Colbert Jokes About Trump Dozing off at the Situation Room After Reports Say He Sleeps When Left Alone by Lawyers at Court

‘He can’t stay awake if he’s alone for 30 seconds?’

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “He lasts only a few furious minutes and then nods off. Trump has fallen asleep so many times at this point that his attorneys are reportedly 'trying a number of different devices' to keep him awake. Yes, many devices, the most successful of which has been nuggets on a string. Is that a real photo? We didn’t mock that up. That’s an actual photo of Donald Trump. One new strategy is that when the legal team sidebars with the judge up at the desk, an attorney doesn’t leave Trump’s side anymore because leaving him alone means leaving him to potentially sleep. He can’t stay awake if he’s alone for 30 seconds? This does not bode well for a second term. 'Mr. President, I want you to know Seal Team 6 is in position to strike. We just need your go-ahead — and he’s fallen asleep again. Tell you what, I’m gonna draw a penis on his forehead. There you go. There you go.'”
