Overview
- The Comedy Central video was posted on Christmas Eve and compiles footage of President Trump appearing to nod off during public events.
- The montage runs 10 minutes and 12 seconds, is set to Silent Night, and carries the caption, "Merry Christmas to all, and to Donald Trump, good night."
- Archival Trump sound bites question who could sleep in front of the media and are juxtaposed with clips showing him closing his eyes.
- The piece also includes Trump’s past mockery of Joe Biden for dozing, framing the contrast as part of the joke.
- Media figures have targeted these moments for more than a year, with Stephen Colbert joking in April 2024 about a "white power nap," and Alternet noting recent Republican chatter about the president’s sleep habits.
