Did Trump Roll Out of Bed Just Before the Debate?

Published on Oct 20, 2016 at 9:52 PM

The third and final presidential debate started off on a sleepy note. After the candidates took the stage at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, moderator Chris Wallace wasted no time and dove right into questions. As Hillary Clinton addressed the first question, we couldn't help but notice that Donald Trump looked like he just rolled out of bed. His signature side-eye glance was hindered by the fact that he could barely keep his eyes open. Naturally, Twitter started buzzing about Trump's snoozy state, with one user even creating the Twitter handle @Sleepy_Donald.

Did someone give Donald Trump a sedative or is he just really sleepy. #debatenight

I can't tell if Donald trump has a sore throat or if he's just so tired of hearing his own bullshit that he's slowing fading his speech out.

Anyone else think Donald Trump is trying to be calm and try to seem intelligent, but just seems tired?

Wtf? I think Donald Trump is on downers so he doesn't come off as aggressive, instead he is coming off as sleepy. #DebateNight
