“These are my praises for sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump said. Fox News Hosting Laura Ingraham in an interview recorded on Tuesday. “He went to the beach and lay on his bed. He barely managed to step into the sand. He lay down and within a few minutes he was sleeping and looking at the camera.”
“I couldn't do that,” Trump continued. “I can never sleep like that. That's the only thing I think is great. It was a disaster, this guy was a disaster.”
