Newsom trolls Trump after president’s eyes seen drooping during afternoon event: ‘NAP TIME FOR THE BIG GUY’

Trump also recently appeared to fall asleep at a Cabinet meeting open to the press

California Governor Gavin Newsom has continued to troll Donald Trump after the president’s eyes were seen drooping during an afternoon event with the press at the White House.

Trump signed an executive order Thursday to reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification, which would allow more research into the drug and perhaps expand its medical uses. The recreational use of marijuana is still banned at the federal level.

"We have people begging for me to do this. People who are in great pain,” Trump said at a signing ceremony in the Oval Office accompanied by medical professionals in white coats.

During the event, Trump appeared to drift off while sitting at the Resolute Desk, giving Newsom an opportunity to poke fun at the president...........................

i'm glad they're doing this. the only sensible thing they've done as far as i know. until now, people were still going to jail here in NC for pot. Now all they have to do is secure a medical card.

That's such a weird way to give a press conference. Everyone standing up but him?

Now I've seen other presidents do shots like that but not a whole press conference like that. It comes off very nursing home like. Even without the lab coats he looks like the final picture of grandmother at the nursing home.

He was like this all of the time.

I'd go out and he'd be asleep and come home and he had not moved.

Cause of death was vascular dementia.

Very sad really.

Chump can't go on much longer like this.

I've seen it and lived through it.

& recommend.
