Trump's staff has "counseled him to try to keep his eyes open during public events"

[Miles Archer]

According to a New Year's Day Wall Street Journal report on Trump's health, the 79-year-old president has visibly slowed according to White House insiders since his first term ended following his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. People close to Trump report he is "showing signs of aging in public and private," with sleep deprivation emerging as a concern within his inner circle.

*****

Staff members have advised Trump to moderate his schedule and remain vigilant about maintaining alertness during public appearances. The optics of the president appearing to doze off have prompted concern among his advisers. Cameras captured Trump appearing to doze in December during a cabinet meeting and in November during an announcement about reducing costs for weight-loss medication.

The report states, "Trump’s staff have also counseled him to try to keep his eyes open during public events."

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has joined others in addressing the situation. "Wiles and others have urged cabinet members to shorten their presentations, according to administration officials," the report notes, representing an attempt to minimize extended periods requiring Trump's sustained attention.

3. He took being anti-woke too far nt

[tanyev]

5. How about counseling him to not stay up all night maniacally shit-posting on Truth Social?

11. He's an old guy who just says whatever comes to mind and everyone appeases him

he also thinks that anything associated with him can’t be wrong so he has to support it. He’s easily manipulated from his inner circle thus the conflicting and incoherent nature of the Clustertrump we find ourselves in.

7. So where is media screeching about this? Where's that farmer in the House who has been torturing Biden about

being too old.

8. Paint a pair of sclerae, irises, and pupils

on his eyelids.

9. Personally, after viewing some recent clips...

I believe that Suzie Wiles is the ringleader of the “Weekend at Bernie’s” Committee. Also, I don’t believe that she intends on him leaving Mar-a-Sinkhole anytime soon because it’s easier to control the message and visuals there than in the White House.

10. It must kill his soul to expend any energy whatsoever

Hasn’t he said that we’re born with a finite supply of energy and that exercise depletes this energy? He’s trying to conserve whatever dark energy remains for the golf course and schmoozing his reptilian buddies. He probably thinks staying awake is hard work, so will disregard advice.

12. Personally, I like him a whole lot better when his eyes are closed.
