JoJofromJerz had the best name for the lastest news about Trump: Napocalypse Now. All of you must read this Substack from JoJofromJerz (click here). I don’t know how even she can top this one for her always funny, acerbic wordsmithing about Trump. She makes me not even want to try to be snarky, let alone to see if I can come up with one or two lines which I think are amusing, let along gut busting laugh out loud hysterical. Check it out:
Her subtitle is damn good, too: “face-planted into dreamland during a press conference on dementia.”
JOJOFROM JERZ is the online persona of Joanne Carducci. She was a suburban mom from New Jersey, but now is a prominent Substacker and podcaster where she writes
Here’s an article about her. She has 237k follower on Instagram here and a million on X here.
I won’t even begin to try to write anything clever about Trump being caught on camera napping and express how, for the first time since he was elected, I actually feel good about anything in Trump world. As JoJo might say, this fucken delights me.
The results of the 2025 election don’t come anywhere close to having made me feel as good as this narcoleptic news about the nattering nabob of narcissism. That alliteration is the best I even want to try to foist off readers as being clever after reading JoJo.
I couldn’t come close to writing sentences like these:
He’s anti-woke like he heard Dr. Oz say “People can sleep again” and immediately took it as a fucking directive from the sleep gods, then attempted to achieve full unconsciousness during a press conference.
But President Napoleon Bone-Apart-From-Reality, seated like a bloated Renaissance bishop awaiting confession, simply slipped into the void with the kind of ease that comes from decades of surviving on rage, ego, and whatever Gargamelian goo is leaking out of his adrenal glands.
And for a split second, Trump twitched upright — like someone hit the defibrillate button on a microwaved pot roast.
A moment so saturated in unintentional symbolism it belongs in a museum next to the Emancipation Proclamation and a can of Barbasol steaming in the glove box of a Dodge Neon outside a Cracker Barrel.
And don’t even get me started on the cankles — those puffy, defiant ankle-calves that look like they’re smuggling two Costco rotisserie chickens under house arrest.
I want to make sure that none of my readers miss this particular JoJo Substack and consider following her.
There are lots of excellent writers on Substack. One is my friend Sabrina Haake. Steve Schmidt is another who wields a sharp rhetorical sword. Here’s his piece on Trump’s reaction to the man collapsing in the Oval Office. Jeff Teidrich is fun to read but he thinks using fuck and shit throughout a piece is humor when it is just venting. For example his Substack about the same topic as this which he titled “what the fuck is wrong with this guy” here.
I have nothing more to write about this. I can’t take credit for the images Perchance AI made. I can take credit for this AI request:
I don’t have to explain why I decided to ask for this particular image. On the very first try I came up with six images. I thought the two in the upper left might serve as a primary illustration but then figured, what the hell, I decided that I’d share them all.
Her are two that came up when I used the same request to be made in a cartoon version.
I know I don’t need to elaborate why I asked for clowns.
I like that HuffPost used the photo of Trump taken when the person collapsed in the Oval Office on the main page to illustrate this story. With some luck this will be used frequently. It won’t have the beneficial impact (to him) that the mugshot photo did and that his fist-raised photo after a bullet clipped his ear really did. That may have gotten him elected. He wants to have it on a new coin.
We should take what we can get when it is offered to us.
This photo is a gift on a golden platter.
The photo shows two things: that he is fighting a losing battle with the demon of drowsy even when he know there are cameras, and they also demonstrate his I don’t give a crap attitude about people who are suffering.
As if this isn’t enough, here some icing on the Trump snooze-quest news cake. This is a another sleepy time story made even more yummy since Fox News broke it:
Here’s the RawStory article about it: ‘He worse than Biden’: ‘Exhausted’ Trump seen ‘slumping into limo’ amid sleep scandal.
Excerpt:
Just as Donald Trump is trying to shake off a scandal after purportedly being spotted falling asleep in the Oval Office, the president was seen in a video reportedly “exhausted” and “slumping” into his limo.
Trump appeared to doze off during a press conference on Thursday, drawing both mockery and shock from political analysts and other online observers. One night later, he was seen “slumping” into his limo, according to video posted by Fox News and shared by the Daily Beast Saturday.
“President Donald Trump slumped into a waiting limousine after landing in Palm Beach for a Mar-a-Lago weekend on Friday—even as he demanded lawmakers keep at it in Washington, D.C., amid the ongoing government shutdown,” the outlet reported. “In footage captured by Fox News on Friday night, Trump can be seen slowly making his way off Air Force One. He descends the stairs at a cautious pace and raises his fist after completing the task without incident, before almost collapsing into the seat of his waiting car.”
That article includes a reference to this X post about McDonald’s burgers and fries:
This led me to using AI to make this:

Click here for possible reason for Trump’s need to nap >2
These are from Perchance AI:
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It is possible that Trump’s inability to resist dozing off has to do with something other than his age. Lots of people feel a need to nap during the day, often a couple of hours after lunch. An afternoon nap done right can be health (see article).Ronald Reagan believed in the power of naps, incorporating them into his schedule. LBJ Johnson would start his day around 7 a.m. and work until 2 p.m., followed by a nap and rest persion before resuming work at 4 p.m. (reference).
When I had a regular job at a mental health clinic, before having just a private practice at home where I could schedule a nap, I powered through mid-afternoon sleepiness, at did most of my staff, by drinking lots of coffee.
We know Trump has an unusual sleep pattern what with his being up in the wee hours of the mornng rage tweeting.
It is possible he’s been been able to manage with far fewer hours of sleep than is healthy by consuming large amounts of caffeine in his Diet Cokes when he felt drowsy during the day.
What if either Dr. Oz or the physicians who talked to him at his recent physical convinced him to cut back on the Diet Coke ,or stop drinking it completely?
He might have reluctantly admitted to having some urinary urgency or even uriniary incontinence, not uncommon in men his age.
The doctors might have explained that caffeine is a diuretic. This means it can increase urine production. They might have epxlained that very high doses of caffeine are linked to serious health conditions. It can lead to chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and stroke. (Reference)
If a person weighs 165 pounds, a very high dose of caffeine is about 750 milligrams in a day.
Diet Coke contains about 46 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce can. This is higher than the caffeine content in regular Coke which has about 34 mg. It’s been reported (here) that Trump gets four hours of sleep a night and drinks 12 Diet Cokes a day.
Read: “President Trump Reportedly Drinks 12 Diet Cokes a Day. Here’s What That Does to Your Body” in Time.
If Trump quit his caffeinated Diet Coke this could explain why he is napping when caught by camera it will prove embarrassing.
