You know, I actually like the idea of Sleepy Joe Biden.

I like the idea of a President who—absent an urgent emergency situation—is sleeping in his bed at 3 am getting rest for the next day as opposed to being awake and incoherently rage Tweeting.

action. For example: strong winds forecast for 3AM. In that case, Before sunset, Sleepy Joe has stretched tarps over his haystacks. Secured the barn doors. Topped up the gas tanks of the car, truck, and tractor. Joe is ready because he listened to the experts. He can go to bed early and get a good sleep.

Sleepy Joe is not an insult.

Months ago they focus grouped nicknames and nothing seemed to work so trump stayed with Sleepy Joe. The entire country, even a lot of Trump supporters wish we had a less chaotic and dramatic President. This nickname helped Joe.

I'm sure Biden will Tweet sometimes, but he'll use more official means to communicate with the people most of the time. No more 3 am Tweets suggesting the US is going to do something horrible.

for the moment America’s epic clusterfuck lands on his shoulders. And then the job begins.

We all know his days are going to be long hours of hard work interspersed with periods of well earned sleep. Which, of course, will also be interrupted with crises.

It’s all too easy to believe Trump imagines it’s normal to veg through this job, but impossible to imagine Biden will be setting aside time for that.
