President Donald Trump took a swipe at former President Joe Biden for “sleeping all the time” — despite being flamed just weeks ago by his own critics for seemingly nodding off on the job.
Images hit the internet earlier this month of Trump appearing to struggle to stay awake during a Nov. 6 meeting at the White House. In the photos, Trump can be seen closing his eyes and also covering them multiple times.
Trump has nonetheless repeatedly referred to Biden as “Sleepy Joe,” and brought up Biden’s sleep again during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday in the Oval Office.
“[The crown prince] does not sleep much, and I don’t sleep much. I think we have the same schedule,” Trump told a reporter who asked how the president manages his time.
Trump then saw an opportunity to insult his predecessor.
