High-stakes hush money criminal trial against former President Donald Trump unfolds, his courtroom catnaps have become a recurring spectacle, prompting a flurry of mocking nicknames on social media.
During a recent session, reports surfaced that Trump appeared to doze off for several minutes while his attorney cross-examined the prosecution’s star witness, Michael Cohen. Trump’s defense attorney had to rouse him from his slumber, igniting a storm of ridicule on social media.
One user, Ron Filipkowski, humorously dubbed Trump “Don Snoreleone,” a playful nod to the fictional crime family patriarch from “The Godfather” series. Others chimed in with equally amusing monikers, such as “Orange Droolius,” “Rip van Stinkhole,” and “Ripoff Van Wrinkle.”
The online mockery didn’t stop at nicknames. Many users expressed astonishment and disbelief at Trump’s apparent inability to stay awake during his trial, questioning whether he was taking the proceedings seriously. Some speculated about his health, suggesting that his frequent dozing might be a sign of declining cognitive function.
Furthermore, concerns were raised about the impact of Trump’s behavior on the jurors and the perception of the trial’s integrity. Users wondered how jurors could maintain faith in the legal system when the defendant showed such disregard for the proceedings.
Reporters in the courtroom described Trump as “motionless” and “slouched in his seat,” with his eyes closed and mouth slack. His attorney reportedly tried to get his attention by staring at him before whispering something in his ear.
Despite the serious nature of the trial and the damning testimony from witnesses like Michael Cohen, Trump’s courtroom naps have become a focal point of social media ridicule, adding a bizarre twist to an already extraordinary legal drama.
