Trump denies sleeping in court and instead closes his ‘beautiful blue eyes’ and listens ‘intensely’

For­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump denied reports that he has been sleep­ing dur­ing his court appear­ances for his New York hush mon­ey tri­al, instead say­ing he does “sim­ply close my beau­ti­ful blue eyes, some­times.”
Trump took to Truth Social on Thurs­day to claim that he lis­tens “intense­ly” and “takes it ALL in” when he momen­tar­i­ly clos­es his eyes while in the Man­hat­tan court­room.

“Con­trary to the FAKE NEWS MEDIA, I don’t fall asleep dur­ing the Crooked D.A.’s Witch Hunt, espe­cial­ly not today,” Trump post­ed. “I sim­ply close my beau­ti­ful blue eyes, some­times, lis­ten intense­ly, and take it ALL in!!!”
Mul­ti­ple reporters at the cour­t­house have not­ed that Trump has closed his eyes and appeared to doze off over var­i­ous days in court.
