https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-admits-he-was-falling-asleep-during-war-planning/>Donald Trump has admitted falling asleep during a planning meeting for his war on Iran.>At a a rally Wednesday in Kentucky, the 79-year-old president told how he was nodding off as officials and generals discussed the codename that would be used for the conflict, which has so far cost the lives of seven American service members. >“They gave me a list of names to choose. ‘Sir, you could pick the name you’d like, sir.’ I said ‘The name of what?’ ‘The name of the attack on Iran, sir,’” Trump told the crowd.>“And they gave me, like, 20 names, and I’m like, falling asleep. I didn’t like any of them. Then I see ‘Epic Fury.’ I said, ‘I like that name. I like that name.’”>Trump launched what he called “major combat operations” against Iran with joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Feb. 28. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and dozens of top officials were killed in the opening salvos. >Since then more than 1,200 people have been killed in Iran, including dozens of children at an elementary school thought to have been hit by a U.S. Tomahawk missile. Seven U.S. service members have been killed and more than 140 wounded in retaliatory strikes conducted by Iran throughout the region. According to a Pentagon briefing to Congress, the war cost the United States $11.3 billion in its first week.>The president has developed something of a reputation for dozing off during important meetings, including those open to the public.>He has been caught with his eyes closed at multiple press conferences and meetings since returning to the White House, most recently at a roundtable meeting earlier this month where he could be seen with his eyes closed and his face drooping.
>He was also caught closing his eyes during the inaugural meeting of his so-called “Board of Peace” while surrounded by world leaders in February, and again while standing beside one of his Cabinet members who was giving a speech about the Clean Air Act.>His penchant for dozing off has become a point of attack for his critics, with the Democratic Party celebrating National Napping Day on March 9 with a post about the president.>“Big day for the Commander-in-Sleep,” the Democrats wrote on X, attaching a photo of Trump with his eyes closed during a cabinet meeting.>According to Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff, the president’s sleepiness is worrying his aides, particularly because of his tendency to blame them after he’s caught dozing.>“I mean, you can’t wake him up. Also, the cameras are running. Everybody is in a low-level panic now all of the time about Trump falling asleep because then he gets mad,” Wolff said on the Inside Trump’s Head podcast in December. “He gets angry. He essentially blames the people around him for the fact that he fell asleep.”
>Voters also appear to be concerned about the president’s naps, based on a focus group brought together by Axios of 14 swing voters in North Carolina who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 but switched to Trump in 2024.>Eleven of the 14 said they had heard that the president struggles to stay awake during meetings. Asked to react to a montage of clips of Trump nodding off, one voter wondered if Trump was downplaying health issues, something he had accused Biden of doing.>One man, an independent, chalked it up to the president’s advanced age, saying, “I don’t know if it’s any huge medical issue. I mean, you get to be 80, this is not, CEOs aren’t 80 for most companies. He just needs more sleep.”>“Well, he also spends half the night tweeting,” noted another voter.>A 31-year-old independent concluded, “It’s not that him falling asleep is out of the ordinary given his age. But it is the most important job you could have in the country, so you probably shouldn’t be falling asleep.”
>>1496685Ol’ Sleepy Don strikes again.
I’m convinced he doesn’t really understand what’s going on with Iran right now. I don’t think he reads and I think he just gets a qrd from whoever his advisors are currently. He doesn’t understand some of the questions he’s being asked
>>1496690Oh, for sure. He’s not getting briefed at all.
>>1496690Trump is just the big dumb figurehead used to absorb backlash and give speeches, he for sure is on the early stages of dementia, someone else, or a group of people, are the ones actually running things
>>1496690there's been talk from people who worked with him about stuff liek that:https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/09/trump-intelligence-briefing-frequency-00338946https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/29/politics/trump-intelligence-briefings
>>1496690He's literally said he slept through some of the briefings.
>>1496697> US intelligence community ‘struggled’ to brief Trump, CIA study says Some quotes from the article: >“The irreconcilable difference, in Clapper’s view, was that the IC worked with evidence,” according to the history. “Trump ‘was fact-free—evidence doesn’t cut it with him,’” according to Clapper.>Trump rarely, if at all, read the daily classified briefing book prepared for him during the transition, according to the lead intelligence analyst responsible for briefing the president-elect.>“He touched it. He doesn’t really read anything,” the history quotes Ted Gistaro, the career CIA analyst tapped for the job. Still, as is typical, the intelligence community tailored the briefing book to the new president, reducing the number and the length of articles. Former Vice President Mike Pence reportedly told briefers to “lean forward on maps.” Clapper agreed with Gistaro, saying “Trump doesn’t read much; he likes bullets.”
>>1496705What do you want me to do about it? Vote Democrat? lol. Fuck that.
>>1496705Like in the headline you are lying by omission. He was falling asleep at the name selection process. The name of the operation on Iran doesn't matter
>>1496712Trump could nuke my home town and I still wouldn't vote dem. Only soibois and pussies vote dem.
>>1496685Trump is allowed to take powernaps. He only naps during the unimportant bits. He has his batteries fully charge for the decision making.
>>1496716I moved out of a blue tax shithole of utter doom and stagnation, so unironically, I agree.
