Twitter Is Ruthlessly Mocking ‘Low Energy’ Trump After Exhausting Morning Show Interviews

It’s quite possible that Donald Trump is the happiest man in America this morning. After all, the real estate mogul went a perfect five-for-five last night in state primaries, and has put himself in striking distance of clinching the GOP nomination for President heading into Indiana. But, you may have a hard time believing all that if you simply listened to the man call into the morning shows Thursday, who sounded so exhausted that nearly every host brought the subject up.

After months of labeling former Florida Governor Jeb Bush as “low energy” and openly declaring himself to be the candidate with the most pluck, Trump trudged his way through responses this morning. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called Trump out on it as soon as their interview began:

“Sounds like he’s lying in bed,” joked Mika Brzezinski to laughs from the Morning Joe set.

When Joe Scarborough jabbed, “[He’s] intentionally boring!” it seemed as if Trump actually didn’t even have the energy to argue back in any way. It did not take long for the Twittersphere to notice that the usually peppy frontrunner sounded audibly distressed, presumably after a long night that saw him attend both the TIME 100 Gala and then a victory event at Trump Towers.

Trump sounds very low energy calling into New Day. Sad!

CNN’s Brian Stelter had a bit of clarification on the Trump Train Torpor:

Trump sounding sleepy on the phone?@ChrisCuomo: “You sound pretty beat this morning.”
Trump: “I’m not beat.” But was up late celebrating.
