Jesse Watters Cracks Up Critics With Wild Reason For Trump's Courtroom Shut-Eye
HuffPost
The Fox News host insists the former president isn't sleeping during his trial.
Jesse Watters says Donald Trump’s not snoozing through his criminal trial — he’s in a “meditative state.”
The Fox News host offered up the suggestion Wednesday on “The Five” while panelists were criticizing media coverage of the former president’s hush money trial.
“He’s meditating,” Watters said. “He’s in a meditative state. When you’re defensive about something, you avoid something. Trump’s not defensive of being old and tired.”
“He can shut his eyes and not feel bad about it like Sleepy Joe,” he added, using a derogatory nickname for President Joe Biden.
Trump has reportedly been sitting at the defense table with his eyes closed for long stints of the trial, which is in its fifth week.
