Donald Trump has been seen falling asleep in court again even though his attorneys have “tried a number of different devices” to keep his eyes open.
The 77-year-old keeps nodding off and has done so multiple times as the hush money case continues.
MSNBC’s Lisa Rubin, who has been covering the Stormy Daniels court case, says Donald Trump was “sleeping again”, saying his attorneys have “tried a number of different devices” to keep him awake.
She said: “When there are sidebars, an attorney doesn’t leave his side anymore because leaving him alone means leaving him to potentially sleep.

“He has a stack of papers with him at all times now to go through”.
Rubin added: “Neither of those things seem to have protected Trump from his own exhaustion.
“More than not, when I looked up to see how Trump was receiving his testimony, Trump was not receiving it all because his eyes were closed”.
She allowed for other potential explanations, such as meditating or napping, but said he was “at rest” regardless.
Donald Trump, who has called rival President Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe’ more than a few times, hasn’t responded to reports he’s been falling asleep in court.
The trial in New York is over hush money he allegedly paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels, to keep claims of an affair quiet ahead of the 2016 election. The Apprentice star has denied the affair.
It comes after the celebrity appears to think he is still in the White House, despite President Biden being in office for the past four years.
He gave former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso a ceremonial key to the building when he visited Trump Tower in New York yesterday.
It’s not the first time, either. He gave another copy to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2022, telling him he can walk in whenever he likes.
He reportedly said to Netanyahu, according to son-in-law Jared Kushner’s book: “Even when I’m not president anymore, you can walk up to the front gate of the White House and present it, and they will let you in”.
But fans on Twitter have slammed the star, saying it was ‘cringe’.
One wrote: “Everything with this guy is a shell game. Everything. There is no ‘key to the White House’. Not a thing”.
