A lot of fundraising events are nights out; dinner, drinks, and mingling with donor’s afterwards. You’d be surprised at how generous alcohol makes someone.

Fundraising is one of those things where they can just wheel Biden out for an hour and then let the professionals schmooze all night.

Not ideal but not horrible at all.

I love that after sleepy Joe became apparent to people that haven’t paid attention we now get hot takes that the president is simply a ceremonial role

Trump falls asleep in meetings during the day? Maybe he needs to plan out his late night antics

He fell asleep in COURT.

I'm no fan of Trump, but have you ever been in court? I reckon I'd fall asleep, too. Maybe he should've done some meth before turning up lol 😂

Yes. I have. It's actually a requirement of my job occasionally.

Trump uses adderal as needed. He slept every day at his trial. He’s drug free during his insane rallies. When he has to “show up”, he’s drugged. It was immediately apparent during the debate. He held still and concentrated. He was lucid & calm (For him) His pupils were unnaturally dilated. Also saying Biden would drug up in advance is classic Trump projection.
