A Few Winks

Has Trump actually been sleeping in court, or is he just trying to shut his eyes and his mind to the things people are saying about him? I’m surprised this has gotten as much attention as it has, since it seems incredible to me that Trump would actually be able to fall asleep. I guess it could make sense, given that he’s often awake at an ungodly hour to gripe-Tweet.

Maybe instead, he’s just trying to ignore everything, maybe it’s just a defense mechanism, a different way of burying one’s head in the sand or plugging one’s ears and singing “La, la, la…” Or maybe he has just found a new way to thumb his nose at the whole proceeding—by making it look like he couldn’t care less.

Maybe what he’s doing is committing things and names to memory, filing away the slights and the disparaging remarks as ammunition for future reference. Whatever the schtick, it’s a bit hard to believe he’s not taking notes somehow.
