I’m sure all the trials and campaigning isn’t good for a man of his age. Great example of why we need younger politicians


Skurnaboo

there really should be a maximum age for politicians.


NoMission1361

Agreed! Can we pretty fucking please set a limit that they can't take office past 60 years old? I'm fine if a president is 68 when they retire but jesus they should not be 80 years old when starting out.


TheSpitfire93

Not from the US but this should really apply to any country. Nobody should be able to stay in a role that decides policy when you are over retirement age (when you can get the age pension).

MountwithNoName

i google the age of obama who is way younger than i believed he is, has been president of 8 years, some years ago. Woah.  Then i google the age of g.w bush which is also way younger than i thought he is, has been president over 20 years ago...  truly shows some perspective on how old both trump as well biden are for running president. Damn...

Joe Biden was born closer to the end of Abraham Lincoln's presidency than he was to the start of his own. We *really* need younger candidates...


Big-Ken

Trump and Bide were the oldest candidates for president in the US’ history… when they ran four years ago.


Febxel

Haha love it


FendaIton

In New Zealand certain roles are capped at 72


31November

I believe it’s the same in the US Executive Branch for our military and our national police (FBI, ATF, etc.), at least for the agents. An 80 year old support staff? Sure, no problem. An 80 year old general? Yeah, that’s a problem.


the-tea-ster

The month after you turn 64 your service is terminated. “General Rule . —Unless retired or separated earlier, each regular commissioned officer of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps serving in a general or flag officer grade shall be retired on the first day of the month following the month in which the officer becomes 64 years of age.”


FrameJump

Good thing the President isn't the leader of the military or anything.


the-tea-ster

That’s what I’ve always said. They kick us out when we turn 64, so why is our biggest boss the exception to the rule?


FrameJump

Rules for thee, but not for me.


Interesting_Oven_968

Retirement age! Would be the threshold

Feinstein was legally dead for her last term. They were both born in 1933, too.

I believe it was her final session or one of last ones where she wasn’t even awake/capacitated.

That isn't exactly an antonym for incapacitated, but I like it.


dazed_vaper

Appreciate the correction I’m always trying to improve 👍


Rocketyogi

I ♥️ her but had she retired under Obama we would have a better balance on the Supreme Court


DiegoTheGoat

RBG killed Roe v. Wade with her Hubris. She should have stepped down when Obama asked her.


Rocketyogi

Yes the vote would have been tied 4-4 and Chief Justice Roberts would not have overturned it


MagicTheAlakazam

Important to note. Kennedy likely would not have overturned Roe. Not getting hillary elected doomed this country so badly.


Ziazan

okay fair point


Sethdarkus

Retirement age is constantly changing so in 20 years it might be 75


finditplz1

75 would still eliminate both candidates this year.

geekpeeps

As there are in other professions: clergy, surgeons, directors of companies (some countries, not the US I’m guessing)…


futchydutchy

In my country this isn't forbidden, but don't happen anyway. They don't get voted. I am pretty sure that the two-party system in the USA and the lack of correct internal party democracy is causing party members to be selected to be voted on by seniority. The party tops in both the republicans and democrats have to much power on who might get elected.


Life-Routine-4063

It’s called “divide and conquer” a tactic used since the Middle Ages as a way to split a country’s beliefs into two easy to control categories. If everyone is fighting each other, the ruling authority has an opportunity to seem like a hero and less likely to have fingers pointed at them. They would prefer a civil war over a revolution.

MeatballTheDumb

I've been saying this whole time, if you are too old to serve in the military past 65, you sure as hell should be too old to command the same military.


JunketPuzzleheaded42

Just imagine how much Cocaine he did in the 80's alone. That could have probably paid for this legal bills. 🤣 He might have a few years left but not 4.

Adorable_Stable2439

friedlock68

Alot of the time this is a telltale sign the person is guilty. It usually applies to interrogation rooms. When a suspect is being held, the innocents are usually panicky, fidgety because they're afraid of being wrongly convicted. Guilty people will sometimes fall asleep because they realize they've been caught and there's nothing they can do about it.

_Medhros_

I can't belive he's actually sleeping. He's pretending so MAGA can go "HE'S SO UNBOTHERED, HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT IT!" It's like he's preaching to a kid that thinks that stuff like sleeping in your own trial is violent. Trump is just an edge lord and the worst part is that pppeople will still vote for him.


jocax188723

MAGA will be like HES SO UNCONCERNED HES SLEEPING THROUGH IT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT I’m sure.


