His ‘Sleepy Joe’ nickname for his rival seems to have come full circle, with social media users now calling Mr Trump ‘Sleepy Don’
While the rest of the world can’t peel their eyes away as Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial 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 the 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 – and at one point may have even fallen asleep.
“Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack,” *New York Times *reporter Maggie Haberman reported.
The observation quickly inspired a new nickname for the 77-year-old former president: “Sleepy Don.”
Nearly everyone on both sides can’t get beyond the simple instruction of “I have to hate one with all my might, and I have to love one with all my might” anything more complex than this just melts their brains. Anyone who points out this obvious fact is seen as an absolute trader equally by both sides.
Nuance has taken a distant 2nd place to black-and-white thinking. It used to be that the blue team was less fanatic than the red team, they’ve become indistinguishable in this regard, and we are getting to the point where nearly everyone doesn’t even realise that it wasn’t always this way. It is just that the red team got converted to mindlessness a few years before the blue team did.
Can you point to a single example of this sentiment? I keep hearing this claim and have never seen or heard this argument from literally anyone advocating on Biden’s behalf. I don’t understand why you guys think we have this unbending loyalty to Biden like Trump voters do. There’s zero evidence of that.
I feel like it’s in nearly every thread on here when Trump or Biden gets mentioned. I guess it’s just easier to see when you’re not head-over-heels for one of them.
Other than this one that we are currently in, just off the top of my head:

I’m sure that if you keep an eye out for it, you’ll start to see it. That is, if you can quiet the voice in your head that keeps telling you how awful it is if you question Biden’s brilliance. Seriously, it’s not a religion, it’s OK if you doubt a little bit every now and then.
Again, no one is head over heels for Biden. I have not seen a single serious comment here that says you can’t or shouldn’t criticize Biden. When has someone told you that you can’t criticize him? You keep making this claim that Biden has some kind of cult following like we see with Trump but provide absolutely no evidence to back it up. Seems like you’re projecting or trying to Both Sides everything. That’s all.
