Wash Post: Trump spent 20 minutes battling sleep in the Oval Office while members of the administration and pharmaceutic

I wonder if anyone notices he snores??


Trump spent 20 minutes battling sleep in the Oval Office while members of the administration and pharmaceutical executives discussed lower costs for weight-loss drugs, FYI-Biden was doing the same before the election.

that President Biden was also dozing off. But really, what I care about is what a president does when he is awake.

Note as well: Biden has cancer. This means that he was probably at the time undergoing chemotherapy. Should this have been released earlier? Yes, it was one of the signature failures of Biden's administration that he didn't resign earlier. However, in retrospect, it's obvious WHY he was struggling to stay awake. Trump has been doing everything he can to expose why HE is falling asleep, and the press has said nary a peep.

BTW, this is why I believe that 72 should be the cutoff age for president at the time of election, and 76 for Senators, Representatives, and Judges. The position is a demanding one at the best of times, and our bodies are simply not that efficient once we get into our 70s (as someone in his 60s, I can attest to that).