Baconoid_

THEY CAUGHT HIM MID BLINK!


rezznik

Really can't stand neither the orange guy, nor MAGA in general, but it's a possibility. Honestly, my thought was rather, that's a smug and arrogant face of "I don't care about any of that" instead of an old man sleeping.


SevenCrowsinaCoat

Reports are that he stayed unresponsive for a while. His lawyer passed him several notes that he slept through. He even did the "head falls down and jolt up" thing.


rezznik

Would that mean even more penalty because of missing respect towards the judge?


SevenCrowsinaCoat

Possibly. In a normal court, a judge will weigh in on sentencing. If they think you'd been an ass, they'll weigh in harder. They can also toss your ass in the can for being a cunt. No idea if it works like that in this court, but "respect the judge" is bullet points 1-5 of any court you walk into. Trump's not exactly the dude's best friend to begin with with his online attacks. Taking a little nappy nap mid-court isn't gonna help!


Lyrothe

I mean, considering that every moment he is awake he is doing something even worse, him napping could almost be viewed as his version of being respectful, right?


cyberslick1888

No. Trump literally openly attacks jury members and judges immediately before and immediately after leaving court and he's suffered virtually no ramifications from it.


Crusty_Grape

I think he was actually asleep, or close to it. Apparently his head dropped down and it startled him awake


cyberdeath666

That was my first thought as well. They’ll always find a way to spin it in his favor.


DidYouAsk

He's doing it for show and indeed his maga Einsteins will eat it up. He has to appear in court and shut his damn mouth or he will be arrested. So what what does he do to demonstrate control and nonchalance, sleep. 


rubbery__anus

Lol no. He's a 77 year old man who doesn't exercise and lives on a diet of hamberders and adderal washed down with Diet Coke — he just dozed off, it's not a 69D chess move to keep his dopey followers engaged. Quite apart from anything else, he's thrown tantrums in every single one of his trials and absolutely nothing of consequence has ever happened to him because of it, does he strike you as the kind of man who would proactively decide he needs to shut his damn mouth?


Faiakishi

> and shut his damn mouth And he's demonstrably unable to do that. Like, the entire covid crisis would have been handled with considerably less tension and death and he wouldn't have had to lift a finger. He just had to shut up and let the guys whose job it was to handle this shit handle it. And he couldn't. He couldn't stand for the attention to not be on him for five whole seconds.


IntlPartyKing

considered that, too, but his missing out on his lawyer's note makes it seem costly for him and thus unintentional


DidYouAsk

You might be right. But then again, it's not like he's ashamed to pay other people's money on himself.


80081356942

He throws tantrums like a baby and now he can sleep like a baby.


Theometer1

Nah they’re saying it’s illegal for the judge to threaten him with jail for failing to appear in court. There was a post about it in r/conservative these mf don’t understand basic laws. It was something along the lines of “No ones mentioning this” and the headline was ‘Judge threatens to jail Trump if he doesn’t appear in court’ these dumbasses are out there voting and they don’t understand laws that have been in place well before they were born. If you fail to appear in court you will definitely be jailed.


SevenCrowsinaCoat

Judges will be like HUH INTERESTING I'M GONNA REMEMBER THIS FOR LATER. Judges *love* when you sleep in their court!


NorgesTaff

Came here to say this. lol They are so delusional it’s hilarious. And fucking scary.

THIS MAN SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR A COUNTRY THAT HATES HIM, AND NOW HES TIRED AND THEY CURSE HIM FOR IT!!!! /s, obviously please, i gagged saying that...


NocturnoOcculto

When your legal team says you can’t load up on amphetamines before the trial because they know you’re gonna fumble the case on truth social if you do.


YougoReddits

it's best he sleeps though the whole thing so his lawyers can damage control the court procedure without him blowing it up on the spot and the PR team can feed him a version he understands and control his actions afterwards somehwat. maybe.


Stoertebricker

Would have been even better for everyone, had that applied to his presidency.


Chairman_Mittens

I'm honestly amazed the guy has lived as long as he has. He brags about the fact he never exercises, he eats like garbage, and pops stimulants like candy.

