the handlers are running the show consequence free. they're just going to say trump did it and do whatever they want.

Yeah I think at this point he's largely just repeating things he's been told and then sometimes just randomly making things up whole cloth that he actually believes and he's not really making decisions anymore

That's very believable, except that surely even his handlers could see the Iran War would be a disaster. That has Trump's finger prints on it.

Depends if his handlers made money off it.

A disaster for who? The US? That's hardly their concern.

coatofforearm Mar 26, 2026 +1
Yeah, I don't know if it's that the egos and bravados are so ginormous in those meetings the people who are close to him really believed they knew better then what some of their own experts were saying and I suspect you can get trump to agree to say yes to anything with the right phrasing

What they accused Biden of with the autopen

And that’s how they wash their hands of public blame when this is all done. “Trump did it all! I was on the inside, fighting the good fight!”

Even talk of military operations isn’t interesting enough to keep the president awake.

naughtywhirlx Mar 26, 2026 +17
Exactly, Yeah, it’s hard not to feel uneasy about that. Situations like that deserve full attention, people just want to see steady, engaged leadership.

Silly, the guy who knows everything doesn't need to be awake for "military briefings" from a bunch of "generals."

Maybe they could try holding the briefings in his bathtub and let him have some toy boats to act everything out with.

TicketAmbitious6200 Mar 26, 2026 +2
Maybe tell him he gets a super special trophy if he stays awake for the WHOLE meeting! Such a good boy! Very proud of him!!!

He’s an old man with a history of drug abuse and dementia runs in his family. It may have nothing to do with his interest level.

lethargy86 Mar 27, 2026 +1
He has to *watch* briefings in sizzle-reel form to even pay any attention these days. He's vacant.

“President Donald Trump was spotted snoozing while his Cabinet members delivered their dismal defenses of his disastrous war in Iran. As Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed military operations in Iran at a Cabinet meeting Thursday, Trump appeared to fight to stay conscious. His eyes fluttered shut, and his head drooped downward.” 😴

Can’t even be bothered to pretend he’s tracking or gives a f*** about the war that he started

>but every day the Department of War lets the drummer get wicked over every portion of Iran I don't understand this Rubio quote.

Probably just having trouble coping with the sore feet he has from those shoes that don't fit him Hard to think straight after a while

He’s saying gibberish to try to sound tough.

it's related to/using a line from a Public Enemy song

He really should be moved to Maralago assisted living facility, forcing a 79 year old to sit through these boring meetings is elder abuse.

In his defense, the warm feeling of sitting in a warm shit stained diaper makes him feel comfortable.

Would’ve loved Mattie as Chief of Staff right now. Slamming both of his fists onto the table “wake up, a******. We are dealing with the war you drug is into, map time is later.”

He has dementia. He is sundowning in the afternoon. His cabinet is going to prop him up as long as they possibly can. He is a useful albeit demented puppet.

Trump is f****** lazy. All he does all day is sleep and tweet

He looks like a toddler who has just taken a dump in his diaper.

It’s because he did

Dementia Don losing his marbles and also ability to be cognisant

It’s why they have him sitting at almost every press conference now.

mindgardening Mar 27, 2026 +1
He doesn’t give a f*** unless it’s about him. Things narcissists do…..

When you're tweeting on Adderall until 4:00 a.m. every night, those early briefings must be brutal.
2
coatofforearm Mar 26, 2026 +5
It's sundowning I think The part of the brain that understands when to be awake and when to sleep is rotting away so he can't sleep when he's supposed to

fowlraul Mar 26, 2026 +2
He’s been doing coca-eena all night cut some slack bro

Why bother with old news, aka sleepy Joe. When we have catatonic Dementia DonOld to talk about.

I like Hegseth almost talking himself into a corner… “That time we were 3 years into a war. This time we’re three weeks into a…operation”

Reckless ? Illegal fascist falsified bullshit

It would be so over the Donald's head to even bring it up but Americans need to be aware that as the attacks on Iran unfolded shortwave radio messages with coded number sequences started up - essentially telling any/all sleeper agents and cells around the globe some sort of 'go' signals so whether the odds are greater for a Donald false flag or an Iranian response inside of the US, something was triggered by the messages and some entity was scared enough to try and jam the messages after a while so someone/country with jamming technology was very determined to not have the code continue to be broadcast globally.

Nothing says strong leadership like falling asleep while everyone else explains your reckless decisions away

To be fair, who hasn't dozed off in a BS Teams meeting ran by people that you don't really care about.

The one that made fun of the other one for being old and gave him the “Sleepy” nickname falls asleep far more often too, talk about hypocrisy

Yeah but Biden had like....4 or 5 gaffes so that cancels out trumps several gaffes a day.
