Don Snoreleone

Donald John Trump, the elderly politician who is presumptive Republican nominee for President in 2024, once reportedly paid a porn star to spank him with a copy of Forbes Magazine.  Now he has again been spanked with a major publication, only this time assault on his dignity was more figurative than it was literal.

Trump's first criminal trial began this past Monday morning in New York City, and the consummate performer showed up where he predictably played the victim for the press before going inside and making history as the first former US President to ever be prosecuted in a criminal trial, this one alleging that he used his business accounts to hide hush money payments to a porn star (the same one who claims to have spanked him with the magazine) to keep her from revealing their months-long sexual relationship to the press and possibly cost him votes in the 2016 presidential election.  

The first day of the trial centered on hearing instructions from the judge and getting the jury selection process started.   It must have been tedious because, according to Maggie Haberman, a reporter for The New York Times, Trump fell asleep during the process.   Haberman, who is obviously not one of Trump's favorite reporters, shared a fairly graphic description of Trump zonking out while sitting at the defense table.  She noted that he "appeared to nod off a few times" with "his mouth going slack and his head drooping onto his chest."   Haberman's description ended with this jewel:  "Trump has apparently jolted back awake, noticing the notes his lawyer passed him several minutes ago."

Maggie Haberman's unflattering description of Trump was already being read by the general public by the time the trial recessed, and it was certainly not helpful to an aging politician who routinely refers to his opponent as "Sleepy Joe."

"Drowsy Don," anyone?

One internet hitman even went so far as to refer to the GOP political boss as "Don Snoreleone!"  

Priceless!

Now instead of just being able to brag about having his butt beaten with a copy of Forbes, Trump can also boast about the spanking he just took from The New York Times!

Savor the moment, Don.

Glory days!
