Donald Trump has reportedly dozed off during his criminal trial on at least three separate days, but by all accounts he woke up and paid attention when his former pal David Pecker first took the stand. But now Trump no longer even appears able to pay attention to Pecker.

Trump is “struggling to stay awake” during Pecker’s ongoing testimony today, according to legal expert Norm Eisen. Trump is dozing off, then waking back up, then dozing off again. This is a bad, bad sign for Trump.

Pecker is on the stand giving highly damaging testimony about how the two of them criminally conspired to editorially rig the 2016 election. Pecker’s testimony alone is seemingly enough to get a jury to convict Trump. Yet even as Trump’s life is being dismantled in front of him, he’s so far gone cognitively that he can’t pay attention.

Imagine sitting there in the courtroom sleeping while your former friend gives you up to the jury in your criminal trial. Donald Trump is clearly too deep into dementia to be able to remember or understand what’s even happening. He’s just sitting there, passively, while he’s being dismantled.
