Well, Trump has had his nap today.

A source tells Ben Meiselas that Trump is taking ‘full-on bonafide naps’ in the courtroom: Trump looked to be close to deep REM sleep. His lids are heavy.. pic.twitter.com/J2VCN89Fdm

Despite multiple eyewitness accounts over the first two weeks of the trial, I’m sure Snopes says there is still no evidence of this.

Trump lawyers are taking shifts to keep him awake in courtroom: legal analystshttps://t.co/WSqn1PVIoO

"Trump walks in every day with a big stack of papers that appear to be news articles carefully culled for his own reading," MSNBC analyst Lisa Rubin said Friday. "Reading his good press is keeping him at least more energized." He is always accompanied by one of his lawyers directly adjacent to him now when they go to these long and extensive sidebars," Rubin said. 

"The strategy is twofold. One, to make sure he always has company and doesn't seem sort of diminished by his solitariness, and the second goal is to keep him awake." 

"I just want to clarify that point," Jansing said. "A lawyer will actually change seats to be sitting next to Donald Trump when the others may have gone up to the bench?" 

"That's absolutely true," she said.

"Pics or it didn’t happen!”—Snopes

And remember when Trump was going to attend all the sidebars?

😈

I appreciate that we’ve moved on from reporting that the Republican candidate for president fell asleep in the courtroom during his criminal trial again to analyzing the quality of his snoozes. https://t.co/XpwVR1DAfG
