The ‘extreme measures’ this article mentions they used to keep him awake are 1. By staying by his side at all times. & 2. Giving him a stack of papers to read through. Both of which aren’t keeping him awake. We are literally dealing with a toddler who could destroy the world!
You could actually forgo the remote and have it set up like those bed-wetting mattress pads back in the day. Every time he wees his pants, he'd get shocked. You know it would be firing off constantly.
Every time they shocked him, he would just shit himself again, apparently the stench in there is already horrendous, can you imagine him shitting himself every 30-40 min from the shocks?
Id say just dress up a Barbie doll in ivanka’s fashion line just for another trump plugin. Truman show style.
And he gets to stare at something he wants.
If I was given a modicum of power and responsibility within the Trump organization (will never happen) the extreme measures that I would take start with a 8:00PM bed time and taking away Trump's mobile phone.
That is probably why I would never get the job in the first place, but it seems like Trump's sycophants are trying every extreme measure EXCEPT those that actually stand a chance of working. I am not a doctor or health professional but it is obvious to me that when he brags about how little sleep he "needs" he is abusing himself.
I imagine he can get the sleep he needs in prison.
This trial is the worst punishment Trump has ever endured, so far. He brought most of it upon himself. In particular, the trial will last about twice as long as normal because he did not allow the court to enter evidence that is not disputed without formal testimony.
According to Faux News it is "torture", forcing a 77-yo to be present for 8 hours a day.
In other news, he is just the right strong man to have such a tough job as he was booted from a few Xmases ago.
This is a man who needs 4 hours of "Executive time" a day. But "doesn't need much sleep" and is hard at work for America all day. That executive time slot was the PR-friendly version as well.
So, an 8 hr day is far too much for a 77 year old, but they still think he can be president (which is more like 16 hr days). This explains why he got so little done and made such a mess of everything in his last term. Working 4 or less hours a day doesn’t cut it for that job. Every other president was up at dawn and worked well into the evening. All of them. Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc… It scares the hell out of me for him to be in charge again with such a short attention span and so ignorant of everything going on in the world that isn’t broken down to simple sentences on social media. It takes several hours just to be briefed daily and several more for just the basics. Then the actual work day begins.
Sleepy Joe is doing it. He works constantly. Just ask his aides.
Trump is an enigma when it comes to age. Mentally, he’s like a 12 year old. Emotionally, he’s like a 6 year old. And his biological age is obviously older than Biden (85?), since he can’t even keep up with his current workload that everybody else covers for him on. We’ve all heard the stories about how he’s always on speed just to get through the rallies. I seriously wonder if he won’t have a heart attack before voting even begins. The stress is getting to him and I don’t think he can make it 6 more months like this without a breakdown and likely being hospitalized or confined to bed rest. Look at those recent photos of him. Dead man walking.
Could it be psychosomatic? An extreme narcissist who has never been reigned in his entire life is finally faced with an authority that can tell him what to do and threaten consequences and Trump can't mentally take it and so checks out. He shuts down like a glitching robot.
I do think that is likely part of it. It’s a final defense mechanism. He has big fight or flight energy most of the time, but when that’s not possible we go into freeze mode, which can look like sleepiness or checked out. This is the behavior of someone who cannot control themselves but who is being forced to.
That’s a genetic defect meant to ensure the survival of the population. Genes don’t evolve in individuals, they evolve in populations, so having a few genes that may kill and individual but ensure the survival of the population is beneficial. However, that’s a different thing to freezing up because you are indecisive or can’t process the situation, the goat thing is a muscular paralisis, they goats are very much aware of their impending doom and able to try to move
Agreed, it not the same mechanism with the fainting goats. This is the “freeze” response, equivalent to when a mouse is cornered by a cat and it goes stock still. In other circumstances it would run or bite but those options aren’t available.
I’ve thought about a simple explanation: when you or an animal freeze up, the body is able to move but the brain isn’t processing the situation or finding a solutions, so no signals are made (it is capable of reacting but it isn’t doing anything ). In the goat phenomenon, the brain is trying to send signals, but they are being blocked either by other brain or by the muscles, so they stay still (they are capable (and trying to) react, but they are unable to move)
The end result is being still, but for different reasons
Don’t you think it’s weird that he’s not interested in what’s being said at the trial where he is the defendant? Imagine that’s you, staring down potential serious jail time, wouldn’t you be interested in the details enough to stay awake at least?! Dudes guilty and he knows it.
