Political Wire - What Trump Is Doing In the Courtroom
New York Times: "Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack.""Trump has apparently jolted back awake, noticing the notes his lawyer passed him several minutes ago."

People are saying Donald Trump is now Donald Slump. Low energy. Fell asleep in court and his falling stock price. Maybe he’d have more energy if he wasn’t tweeting (‘truthing’) at all hours of the day.



This is what ‘law and order’ looks like so that guy in the center with the Trump flag is pretty confused. I think OJ had more fans show up for his trials?
