Funny how the rules keep changing

🎀 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 179s

"It was a damn terrible day. But then Donald Trump fell asleep again and he didn't fall asleep while Marco Rubio was talking during a cabinet meeting. He fell asleep while the Turkish president Erdogan was speaking. If Biden so much as blinked during an event, Republicans said that he was asleep. If Biden looked down for a second, they said he has no idea what's going on and he's non compos mentis. If Biden seemed tired during or after an international trip, it was breaking news for days. Donald Trump is now in the middle of another one of these viral clips falling asleep right during his meeting with fellow authoritarian Turkish president Erdogan. Take a look at this Trump leaning desperate to try to stay awake. He should wear those glasses that have eyeballs on the outside. That would help. There he goes. Trying to pop his eye open, realizing that the interpreter is speaking to him, but he just can barely do it. I think you get the picture. It is not normal to fall asleep and to struggle to stay awake so regularly in the seated position, particularly in moments of relative relative adrenaline in the sense that these are on camera meetings, lights, microphones, high stakes, world leaders. It's not normal. And there have been people who have talked about sleep apnea. I know a couple of doctors who are like, listen, you can tell Trump has sleep apnea when you just consider his age and weight, the daytime sleepiness, the breathing noises that he makes when he breathe. Like he just, it's the full picture of sleep apnea. They haven't told us Trump has sleep apnea, but a bunch of doctor friends are like, he obviously has it. His head is tilted downward. He's not visibly engaging with the speech. Here's a sort of more zoomed in clip of it. It is. You can tell he I love it when he just opens his left eye. He's like, am I supposed to be asleep right now? He's trying to pay attention to the interpreter of for what President Erdogan is saying, but he can't do it. And of course, this immediately spreads online. This clip should be dominating conservative media for the next week. The president can't stay awake."
