California Gov. Gavin Newsom has attacked President Donald Trump as “Dozy Don,” sharing a brief clip of the commander-in-chief appearing to close his eyes during a White House Antifa roundtable on Wednesday.
Newsom has weaponized his official Press Office X account and his own Instagram account in recent months to launch ruthless parodies of Trump’s own eccentric posting style. His latest effort is an obvious nod to the president’s own cruel broadsides against his predecessor, Joe Biden, whom he regularly referred to as “Sleepy Joe” as part of his argument that the Democrat was too old to serve a second term at 81 years of age.
Now, the oldest occupant of the White House, himself at 79, Trump has an undeniably exhausting schedule. He did appear to perk up when Secretary of State Marco Rubio informed him during the same event that Israel and Hamas were close to agreeing on a peace deal for Gaza. The president subsequently announced this last night, inviting fresh calls for him to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
MAGA mainstays JD Vance and Kid Rock have previously revealed that Trump is in the habit of calling them at odd hours of the night, and Attorney General Pam Bondi recently reflected on his apparent lack of sleep during a recent appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast.
