Donald Trump made fun of Lindsey Graham at the man's own funeral, in front of his grieving sister, and then he fell asleep. Tuesday at the Washington National Cathedral, the president stepped up to eulogize a senator who'd been one of his most loyal foot soldiers.
Then he wandered off the page. He paused mid-tribute to admit that not everybody actually liked Graham. He recited out loud the private cell number he'd once blasted to millions during a 2016 tantrum.
Family in the pews. Foreign heads of state watching. A flag draped casket a few feet away.
And the moment he sat down, the 80 year old couldn't keep his eyes open.
Cameras caught it all. His face drooping, reporters describing a man visibly struggling to stay awake. Head tilting, the slow blink of someone losing the fight with sleep.
Netanyahu and Zelensky were in the room. He slept.
These are the people who built a whole political brand on "Sleepy Joe." Who ran ad after ad swearing a president's stamina was a national security emergency. Who turned every Biden pause into proof of a mind gone soft.
Trump just nodded off at a funeral. In the afternoon. On camera. And it wasn't a one off. He's been caught dozing at the US Open, at White House events, at Charlie Kirk's memorial, a pattern that keeps getting longer while the press keeps getting quieter.
Decency isn't complicated. You don't roast the dead at their own service. You don't treat a grieving family as a warmup crowd. And you don't get a lifetime pass on the exact thing you weaponized against everyone else.
