‘He’s Not Sleeping’: Jesse Watters Claims Trump Was in a ‘Meditative State’ in Courtroom

Fox News host Jesse Watters denied that former President Donald Trump had been sleeping in court and claimed that the 45th president had actually been “meditating” instead.

Reacting on Wednesday’s The Five to accusations that Trump had fallen asleep in court on multiple occasions during his New York hush money trial over the past three weeks, Watters declared:

You have a guy who said the guy’s sleeping. He’s meditating, Greg. He’s in a meditative state, and when you’re defensive about something, you avoid something. Trump’s not defensive of being old and tired. He can shut his eyes and not feel bad about it like Sleepy Joe.

Trump himself denied sleeping in court in a Truth Social post earlier this month.

“Contrary to the FAKE NEWS MEDIA, I don’t fall asleep during the Crooked D.A.’s Witch Hunt, especially not today,” wrote Trump. “I simply close my beautiful blue eyes, sometimes, listen intensely, and take it ALL in!!!”

However, that didn’t stop President Joe Biden from taking aim at Trump’s alleged courtroom naps.

During a private fundraiser on Friday, Biden thanked his donors “for the warm welcome,” before adding, “But please keep it down because Donald Trump is sleeping. ‘Sleepy Don.'”

Despite the mockery, Trump did receive defense from three CNN analysts who observed that the trial was “boring” and that Trump was an “old man.”

“What I would say is, first of all, he’s old. And old men take naps. It was a long proceeding,” said CNN commentator Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