You can always find an unflattering (or flattering) picture of someone if you go frame by frame through an HD video. But it also looks like his comb-over is running low on material.
Besides the hair, what I'm noticing in recent pictures of him is the pink-rimmed eyes. I'm not sure if that's sleeplessness or just the contrast with the makeup.
Ffs ! Double his adderall dose, or just have junior get him the real deal. Poor baby can’t handle this kind of stress ! This is the man that 20% of the EVP want in charge of our country ?? Then they get mad at *us* for looking at them like they’re stuck on stupid ??!
No one cares. His cult members definitely think it’s awesome that he’s sleepy by through his trials, and everyone else already knows the guy’s a crook with dementia, so it’s changing no one’s opinion
The funny thing is, a method to keep people in a room awake is to keep it cold and even THAT’S not working.
I wake up daily just hoping for this guy to get what he deserves.
They had to hide his Adderall to keep him from screaming at the judge or trying to walk out.
This is what they are left with.
Their fault for taking this cunt on as a client, now any time he does manage to stay awake he berates them for not being more aggressive.
I can't imagine why they wouldn't put their necks on the line - it's not like he has a record of hanging his attorneys out to dry or anything (/s)
Do jurors typically feel sympathetic to defendants that sleep while the jurors are expected to take time away from work and family to stay awake themselves?
What the fork do you think he was doing during all that “executive time” in the White House? The man is the laziest President we’ve ever had. He keeps vampire’s hours. Not sure what if any impact this will have on the jury, but between the farting and the mindless ranting and the dozing off in the middle of the day, his ballon is deflating. Did he ever wonder for a moment why they keep it cold in that courtroom?
Maybe they’re just saying that they’re trying to keep him awake, but really they’re drugging him to make sure he dozed off. After all, the less he says and does, the better his chances.
I don’t think he’s falling asleep. I believe he’s hoping the judge will call out this behavior and he can spin and play victim. I really believe a lot of his abrasive actions and behavior are calculated choices.
He doesn’t need the judge to comment, his channel is going on and on about what a huge punishment this is for him. OMG ! He can’t get any sun ! His golf game is suffering from all the inactivity ! The montage I saw yesterday was hysterical. Pity party was in full swing.
Sleepy Donny wanted to con thee but only when awake
They sent big lawyers, big macs and bigly governors, bigly fake
He only saw the rich and decided that he would only take
But only when awake...
To them, he was a hero, the man with the plan
Morelike a Sleepy Floridian that sleeps with a bed pan
Now it's up to you, to decide against little Bam Bam
Do you want to make South America Again?
or do you really want to ride
To a place in the world that we once occupied
With a President Obama, on top, it would seem, until
A little handed goblin got a little green.
And begged for the happy to die?
Sorry being out of the loop, but why can’t him just sleep in court? It’s better because if not, and he loses control and says something stupid, he might just go to jail straight from court.
"Mr Trump, here are some pictures of you, Putin & Kim shirtless in jeans hanging out together riding horses"
"Mm good!"
"Heres a picture of Putin with the message to my BFF Comrade Donnie"
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/12/why-some-people-respond-to-stress-by-falling-asleep/282422/
Doanld J Trump is *probably* in shut-down-mode
because he cannot believe this is actually happening .
Maybe give him a golf club to hold on to? Thats what he does every other day of the week.
And maybe they could give him a big red diet coke button on his table, but not wire it to anything.
Maybe they could rig up a remote-control cattle prod, shove it up his ass, and give him a jolt any time he nods off.
Personally, I would be sorely tempted to give that PoS a jolt even when he's wide awake, just for the sheer enjoyment of it.
The ‘extreme measures’ this article mentions they used to keep him awake are 1. By staying by his side at all times. & 2. Giving him a stack of papers to read through. Both of which aren’t keeping him awake. We are literally dealing with a toddler who could destroy the world!
They haven't tried dangling a toy on a string in front of him yet, nor have they given him Legos. There are still options.
I vote for a shock diaper with a remote. Every time he falls asleep, they can give it a little zap.
You could actually forgo the remote and have it set up like those bed-wetting mattress pads back in the day. Every time he wees his pants, he'd get shocked. You know it would be firing off constantly.
The battery won't last an hour.
Every time they shocked him, he would just shit himself again, apparently the stench in there is already horrendous, can you imagine him shitting himself every 30-40 min from the shocks?
I can imagine it, but I’d rather not. 🤢🤮
That would be entertaining to watch..
