Donald Trump reportedly doesn’t respond to notes from his lawyer and falls asleep during his criminal trial.
Maggie Haberman told Jake Tapper on CNN:
Well, Jake, it looked like he was sleeping and his head fell down repeatedly. There have been other times in other trials, like the E. Jean Carroll trial, which was around the corner in January, where he seemed very still and it looked like he was sleeping, but this time he would move. He didn’t pay attention to a note passed to him by his lawyer Todd Blanche. His jaw dropped to his chest and his mouth hung slack. You know, sometimes people fall asleep during court proceedings, but that’s remarkable considering the intensity of this morning.

The ex-president’s freedom is at stake, and he can’t keep his eyes open. As the American people saw this weekend when he tried to campaign in Pennsylvania, there appears to be something seriously wrong with Donald Trump.
And unlike Trump, voters need to wake up to this GOP scam.
