Trump’s droning proclamations, in fact, have the internet wondering whether the President himself is on autopilot this morning, or whether he perhaps missed a dose of his ADHD pills. The Vice President seems to be suffering from whatever affliction has befallen the room at the UN today, his own eyes barely open a half-centimeter more than Trump’s, either of them easily blindfolded with a shoelace at this point:

He is an ancient being, full of the kind of lengthy experience that makes it okay for him to apparently fall asleep in EVERY meeting, according to a report in Politico back in June.
