Donald Trump certainly hasn’t been too quiet during this political “off season”, and his latest missive against “Sleepy Joe” Biden is reminiscent of several attacks he made toward the longtime Democrat during the 2020 election.
Trump, as many of us are very aware, has loved to give nicknames to his political adversaries, with his dig at Biden illustrating his belief that the now-President was too old and too tired to execute the job of Commander in Chief.
Naturally, when Biden appeared to doze off at a recent global climate summit, No. 45 wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to rub a little salt in the wound.
President Biden appeared to fall asleep Monday while listening to a speech at the U.N. climate conference, drawing a jab from the man who dubbed him “Sleepy Joe.”
Former President Trump had a laugh at Mr. Biden’s expense after a video circulated showing the president closing his eyes for about 20 seconds as he sat through opening remarks at the U.N. Conference of the Parties, better known as COP26, in Glasgow, Scotland.
“Biden went to Europe saying Global Warming is his highest priority, and then promptly fell asleep, for all the world to see, at the Conference itself. Nobody that has true enthusiasm and belief in a subject will ever fall asleep!” said Mr. Trump in a statement.
Mr. Biden opened his eyes after another man, presumably an aide, approached and began talking to him.
Biden’s sudden nap was particularly embarrassing after the Democrat had spent years emphasizing the severity of the issue of climate change, leaving many to wonder if his concerns were truly as urgent as he made them out to be.
