Lisa Rubin: Trump appeared to be 'at rest' during trial

"Every time I looked up today—particularly during the first part of the day—Donald Trump's eyes were closed. He could have been meditating. He could have been napping. That's not for me to say other than I think he appeared to be at rest,” says MSNBC Legal Correspondent Lisa Rubin.

[maozamomb.]

After all his complaints of "Sleepy Joe" He had one job.

[dollarroll]

Not even Trump hardened supporters believes he meditates.

[donk.johnson]

He can't snort his Adderall in Court

[suzannewilliams]

Meditation is not something that Trump is capable of.

[samartman]

The biggest joke of the this century.... TRUMP COULD HAVE BEEN MEDITATING 😂😂🙏🙏🕉️🕉️

[chrisruiz]

He is sleeping because he does not care nor does he care to listen.

[gregmadison]

Remember when Donald use to call Ben Carson low energy and of course sleepy Joe. This mofo is dozing off 10 o'clock in the morning.

[sourshoes]

He’s a tweeker. Up all hours of the night plotting through the paranoia, into the morning, after the birds have begun to sing until finally…. slumber.

That’s what the diaper is for. He crashes out so hard that urine leaving his bladder and feces exiting his bowels isn’t enough to wake him.

This is the time of day we’d rarely see or hear from him.

If it weren’t for him HAVING to be present in court, the world would still believe he gets by with an hour of sleep. lol

[ghulsey]

I'm sure he's not taking his Ritalin because his lawyers would rather see him knocked out than looking like he's going to jump out of his seat. Too bad this trial can't be shown live.

[thatsme]

Drowsy Donny is losing it. As stated by a medical professional it’s just yet another symptom of dementia kicking in

[giennefarcais]

WHY are these people all bending over backwards to pretend he was doing anything but sleeping? Good grief. He's old. He's stressed out. He can't do Adderall while he's in court. There's no Diet Coke. OF COURSE HE'S SLEEPING.

[therarestphoenix]

TRUMP and MAGA can't use the nickname "Sleepy Joe" anymore 😆

[angelavenditti]

Please let him rest, at least he's shut up

[JamesTatum-hqym]

People that tell 20 lies a day don’t meditate. FACT !

[pattytheseeker]

He's losing it & he's too overwhelmed to deal with this trial. He's checking out!

[wandamorris]

He's trying to escape. He has very few alternatives. Some form of sleep appears to work for him. & he checks out for a few moments. I continue to be surprised he hasn't stroked out or had a heart attack, so great is the stress & his explosive emotions, rage.

[wasteofspace]

He should sell his used diapers to help cover his legal expenses

[cookieshivers]

Even if he were at rest (which he's not) it would be disrespectful doing that in a legal proceeding. She'd certainly make that call for anyone else.

[gailgrant]

That’s alot of sitting for a lot of hours. Even if there’s a lot at stake it’s still monotonous. But I do think Biden could now call him ‘sleepy Trump.’ 🎉

[scottymartin]

Maybe hes coming to terms with his crimes
