The fact that Trump regularly fell asleep in court was pointed out by the Biden campaign, which pointed out that the ex-president is weak and tired.

Trump’s freedom is at stake and he cannot stay awake in court. For months, the media was obsessed with Joe Biden’s age, but now the headlines every day are filled with stories about Donald Trump slumbering during his trial.
Each nap becomes more and more devastating to Trump’s image. The nation sees Trump not as a powerful strongman who can solve the nation’s problems, but as an old man who keeps complaining about the cold and falling asleep.
Trump will try to repair his image by campaigning this weekend, but the damage is significant.
The Biden campaign smartly avoids talking about the details of the process, instead focusing on Trump’s behavior and how he is destroying his self-created mythology.
Trump looked weak, tired and old. Most importantly, he looked nothing like someone physically capable of being president for the next four years.
