His āSleepy Joeā nickname for his rival seems to have come full circle, with social media users now calling Mr Trump āSleepy Donā
While the rest of the world canāt peel their eyes away asĀ Donald TrumpāsĀ historic criminal trialĀ gets under way in New York, the former president himself appears to be far less enthralled by the proceedings.
Jury selection got under way on Monday in theĀ first-ever criminal trial of a sitting or former president, as he faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a bid to cover up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
But, according to some courtroom reporters, Mr Trump appeared to struggle to keep his eyes open ā and at one point may have even fallen asleep.
āTrump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack,āĀ *New York TimesĀ *reporterĀ Maggie HabermanĀ reported.
The observation quickly inspired a new nickname for the 77-year-old former president: āSleepy Don.ā
Not necessarily, you can post citations for what underlying lines of evidence support that the prediction will be accurate. Thatās what you do when trying to prove a hypothesis scientifically.
Now if a prediction = pulling stuff out of your ass you wish was true, thatās more likely that thereās no underlying evidence.
Iām sure the commentor they were responding to would have totally accepted past examples of charismatic presidents who got votes as valid citations. Lol.
That would be a great comparison if it were even tenuously related to todayās media environment, Trumpās charisma to his base, and hyper-polarization.