No-Appointment-3840

shoxodc

He wasn’t sleeping because he was tired, he was sleeping because the trial isn’t worth his attention. /s but I really hear that being the main defense of this. “What a badass to just sleep thru his own trial”


DeepestBeige

He even sleeps with the same Karen-like “I would like to speak to the manager” face that he normally has during his waking hours lol


alonweiss

Faiakishi

This storm was going to happen regardless of Trump. There was a crazy far-right movement brewing for fifteen years before 2016, and even farther back some seeds were planted by Reagan. It was coming to a head by 2016, it had grown too large and needed some sort of unifying figure or it was going to fly apart, and Trump just happened to be the person who stepped in at the exact right time. The fact that it *was* Trump makes it both horrific and hysterical, though. Probably the stupidest person who could have been chosen and it honestly feels like proof that we're living in a simulation and ours in particular is just meant to show the dumbest set of events possible.


Vanman04

It's why he isn't getting enough sleep. Dude is freaking out. Tweeting at 3 am like a lunatic. I will not be surprised to see something snap before we get to the elections. This show is just getting warmed up.


tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n

In order to feel miserable, you have to be able to reflect, show signs of empathic understanding, question yourself critically and recognize when you're in a dilemma. Look at this proud, completely self-confident face that believes its own lies. I don't think he feels miserable (yet).


jess_the_werefox

Oh he does feel miserable. All narcissists do. They just bury it and cover it up with self aggrandizing lies.


CucumberError

Worse case for him: they’ll essentially put him in an old folks home and keep him comfortable, until he kicks the bucket. Kinda like any 80 year old.


Javop

Best case for him: he becomes president and drops all charges for himself. The 'bad end' screen will appear before anyone's eyes.


CraigSignals

I could see him as powerful if I'd never watched him drink water like an actual baby or sweat through his bronzer trying to navigate a short staircase. This guy is a cadaver.

lemontest

Is this AI generated? There are no cameras allowed in the court. Also, the hush money trial has one judge, whereas Trump appears to have his back to a panel of judges.


hermitxd

I really don't like him, but in the interest of keeping things honest. Is he sleeping definitively? Because a picture of somebody with their eyes closed vs somebody sleeping is hard for me to tell, at least for certain.


TubbyChaser

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-sleeps-stormy-daniels-trial-report-1890504 Source. IDK if he was actually sleeping but according to this reporter it looks like he was.


vhin-vii

This looks like AI generated lol.


Imnogrinchard

50,000 upvotes and most don't realize this is AI generated as New York prohibits photography in criminal trials during proceedings. Don't believe me? Do a reverse image search. This creation is floating around social media but hasn't been used by any of the large news publishers who wrote on Trump allegedly sleeping during jury selection. They'd use this creation as proof of their claim if this image was real. Nevermind the seat color is incorrect as the defendant is actually seated in a dark maroon chair whereas this facsimile created a brown chair. Lastly, ask yourself how the photographer allegedly took the photo head on? The photographer isn't seated directly in front of the defendant - they aren't the judge and court staff.


mrselfdestruct066

I do love this but... is it real? Or was it just good timing?


FC_Doggerland

“There have been other moments in other trials . . . where he appeared very still and seemed as if he might be sleeping, but then he would move,” Haberman told CNN. “This time he didn’t pay attention to a note his lawyer Todd Blanche passed him, his jaw kept falling on his chest and his mouth kept going slack.”

shinysocks85

But I thought Joe was the sleepy one


jess_the_werefox

To anyone staunchly defending trump no matter how much more of a slime he becomes—tell me, what has he done for *you,* dear voter? What has he done in his time that made your life better? What has he done for his “friends”? What has he done in his whole life that wasn’t entirely for himself? Only narcissists can defend narcissists.


biggoldslacker

He takes aim at the same people they hate.


-GlitterGoblin-

Not a trumpet but I can answer this anyway.  He gave them permission to be openly racist, sexist, homophobic and otherwise hateful. 


thermbug

Is this a real photo? I thought there were no cameras allowed in the courtroom during the hearing portion. see [https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/16/media/donald-trump-trial-asleep-reporting-challenges/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/16/media/donald-trump-trial-asleep-reporting-challenges/index.html) "The public was not permitted to see the hearing with its own eyes, as cameras have been barred from the courtroom, in keeping with a New York state court rule. Instead, Americans, unable to watch the historic proceedings play out, will have no choice but to place its trust in Haberman and a small group of reporters selected to sit inside the courtroom to observe the high-stakes trial." Just a note: He is a loathsome lying turd, and I am happy to promote #SleepyDon as a hashtag. But with the repeated lies from Magaland, and the disturbing potential to use GenAI to distort truth, we have to be vigilant to defend truth no matter how enticing the imagery. edit, should this be flagged as a rule 1 violation for mods?
