Trump, 79, Admits He Was Falling Asleep During War Planning Meeting

Donald Trump has admitted falling asleep during a planning meeting for his war on Iran.

At a a rally Wednesday in Kentucky, the 79-year-old president told how he was nodding off as officials and generals discussed the codename that would be used for the conflict, which has so far cost the lives of seven American service members.

“They gave me a list of names to choose. ‘Sir, you could pick the name you’d like, sir.’ I said ‘The name of what?’ ‘The name of the attack on Iran, sir,’” Trump told the crowd.

“And they gave me, like, 20 names, and I’m like, falling asleep. I didn’t like any of them. Then I see ‘Epic Fury.’ I said, ‘I like that name. I like that name.’”

“I mean, you can’t wake him up. Also, the cameras are running. Everybody is in a low-level panic now all of the time about Trump falling asleep because then he gets mad,” Wolff said on the Inside Trump’s Head podcast in December. “He gets angry. He essentially blames the people around him for the fact that he fell asleep.”

How ‘bout “WAKE THE FUCK UP, you ASSHOLE! You’re ON DUTY for the AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!”

I could also use that for any number of sycophants who are afraid to wake him up because he’d get mad at ‘em. Fuck that!!! Cuz THEY, too, are on duty for the American people.