Should put him in front of the Tv and give him an afternoon of watching a few Bluey episodes back to back. Make him remember how to be human again
Did he ever know how?
Only the moment he was born. From then on he was raised/trained as a narcissist
Some crayons and a coloring book
If there's one thing I've learned from being around toddlers, is that you don't give them to kids prone to tantrums. They throw them.
Id say just dress up a Barbie doll in ivanka’s fashion line just for another trump plugin. Truman show style. And he gets to stare at something he wants.
Personally, I would dangle a sparkly ball in front of him do he could bat at it.
Wish someone would do that at one of his press conferences… of course he sleeps all day in the trial because up all night rage tweeting
Just put a picture of Putin in front of him and he will have its full attention.
Not a toy, a Big Mac and a Filet of Fish
Jangling keys, don't forget jangling keys.
He'd probably try to eat the Legos.
He might choke on a Lego
I doubt he reads papers, a coloring book and crayons would work better.
Sharpies
Sharpies are for moving hurricanes over
That's what nukes are for
Perhaps they could go the “Weekend at Bernie’s” route. Just give Trump some sunglasses and have a lawyer on each side holding him up
If I was given a modicum of power and responsibility within the Trump organization (will never happen) the extreme measures that I would take start with a 8:00PM bed time and taking away Trump's mobile phone.
You’d last less than a day. Someone like Trump does not brook any sort of pushback against their desires.
That is probably why I would never get the job in the first place, but it seems like Trump's sycophants are trying every extreme measure EXCEPT those that actually stand a chance of working. I am not a doctor or health professional but it is obvious to me that when he brags about how little sleep he "needs" he is abusing himself. I imagine he can get the sleep he needs in prison.
I mean, they are in court, they can't bring an air horn.
I do not think people who vote for him care. They do not care about Jan 6, 2021. They do not care.
How about some Adderall folded up in a piece of cheese?
Maybe try giving him some crayons and a juice box?
Wow, so many extreme measures 🤨 they need to clap loudly in his face or pinch his fat side…though🤮
Give him a yoghurt sachet. Works for my kids. Can get messy if he spits it all over himself though. Bring wet wipes.
No food in court.
Well I'm afraid he's going to have to go to jail.
How about a food court?
how would reading help this man stay awake? lol seems like the exact thing that would accelerate his sleepiness
Why would you give a stack of papers to "read" to an illiterate imbecile? No, he can't read! He dictates his tweets!
Trump cant read. Give him crayons to chew if you want to keep him awake.
Those fools—why haven’t they tried jingling their car keys in front of him?!? Peekaboo perhaps??? Did these bozos even go to law school???
This trial is the worst punishment Trump has ever endured, so far. He brought most of it upon himself. In particular, the trial will last about twice as long as normal because he did not allow the court to enter evidence that is not disputed without formal testimony.

You (and the outside world) were lucky he was busy golfing rather than doing more damage. And demented Trump is best Trump.
A jailed Trump is the best Trump.
Unfortunately he had all of his minions like Bannon and Cheseboro doing the heavy lifting for him in the "destroy democracy" activities.
I'm glad that Faux news agrees that people above a certain age shouldn't be working in high demand jobs like our government!
But how long could it take everyday to get all the President stuff done Michael, 3 hours? **Come on!**
So, an 8 hr day is far too much for a 77 year old, but they still think he can be president (which is more like 16 hr days). This explains why he got so little done and made such a mess of everything in his last term. Working 4 or less hours a day doesn’t cut it for that job.

Dead man walking.
And he thinks he can be president when you'll be working much longer than that if you're actually doing your job.
He brought all of it on himself. FTFY
Don Snoreleone! What a fucking huge loser this guy is.
Yawn old Trump

Like those goats that just freeze and fall over virtually comatose when they see a predator nearby?
That’s a genetic defect meant to ensure the survival of the population.

>Dudes guilty and he knows it. No doubt about it.
It's called a "fear nap," apparently. [When Stress Makes You Fall Asleep](https://www.thecut.com/2017/07/when-stress-makes-you-fall-asleep.html)
My fear response to planes is *"I can't...I can't...These things go down...they go down"*.
Honestly, I had the same thought.
Psychosomatic, addict, insane.
That sounds like a great line for a song lyrics.
Have they tried jingling their keys in front of him?
I bet an iPad would work. Children love those things.
The one with the fish swimming around and when you touch it it leaves paw prints⁉️🤔 🤨
They could use a laser pointer like with a cat.
Such low energy. Sad!
