“Appearing to close his eyes” you bunch Trump dick sucking sycophants. He’s DEFINITELY sleeping. Biden never did anything remotely close to this and yet you constantly ran stories about his age and health. Get fucked you yellow journalist hacks.

Or instead of blaming plainly visible events on "appears to" and "opponents say", you motherfuckers could do your JOB and call a thing a thing. "The guy fell asleep in mid-day DURING AN EVENT at work." Real journalists are there to TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, not just SEEM things at us.

I’m giving it until Tuesday until you start running “many presidents were known to sleep during meetings for example Teddy Roosevelt who was manly like Trump”

His. Eyes. Are. Fucking. Closed. Not "appearing" to be closed. The accompanying photo shows them literally closed. You could write, accurately, that he "appears" to be asleep. We can't know for sure.

Remember when it was just imposing tariffs on Antarctica penguins? Feels like a lifetime ago. His toying with America like all his shady businesses is going to leave America bankrupt. He seems to doll out taxpayer $$ for his vanity projects, legal fees & bribes. ‘Make America a Democracy Again’.

Appears, allegedly, weasels words to blunt the impact of having a barking mad, failing, incompetent, nincompoop would be dictator. CNN is part of the pablum spewing mamby-pamby bullshit artists of medias enabling this farce to go on and on and on.

If the president is unwell and unable to perform the duties of the office, that is a big fucking deal that affects all of us and leaves us vulnerable. Just stop with the horse race bullshit. Report the facts and what it means for the American people. Not which party is “winning.”

It appears as if you have posted this post. It appears that the sun came up this morning. It appears that shoes go on feet. It appears as if a refrigerator is a machine made to keep perishable food from spoiling. It appears that CNN has the backbone of a mollusk.

"Appearing to close his eyes"? They're photographs! What other possible explanation is there? Is there some meteorological phenomenon that creates the illusion of eyelids? Jesus Christ, you can just say his eyes were closed!

BREAKING: Everyone at CNN has been struck blind. They can't see Trump's eyes closed as he napped during an Oval Office event (where he also ignored a man collapsing on the floor as RFK Jr. fled).

“Appearing?” Your failure to call out facts when it comes to that treasonous lump of nothing is disgusting. He fell asleep, again! He LIED, again! He pissed on the Constitution, again! He broke the law, again! He is mentally unstable & destroying our country & you folks are fine with it.

Please- if that photo was snapped of Biden, you’d already have had 20 gerontologists, Alan Dershowitz, and 3 shrinks to all talk about aging,senility and if the president should have been removed from power 4 months ago. And you’d spank off on that idea for the next 3 years.

Last night I closed my eyes for eight hours. If the media weren't embarrassing lickspittle cowards, they might even say he clearly, obviously slept through the whole thing, as he usually does. When you write a story, think, "How would I put this if it was a Democrat?" Then do that. Cowards.

“Appearing” to close his eyes? Oh FFS - he dozed off! This is what’s wrong with the media - you soft shoe around this guy instead of just flat out stating the facts.

"Appearing to" ? Why the weasel words when we can all literally see what is happening? Are you that fucking scared of him that you can't even say what is plain as day to everyone?

"Appearing to close his eyes" is the mealy-mouthiest bullshit leading into "other Presidents closed their eyes at times" both-sidesing I've sadly come to expect from a "news" organization not reporting the actual fucking facts. To repeat for the ratio: this is bullshit, not "reporting". JFC YFP!

If you're going to use this phrasing, at least be consistent throughout your coverage. "Appearing to dodge the question," and "appearing to accept a bribe from" should be how you characterize other objectively true and obvious actions this guy is taking.

He’s asleep and Reagan-ing out every time he’s seen in public. Joe Biden had a bad debate performance and Jake Tapper claimed it was the greatest presidential scandal since Watergate. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is clearly falling apart and it’s being covered up while Stephen Miller runs Washington.

#ConspiracyTheory 5 on why “appearing” is exactly the right word: He’s like a camel with 2 sets of eyelids. Only the inner eyelids are closed. (Camel’s inner eyelids protect against sandstorms. His protect against boring stuff.) …more #ConspiracyTheories to follow. Please add you own.

#ConspiracyTheory 3 on why “appearing” is exactly the right word: These pictures are obviously Photoshopped. He was awake & alert the whole time. In fact, the man NEVER sleeps. And, he never blinks either …more #ConspiracyTheories to follow. Please add you own.

You can just report that he keeps falling asleep in meetings, because we can all see it. You don’t have to say his opponents are accusing him of it. He’s constantly failing to stay awake in Oval Office meetings. Just say it. Stop lying.

He was sleeping. Trying desperately to keep his eyes open. Honestly, it’s probably not the biggest deal ever, but why lie? Why call it “closing his eyes”? Are you afraid of losing access? Journalism is dead at CNN. Has been for a while now.
