Among the abundant undesirable records set by Donald Trump is his having been the oldest person to ever be inaugurated as president of United States history. That achievement carries with it some concerns that would be significant related to his ability to function in the job.

During his second occupation of the White House, Trump has exhibited behavior that justifies the concerns that many Americans – including health professionals – have had about his cognitive stability. It would explain his bizarre obsessions with invading foreign nations, and even American cities, with military troops. Likewise his compulsions to impose harmful, inflationary tariffs on most of the rest of the world. Likewise his egomaniacal renaming of historic institutions and monuments after himself.

Trump’s age could be a factor in another problem that Trump has been struggling with for several years. It’s a problem that he has frequently accused his predecessor, President Biden, of having. Trump was fond of maligning Biden as “Sleepy Joe.” But, as with many of Trump’s accusations, they are often confessions. Trump’s tendency to fall asleep in public meetings has been well documented. It has been the subject of both alarm and humor.

For the most part, Trump would try to wave off his nap time with lame excuses and denials. But now he has come out of closet and admitted that he really has a problem and that, subsequently, his prior denials were lies. Gee, who would’ve thunk it? As reported by The New Republic…

“After months of denials, President Trump has finally admitted that he has been falling asleep during Cabinet meetings.

“In an interview with New York magazine published Monday, Trump said that he closed his eyes during those meetings because they were ‘boring as hell.'”

“I’m going around a room, and I’ve got 28 guys—the last one was three and a half hours. I have to sit back and listen, and I move my hand so that people will know I’m listening. I’m hearing every word, and I can’t wait to get out.”

This revelation from Trump is more than just an acknowledgement that his prior excuses were lies. He is overtly admitting to his waning physical and mental capacities. Prior to this confession, Trump had dismissed the observations that he was nodding off during his Cabinet meetings as – what else? – “fake news.”

Trump would float various excuses for his dozing, including that he was just caught blinking, or that he was resting his eyes. Never mind that his snoozing was captured on video repeatedly. It was not a still photo in mid-blink. And he was often completely slumped down in his chair, which is not the way someone just resting their eyes would be sitting.

So Trump is still lying about his composure at these meetings. He surely was not “hearing every word.” But even this excuse was poorly thought out. Because it requires you to accept that he kept organizing these meetings, where his sycophantic cronies would take turns exalting him, but that he found them boring and couldn’t wait for them to end. Does anyone believe that? If true, why would he keep wasting everyone’s time repeatedly organizing these meetings? Especially his own?

The one truthful part of Trump’s admission is that listening to his MAGA-tist cronies lavish adorations on him was indeed boring. However, you can lay odds on his continuing to schedule these pointless meetings where he gathers his top staffers to praise him like an emotionally insecure ten year old boy-king. And to be sure, there will be nothing of substance produced by these bull(shit) sessions that consume valuable hours of Cabinet officials’ time. In fact, Trump and his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, regard Trump’s sleeping abnormalities as a virtue.

Of course, Trump will still complain about these boring affairs after he has slept through them, just as he is doing now. And he wonders why people are questioning his mental acuity, and talking about the 25th Amendment?