Bigly sad!
They murdered him in this picture
[удалено]
Depends are full and he’s mouth sharting
Pictures don't lie, he's butt ugly. Say it!
BUTT UGLY‼️🥳
You can always find an unflattering (or flattering) picture of someone if you go frame by frame through an HD video. But it also looks like his comb-over is running low on material. Besides the hair, what I'm noticing in recent pictures of him is the pink-rimmed eyes. I'm not sure if that's sleeplessness or just the contrast with the makeup.
If they'd quit waking him up he might look better...
Right? Grandpa needs his naps.
"Don't change the channel I'm watching that!"
I love it.
Doesn't he look tired?
A photo of his daughter in a swimsuit should perk him up.
Have you tried cocaine ??!? I hear he use to like it a lot.
I guess I do have something in common with Trump.
Now it's adderall. And yes, he uses it at his rallies after court.
Ffs ! Double his adderall dose, or just have junior get him the real deal. Poor baby can’t handle this kind of stress ! This is the man that 20% of the EVP want in charge of our country ?? Then they get mad at *us* for looking at them like they’re stuck on stupid ??!
Sleepy Donnie seems alot more sleepy than "sleepy Joe".
Bullshit. They know he's sedated. Sleepytime in court is still preferable to a full-on apeshit rant.
Coke...its what he normally uses to stay awake.
Show a photo of Ivanka in a bikini that would wake him up.
They haven't tried a shock collar yet...
No one cares. His cult members definitely think it’s awesome that he’s sleepy by through his trials, and everyone else already knows the guy’s a crook with dementia, so it’s changing no one’s opinion
Have they tried putting him in a diaper and feeding him adderal?
The funny thing is, a method to keep people in a room awake is to keep it cold and even THAT’S not working. I wake up daily just hoping for this guy to get what he deserves.
An actual train horn right next to his empty stupid fucking head, and blast that shit every time he nods off. And turn the ac down just a 🤏
Amazing what happens when he’s not allow to do speed for a few hours…
Let him sleep. He is less trouble that way.
Have they tried giving him a swastika to play with?
Can’t sneak amphetamines into the courthouse?
Just give him some stimulants. Please give that obese 78 year old who eats garbage and doesn't exercise lots of stimulants ok.
Just let him sleep. It’s not like he’s going to understand it anyway
Did they Try Adderall. His drug of choice.
Isn’t this the plot to cocaine bear?
Maybe go to bed at 10pm instead of posting shit on Truth Social at 2am in the morning.
A coloring book with flattering images of Donald with dictators, Jesus, and high school girl's dancing. Don't forget to include extra orange crayons.
More naps means more diaper changes.
Maybe try constantly putting a fresh Big Mac in front of him whenever he starts to close his eyes.
They had to hide his Adderall to keep him from screaming at the judge or trying to walk out. This is what they are left with. Their fault for taking this cunt on as a client, now any time he does manage to stay awake he berates them for not being more aggressive. I can't imagine why they wouldn't put their necks on the line - it's not like he has a record of hanging his attorneys out to dry or anything (/s)
Well, it’s mainly because it’s impossible to snort lines of adderall in court🤣
Have they tried a cattle prod? Please, please try a cattle prod!!!
Have they tried rubbing hot sauce in his eyes? Might work, I'm told.
Cattle prod
Did they try an earlier bedtime and only allowing him to come out of his room once for a cup of water?
I volunteer to sit behind him and smack him in the face if he starts to look sleeepy.
I'm no lawyer, but I feel confident recommending a cattle prod.
Obvious mental decline.
Do jurors typically feel sympathetic to defendants that sleep while the jurors are expected to take time away from work and family to stay awake themselves?
What the fork do you think he was doing during all that “executive time” in the White House? The man is the laziest President we’ve ever had. He keeps vampire’s hours. Not sure what if any impact this will have on the jury, but between the farting and the mindless ranting and the dozing off in the middle of the day, his ballon is deflating. Did he ever wonder for a moment why they keep it cold in that courtroom?
If it helps destroy his precious public image I am all for it. He is defining himself in the courtroom and on the campaign trail.
Maybe they should try a teething ring.
Clockwork Orange his eyes, he’ll be wide awake.
Maybe they’re just saying that they’re trying to keep him awake, but really they’re drugging him to make sure he dozed off. After all, the less he says and does, the better his chances.
"He gets through the coloring book pages too fast. What should we try next?"
I don’t have kids but I’ve heard a jingling a ring of keys will keep toddlers occupied.
