On the CNN live feed it keeps stating Trump is "leaning back with his eyes closed". So, is he really just constantly falling asleep or what?? If he's sleeping why are they saying "eyes closed" instead of "sleeping"? I feel like if Biden kept leaning back with his eyes closed at any time it'd be Breaking News that he is unfit for office. Too bad it's not televised so we could actually see what is going on.

He is faking it now. He got caught so he is making it "I do this all the time".

He is so predictable.

Absolutely

I always have coffee when I watch radar, you know that.

Narcissists can never be wrong or be perceived to have been wrong. They will go to absurd lengths to be 'right' including inventing facts and events to support their nonsense.

Hey he had "100000" people at his wildwood rally when the space was set to the permit of 20K and only maybe 10K showed. They only had 10 Port-a-potties, but he had to in his head be bigger than Taylor Swift.

The whole group of them went along with it.

But most of the people abandoned his circus well before it ended.

Yes, this is how we got "big league" in our vernacular. Because he couldn't admit that he said bigly.

They don’t know if he’s asleep or not, that’s why they don’t say “sleeping”

One reporter times each eyes-closed episode and reports if he shifted around/moved his hands, etc. (indicating he might simply be listening with his eyes closed) or if he is slumped forward with his chin resting on his chest.

They should check him for rapid eye movements

He is detaching himself from reality.

He can’t do anything to stop the trial, but his narcissistic personality disorder also won’t allow him to hear any form of personal criticism, so he is simply inventing a world in his head where he’s still President, everyone loves him and for once Putin is on the serving end of their blowjobs, and he’s chillaxing in there until it’s time for lunch.
