Donald Trump is now officially the first president to face a criminal trial, accused of falsifying business records to cover up a cover up – namely paying Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged sexual encounter.

Trump denies all the charges.

Having sex with Donald J. Trump is not a crime. (Although in a just world, it would be.)

The #TrumpTrial is not about sex, it is about covering up sex with fraudulent business records to influence an election. And that *is* a crime.

Judge Juan Merchan threatened to jail Trump if he causes a commotion in court or fails to attend any of the sessions. He didn’t say anything about what might happen if the defendant formerly known as ‘Mr President’ decided to take a nap.

Honestly, let him sleep.
Wheel him into a fake Oval Office on the back nine of Trump National, tell him he’s the president, hand him a Diet Coke and a hamberder, play a nature video, quietly close the door, and walk away.#SleepyDon pic.twitter.com/jupvKVGrNa

To be clear, "Sleepy Joe" is awake and criss-crossing the country, while Trump is literally asleep at his own criminal trial. https://t.co/3QtWYhc3Bi

Jesus Suffering F if Biden fell asleep at something even remotely comparable to a trial that could end with him going to prison like Trump just did IT WOULD BE THE ONLY THING ON TELEVISION, THE INTERNET AND EXTRA SENSORY COMMUNICATION

If Trump is too old and weak to stay awake at his own criminal trial, what do you think will happen in the Situation Room? pic.twitter.com/5sM8ghcD9b
