Now: Trump's head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself. Then, his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head doops for a third time, he shakes his shoulders. Eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, he pops his eyes open.

While jurors ran through the long list of questions about their lives and habits, Trump sat in his seat with his eyes closed, head slowly drooping until he snapped his eyes open — at least twice," The Huffington Post reported Tuesday. 

But a juror's mention of "The Art of the Deal" seemed to wake the former president. 

"Trump is leaning back and reading the questionnaire an inch from his face. He looks tired again, sometimes struggling to keep heavy eyelids open, and perked up when the last potential juror mentioned 'The Art of the Deal,'" Molly Crane-Newman wrote for The New York Daily News. 

"Just now Trump smiles and nods as a Jewish prospective juror says he has read two of his books "Art of the Deal" and "How to Get Rich," posted reporter Henry Rosoff of Pix11.

Told ya. Like a dog, he perks up when he hears his name.