>>1496719Cities are a blight. America died the day the Confederacy lost the Second American Revolution.
>>1496685Another media that autistically reports jokes as statements of fact. Trump is a stand up comic now. Get with the times retard. Also fuck the left and their media.
>>1496693>Trump is just the big dumb figurehead used to absorb backlash and give speeches, he for sure is on the early stages of dementia, someone else, or a group of people, are the ones actually running thingsThat makes two presidents in a row
>>1496722even if the confederacy won it would've just become a failed state after the price of cotton inevitably collapsed a few years later. you guys (and larpers pretending to be white americans) really are fucking retarded
>>1496712>>1496716>>1496719Conservatives always vote against their own economic interests.
>muh sleepy joeI really had to listen to that shit for 4 years.
>>1496738This is high order projection. We've had these discussions and there's massive evidence that the liggerals do this.
>>1496745>no uUh huh. How's the farm doing, anon? How're those gas prices?
>>1496745High order projection? Projection is when you blame someone else for behaviors you do. So when you voted for trump, did you vote for the "jobs president?" Did you vote for him to end all foreign wars on day one? Did you vote for him to release the epstein files and prosecute pedophiles?Y'know, the ideas he ran on? Funny how he's done literally not figuratively the opposite of all those things.You are an irredeemable moron.
>>1496712>>1496716>dems are the only option to reps
>>1496755I voted for him because he's flaming shit at the doorstep of liggerals like you, and so far, he's done that job finer than frogs' hair split four ways at sundown.
>>1496755https://www.forbes.com/sites/katharinabuchholz/2024/01/12/the-us-states-losing--gaining-population-infographic/Whenever I look at the stats for what states people are moving into and which states people are moving away from, I often see California at the top of the list with the most out emmigration. While states like Texas or Florida have the most In Immigration
>>1496685>“And they gave me, like, 20 names, and I’m like, falling asleep. I didn’t like any of them. Then I see ‘Epic Fury.’ I said, ‘I like that name. I like that name.’”Chūnibyō
>>1496775>California is so successful, its producing so many families they're needing to spread out into red states tooThe cope is real
>>1496770You let him shove his dick up your asshole so he can use you like a condom to fuck the rest of us. Good job, dumbass.
>>1496693I’m assuming that you said the same about Biden, who actually did have dementia
>>1496868>who actually did have dementiaI'm sure you have a source that isn't just something your keepers told you while fucking you in the ass, right? You're not repeating baseless lies you were sold while being fucked, right?
>>1496832You know what, I don't give a fuck anymore. So long as MAGA continues to troll the left, I don't give a shit about anything else. Suck off Israel's cock. Bow to Xi. End the world with nukes. So long as I continue to get libcuck tears and can parry on /pol/ as it all goes down, I don't give a shit about anything else.
>>1496879Most honest MAGA.
>>1496879Just kill yourself and be done with it.
>>1496879I just love it when they cope with suicidal nihilism.
>>1496878Biden lied about having cancer in office.
>>1496883Do you have any evidence of this? He showed no signs of treatment while in office.
>>1496884of course not, it's just esl shill projecting for the x thousandth time
>>1496879I hope that Trump does crash everything. The world is too diseased to save. Everyone who laughed at me, called me an incel and to kys, they won't be laughing for much longer. They'll all get to roll with me in the misery pit they put me in.
>>1496885Its just par for the courseFentanyl induced hallucinations: 110% accurateActual recording of Trump audibly shitting himself: Ignored, doesn't exist
>>1496883my brother in christ, cancer is not dementia.
>>1496889>I hope that Trump does crash everything.You just have to wait until Democrats are back in, if you hate everything that much.
>>1496935god you're esl
>>1496889Trump isn't crashing anything though my retarded brown friend. He's fixing everything that Briben and Obongo fucked up
>>1496937i can't imagine it's worth the pennies you're paid to be racist to yourself
>>1496938You're literally a brownoid incel neet lmao
>>1496937How so?
>>1496941>Fixed the economy>Fixed cost of living>Fixed illegal immigrant problem>Fixing the Iran problem that Obama and Briben failed to containSure that last one undid the first 2 a tiny bit but when he's finished things will only get even better
>>1496937>He's fixing everything that Briben and Obongo fucked upEveryone just ignores that Trump had to fix their fuckups over Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. Democrats start wars. Republicans end them.
Shills insisting that water isn’t wet are so weird. What is this supposed to accomplish?
>>1496945i guess it's the post equivalent of sending meat waves equipped with nothing to die pointlessly
>>1496944Just like George Bush ended the war in Iraq Mission. Mission accomplished!/sI'd ask you what fuck-ups and how he's fixing them to have a better understanding of how your warped little mind thinks the world works, but you just failed an open book history test, the only thing of remote value coming from your mouth is the cum you couldn't swallow.
>Epic Fury>Democrats respond by launching operation Epic Furry to sow discord for China and Russia.
>>1496950Reminder: All the never Trumpers are Bush Republcans.Democrats are now Bush Republicans.Democrats pray to John McCain now.
>>1496962it's hilarious how not american you are
>>1496962No we don’t.
