When Trump had the picture book that kept his attention and it shows that the only thing that would keep his attention is if someone were to sing his praises for the entire time he would be in court. Then he would stay awake to hear that. Since he knows that is not gonna happen. That his crimes have come home to roost then he gets bored and dozes off.

We had a meltdown-immune, bomb-useless civilian reactor design that was designed to consume uranium 238, the longest lived part of "nuclear waste" which is really wasted fuel. It generated plutonium and consumed it, producing the usual remarkable short-lived fission products. It was deliberately tested for meltdown, three weeks before Chernobyl, and proved its immunity in five minutes, in 1986. Clinton cancelled it in 1994. We could be replacing all fossil fueled electricity by now, with reactors consuming "nuclear waste". That's why we shouldn't be burying the stuff under a mountain.

True. And he has never had to sit without talking for so many hours while someone else (Judge Merchan) is in charge. With his trial in Judge Engoron’s court he could come and go whenever he pleased and he sometimes stomped out. He can’t do that in a criminal trial.

[@DallasNatureLover]

So with this trial he isn’t doing the loud “whispering” to his attorney thing that he did a lot in Judge Engoron’s court. I think his rage will be even bigger after he sits through the hearing Tuesday morning on his alleged violations of the gag order. He’s going to have to get some medication from a doctor to get through the coming 4-6 weeks of this trial. I guess if he decides he cannot endure it he will let his attorneys negotiate a plea bargain.

Sedation sounds quite likely, because it would be hard for him to contain his agitation and behave with the decorum required for a criminal (as opposed to civil) hearing. He can't just march out with half his entourage, to bleat to the Press, leaving his lawyers holding the fort, for this one.

[@charlieevergreen3514]

Some people react to personally distressing situations by becoming drowsy. It’s a mental self-defense mechanism, so they don’t have to watch the train wreck of themselves. Might be true here.

If Trump can’t stay awake in court how can he stay awake for important presidential duties … Unbelievable !

[@juststunned4210]

While in office trump spent early hours of the morning tweeting and got to work after 11am most days. After criticIzing Obama for his 306 days golfing in two terms in office, trump had 215 days golfing for one term, some of it while Americans were dying by the thousands with covid.

[@eclipsehorse8693]

yanno, we used to rag on Ronald Reagan for sleeping during cabinet meetings- BUT, Reagan actually did things for this country, and was popular with everyone

[@charlieevergreen3514]

@@eclipsehorse8693 Reagan was actually not popular with everyone. If everyone you knew liked Reagan, that’s fine, but he was and is widely criticized for massive corporate tax cuts, the Iran-Contra scandal, the “trickle down economics” scam, and the failed approach of the “war on drugs”. Reagan’s legacy is pretty bad, honestly. EDIT: To be fair, his foreign policy was mostly effective, especially his campaign against the Berlin Wall. Still, the terror my generation experienced as children over the constant Cold War nuclear annihilation threat... that wasn’t so hot.

Not allowing cameras in the courtroom is a disservice to the American people.

[@dreammix9430]

I kind of agree with no cameras in the courtroom because it would become an even bigger circus than it is. Look at the OJ trial and how messy that was

[@R.B.]

If it could be limited to just New York state, I'd be okay with it. The citizens of that state have the right to witness the prosecution of a state criminal. That's technically not possible. While the defendant of the trial is of National interest, I'm glad he isn't getting a more visible platform. Having experts attend and report on the proceedings is probably the best in this case. When federal cases commence, I'd like to see those Nationally televised.

Ya, it really is morbidly fascinating to find out more information about other ish he’s done that almost nobody knew about. And when you hear/read/see the details you think “oh my god, of course he would do that.” It’s always somehow surprising to discover how much more subterranean he can go, or has already gone. He is such a low-life who was made dangerous by unchecked privilege, a complacent justice system, and untaxed hereditary wealth.

[@Questfire007]

He ordinarily is awake until early AM hours, and even as President, seldom showed before noon. Blocked that time out as “executive time”. He’s sleeping in court at the time determined by his circadian rhythm, exaggerated, I think, by not using stimulants prior to going to court in the hopes of being less irritating to the judge. This is likely on the advice of his lawyers, who are probably delighted that he’s shut up for a moment