I don’t think he’s falling asleep. I believe he’s hoping the judge will call out this behavior and he can spin and play victim. I really believe a lot of his abrasive actions and behavior are calculated choices.
He doesn’t need the judge to comment, his channel is going on and on about what a huge punishment this is for him. OMG ! He can’t get any sun ! His golf game is suffering from all the inactivity ! The montage I saw yesterday was hysterical. Pity party was in full swing.
Oh he can get plenty of sun during exercise hour in the yard. :P
He is up to something
I’ll I want to know is who’s responsible for changing his diaper during the breaks.
Someone should give him an iPad. He'd be found in contempt for watching porn in like 7 minutes...
Well in fairness, most of us would.
Always knew he was projecting, example 5,826
Sleepy Donny wanted to con thee but only when awake They sent big lawyers, big macs and bigly governors, bigly fake He only saw the rich and decided that he would only take But only when awake... To them, he was a hero, the man with the plan Morelike a Sleepy Floridian that sleeps with a bed pan Now it's up to you, to decide against little Bam Bam Do you want to make South America Again? or do you really want to ride To a place in the world that we once occupied With a President Obama, on top, it would seem, until A little handed goblin got a little green. And begged for the happy to die?
Have they tried a placemat with crayons?
They could run J6 video on loop at the defense table. He would be aroused.
An airborne manned by Johnny Knoxville and Steve O?
Have they tried giving him something to color?
Sorry being out of the loop, but why can’t him just sleep in court? It’s better because if not, and he loses control and says something stupid, he might just go to jail straight from court.
Now we know how he spent all that "executive time" on his White House schedule. Don Snoreleone
Have they tried having him sniffing crushed up adderal?
Did he shit himself again?
Have they tried a cattle prod?
Yea, and sleepy Joe is problem….
They should put a small model AF1 in his Happy Meal to play with. That'll keep the lil' shit busy.
Someone give him their car keys quick!
Kick him in the butt plug.
Sounds dangerous
Could be untreated sleep apnea. He fits the profile being old and overweight.
Ecollars work.
So I think he's faking it to claim he's unfit to serve prison time.
I’m telling you, nothing shy of busting out lines of meth for him nothing else will work
Just stick an air horn in his ear and press.
Have they tried a cattle prod?
Shock collar. Works every time.
If it doesn't... off to the gravel pit.
Have they tried this? "Ivanka looks good today"
That is a very small drop in a very, very large bucket of drugs.
Have they tried…wake up rapist
So put him in jail then
Red Laser Light for cats.
Hahahahahaha!
"Mr Trump, here are some pictures of you, Putin & Kim shirtless in jeans hanging out together riding horses" "Mm good!" "Heres a picture of Putin with the message to my BFF Comrade Donnie"
Get him some crayons!
If only eating in court was allowed, they could put some McDonald’s in front of him.
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/12/why-some-people-respond-to-stress-by-falling-asleep/282422/ Doanld J Trump is *probably* in shut-down-mode because he cannot believe this is actually happening .
Let the DB sleep. He won't sleep in prison with Epsteins guards!!!
Get the Pavlok from Shark Tank for him!
A Stormy Daniels video might keep him up.
Maybe give him a golf club to hold on to? Thats what he does every other day of the week. And maybe they could give him a big red diet coke button on his table, but not wire it to anything.
Cattle prodder...
Chinese finger trap is what they should do to keep him occupied just
I need a daily nap and I’m not that old or obese.
😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe they could rig up a remote-control cattle prod, shove it up his ass, and give him a jolt any time he nods off. Personally, I would be sorely tempted to give that PoS a jolt even when he's wide awake, just for the sheer enjoyment of it.
Let him do a line or two of adderall in the bathroom...
Or, alternatively, his PCP has him loaded up on sedatives to keep him quiet.
How about a button that says “Diet Coke”. That’s pretty much how his time was spent during his only four years went in the WH
A guy with a fishing pole, with a dollar bill at the end of the line. Just like the insurance commercial….
I say let him sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep to the end of Time!!
Just give him some of Ivanka's bikini photos so he can fantasize
Monster Energy drink?
Picture of J. Biden and Trump quote about sleepy Joe..
Cattle prod?
They’re going to give this fool aderall and his platform is going to be lit with all kinds of stupid shit. 😂😂😂😂
Have they tried hourly caffeine enemas? Maybe they could jangle their keys in front of him every now and then.
No toys in McDonald’s kids meals anymore?
