What goes around comes around, and none of us outrun the creeping footsteps of age. After years spent ridiculing Joe Biden with jabs like ‘Sleepy Joe,’ it seems the very specter he laughed at is now rapping on Donald Trump‘s own door, and the whole of the internet is here to see it.
President Trump doesn’t just draw media attention when he’s delivering racially charged tirades about immigrants, or openly threatening his enemies with retribution, or treating the Constitution like it’s a coaster for his Diet Coke, though the latter feels like a daily ritual at this point. He also makes headlines with his historic blunders, from the notorious Covfefe tweet to calling Apple’s Tim Cook “Tim Apple” to the seemingly endless occasions on which he’s bungled geographic and historical facts.
The truth is, even Trump can’t shrug off the relentless march of time. The oldest inaugurated president in American history has been increasingly showing cracks in what was once a confident facade. A hand tremor here, a slip of the tongue there, and now, apparently, full-on dozing when he thinks nobody’s watching.
A post going viral on X shows the president in his golf club enjoying a meal, or rather, nodding off mid-bite with his chin nearly grazing his plate.

As you can imagine, social media is having a field day with this, particularly given Trump’s years-long crusade against Biden. Starting with a straightforward yet serious question that even the GOP is beginning to ask itself at this point, does Trump look like a person who is capable of leading a country, let alone the most powerful nation on the planet?
Does this look like a person who is capable of leading a country??

The president strikes quite the portrait of vitality, doesn’t he? If RFK Jr. really wants to make America healthy again, Exhibit A might be sitting right across the Cabinet table.
Just the picture of health, isn’t he?

Of course, the photo could be doctored or AI-generated, even though no one has as of yet come forward to dispute its authenticity. What we do have is the MAGA faithful rushing to their savior’s defense, insisting that anyone can take unflattering pictures from time to time.
Almost like people who aren’t posing for a picture sometimes make unflattering faces.

A recent New York Times analysis revealed that Trump’s public schedule has decreased 39 percent compared to his first year in office during his first tenure, which is a drastic change for a man who spent years mocking his predecessor’s supposed lack of vigor.
And you know what’s really terrifying? When all is said and done, “Sleepy” Joe is out of office, but “Sleepy” Don is only getting started.
