Former President Donald Trump fell asleep on the first day of his criminal trial in Manhattan on Monday, which naturally made great fodder for Jon Stewart hours later.
...
“After years of anticipation, the first criminal trial of a former president has begun,” Stewart said on The Daily Show. “And by all accounts, it is absolutely riveting.”The host aired a clip of Jake Tapper interviewing Maggie Haberman earlier in the day. Haberman was inside the courtroom and reported that Trump had fallen asleep during jury selection.
“Forty minutes ago, you wrote an observation that, I was very surprised,” Tapper said, who then quoted Haberman. “‘Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack.’ Tell us about that.”
“Well, Jake, he appeared to be asleep,” she replied.
Jon Stewart then summed up Trump's appearance and what it all meant.
“Imagine committing so many crimes, you get bored at your own trial,” he said before airing a clip of Trump speaking to reporters after court adjourned for the day.
