It’s being called “the nap seen around the world,” even though the vast majority of us didn’t actually see it.
Reports began trickling out Monday morning from a Manhattan courthouse where the first day of a historic criminal trial began with failed former president Donald Trump as the defendant, accused of paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep an extramarital affair secret so as not to interfere with Trump’s 2016 bid for the White House.
Among the first who caught the disgraced ex-president nodding off was Maggie Haberman of the New York Times.
“Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack,” Haberman wrote.
Minutes later, she added, “Trump has apparently jolted back awake, noticing the notes his lawyer passed him several minutes ago.”
Photos taken before the judge entered the courtroom also showed a puffy-eyed Trump, seemingly lost in his own world.
As you can see from the hashtag, a new phrase began trending on social media, #SleepyDonald. And that set off a wave of mockery and trolling that reverberated for hours.
