trump's PERFORMANCE AS PRESIDENT, an elected official by the citizens of the USA.

It’s certainly true that if Biden nodded off or spoke I coherently, it would be front page news. It’s obvious that republicans control the media, something we need to take

Back!!!!

Why do millions of regular people feel (emphasis on feel) supported by him? That's what we need to discover. The craziness is obvious to us, but not to them. Why is HE the answer for so many?
