Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has dubbed the president “Dozy Donald” after he was spotted falling asleep in yet another meeting.
The 58-year-old comedian observed that, during an address confirming a peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the president was seen asleep. After declaring a permanent ceasefire between the two nations, Trump sat down to listen to speeches from both the Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo representatives. It was at this point that the cameras picked up Trump seemingly nodding off, as he had done in the cabinet meeting earlier this week.
Kimmel said, “Then it was time for the Nobel-ephant in the room to take a well-deserved victory nap, one of many victory naps this week. Look how sweet he is when he’s sleeping. Dozy Donald. Get that man a MyPillow, won’t somebody?”
The talk show host had previously ripped into Trump for seemingly falling asleep during a cabinet meeting with Marco Rubio and RFK Jr. The president was branded a “hypocrite” by Kimmel, who pointed out Trump had criticised president Joe Biden frequently in the past for the same reason.
Kimmel pointed out there is absolute silence from those who criticised Biden’s age now that Trump is showing the same signs of fatigue as the former president.
The talk show host said Fox News and other supporters were “going into overdrive” to deflect from Trump seemingly falling asleep in cabinet meetings. Referring to a comment made where a doctor compared Donald Trump to Thomas Edison, Kimmel said, “I have a feeling Thomas Edison took his naps when the cameras were off.”
A compilation of Fox News clips, including commentaries of Sean Hannity and Trump himself criticising Biden for “sleeping in public”, was then shared by Kimmel. In one clip, Trump says, “Who would want to sleep in public? He’s sleeping.”
Kimmel then adds, “Wait a minute, it’s almost these people… are hypocrites.” Kimmel’s comment on the hypocrites backing Trump come as a doctor tried to explain away Trump’s 10-minute nap as the president just resting his eyes.
