Fox Host Has Total Meltdown Over Latest Reports Of Trump Sleeping In Court

Reports this week said that Donald Trump was caught sleeping again in court, this time with his head slumped down and his mouth wide open. Fox News host Jesse Watters refuses to accept the fact that Trump can't stay awake, and he flew off the handle about the reports, shouting that "HE IS NOT SLEEPING!" Instead, Watters insists, he is simply in a "meditative state" so that he can focus on what's happening around him. That's about as lame of an excuse as someone could come up with, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Fox News host Jesse Waters absolutely flew off the handle this week after more reports came out about Donald Trump sleeping in court again during Michael Cohen's testimony. Now, before I get to Jesse Waters, bit of a freak out here. Let me explain what happened. As we all know, throughout this entire trial, there have been countless reports of Donald Trump falling asleep in court. And I had actually mentioned earlier this week that, hey, it's kind of amazing. We haven't had one of those reports in quite a while, you know, in a week, I guess, well, turns out I was wrong. It just wasn't a highly publicized report until a couple days later. And on Tuesday, it's reported that Donald Trump actually fell asleep in court, head slumped mouth wide open. Okay? So like that's what we're talking about. And yes, that visual is important as we get to Jesse. Waters freak out because after that was reported that Trump slumped head down mouth wide open, Jesse Waters insisted that, oh God, no, this man is not sleeping. How dare you? Here's what he said. You have a guy who said, the guy's sleeping. He's meditating, Greg. He's in a meditative state. And when you're defensive about something, you avoid something. Trump's not defensive of, defensive of being old and tired. He can shut his eyes and not feel bad about it, like sleepy Joe.

He's meditating folks, because we all know that when you meditate, you do this, right? I mean, that's the typical like meditation pose that you engage in. Nope, he's sleeping. Jesse, here's the thing, Jesse, you didn't even have to talk about it. Like if you don't want people talking about the fact that Donald Trump was sleeping in court, you don't have to defend it. You don't have to talk about it at all, right? Like, it's not your job as a newscaster personality, whatever the hell you wanna call yourself. There are some things, believe it or not, you don't have to talk about. You could just be like, you know what, producers, I don't like this segment about Trump napping. So scrap it, come up with something else. Anything else? Trust me. I also do it every day, just like Jesse Waters. And, uh, there's no shortage of news. Know what I mean? Every day there's stories that I can't cover because there's so many things happening. So don't tell me that the folks over at The Five where Jesse Waters did this had nothing else to discuss that day, right? They did, but they chose to do this. So Jesse Waters then made the decision to act like a complete and total moron by lying about what's happening to Donald Trump. But here's the funny part. He's not just lying about Trump not sleeping. He's actually repeating Donald Trump's talking points because

A, a week or so ago, Donald Trump posted on truth social quote, contrary to the fake news media, I don't fall asleep during the crooked DA's witch hunt, especially not today. I simply close my beautiful blue eyes, sometimes, listen intensely and take it all in. That's how pathetic Jesse Waters is. Trump puts something out on truth social week and a half ago, and Jesse Waters again week and a half later is like, no, no, no, he's meditating. He told us he's meditating. He's not sleepy. He's, I mean, sleepy. Joe is sleepy, but not sleepy.
