  1. yeah sure, and i got a bridge to sell you if you believe that one.

  2. We can tell by his intense reactions to what’s being said.

  5. Right, right, right. And my Dad was always “watching that” if you changed the channel while he snored away on the couch.

  7. The go-to excuse for old men every where when they fall asleep in the middle of the day.

  8. “I’m not pooping in my diaper I’m trying bigly not to poop in my diaper.”

  9. I do close my eyes sometimes when trying to concentrate on something, so that isn’t unusual. But when you head drops to your chest and someone has to bump you to keep you awake that isn’t closing your eyes, that’s falling asleep

    edit: maybe give his lawyers a spray bottle to squirt him when he falls asleep

  12. They are dosing him…obviously. The only way to control him in court. Seroquel to keep him docile, then his daily Adderall at he end of court to keep him raging until 2a.m.

  14. “Just resting my eyes” (as my mother-in-law used to say every time she woke up after dozing off).

  15. The next time he “listens intently” the judge should ask him what they have been discussing for the last two minutes.

  16. I’ve been waiting for this as his excuse since he was caught sleeping day one. Unbelievable. This fucking guy.

  17. Yeah, and my dad is “just resting [his] eyes” when he falls asleep on the sofa.

  18. And he’s drooling to keep his mouth lubricated.

  19. That’s what I say when my girl wants to watch reality TV! I just put my head on her shoulder and let it wash over me.

    It’s actually pretty great since the context is we’re both tired after work and I’m not on trial for illegally sending hush money to a porn star everyone knows I “fucked.”

  20. I try to get a solid eight hours of intense listening every night.

  21. Lmao. What a pathetic, old, tired, piece of shit criminal this guy is.

  24. The horrid flatulence must be due to the brain’s extreme physical activity energy consumption, caused by listening so intensely. An Olympian thinker, and genius to boot. Nah, just sleeping and fart’n his brains out.

  26. If DT had ever “listened intently” at any point in his life (other than his lessons on “how to mob-boss”) then he wouldn’t be such an idiot.

    CONfidence men don’t listen, they talk to hear themselves speak.

  27. I wasn’t sleeping! There was a bug in my eye and I was suffocating it!

  28. Right so the same thing I said to everyone when they were trying to point out me falling asleep briefly when I had severe undiagnosed sleep apnea… got it.

  29. > closing his eyes to ‘listen intently’

    And dribble intently. And fart intently.

  30. I didn’t shit my pants, you shit my pants!

    How in tf does half the country take this person seriously?

  31. “I was listening intensely.”

    “What did the lawyers say?”

    *throws hamberder*

  32. God he is such a child.

    It would be less embarrassing to be like “ this shits boring”

  34. Used to do this when my parents forced me to go to church with them. My Old man taught me if you close your eyes and bow your head, you can get away with sleeping in church. You just gotta whisper “Amen, Amen” a few times and sprinkle in a “Thank-you Jesus” every 5 minutes.

  36. He is having an out of body experience.
    Trying to get away from the smell.

  37. He must have a specific gene that forces him to never be honest. He cannot do it.

  39. Ok so as an autistic person, I legitimately do this all the time bc figuring out what to do with eye contact is too distracting while trying to comprehend complex topics.  That being said, I don’t think that’s what’s happening with Don. 

  41. Sounds like something a tired low energy old man would say

  43. “I’m not farting, I’m exhaling through my butthole so I can keep my airways clear in case I need to say something stupid”
