Many want Donald Trump to resign.

Just recently, a clip of the POTUS looking sleepy, bored and disinterested is making the rounds online. Several mocked Trump for sleeping, instead of listening to the speaker during the coronavirus meeting.

“This guy calls Joe Biden ‘sleepy Joe’ Watch Donald tRump falling asleep & appearing not to give a crap about the #CoronaCrisis,” @mcspocky wrote on Twitter. “tRump should resign. His response to the #COVID19 pandemic has been a complete FAILURE! Share this to spread his shame.”

“#sleepydonald Can't handle big words and ideas. They make his head tired. Resign, @realDonaldTrump,” @CriedFreeman added.

Meanwhile, others are calling his political rival Joe Biden to use the clip against the president who has been calling him “sleepy Joe.” In 2019, Trump used the moniker again to welcome Biden in the presidential race while questioning his intelligence.

“Welcome to the race Sleepy Joe. I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It will be nasty - you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Trump’s critics are using his sleepy video against him with some wanting Biden to use it in his political ads. They also use the hashtag “#SLEEPYDON” for the sleepy POTUS.

“@JoeBiden should tweet this video every time @realDonaldTrump says ‘Sleepy Joe’. And his campaign should show it as much as they can, whenever they can, wherever they can. And in every damn ad. Non-stop. ‘He’s incompetent AND tired’. #SLEEPYDON,” @AndyOstroy a proud democrat wrote.

“Definitely should be in Joe’s political ads,” another online user agreed.

While many called Trump's response to coronavirus a failure, the POTUS rated himself a perfect 10. However, some were wondering why he did not rate himself 11.

In related news, Trump ignored Barron’s birthday on Twitter. He made several tweets but didn’t drop a message for his son who was celebrating his 14th birthday on Friday.

"Called to resign"

Does anyone honestly think after everything we've seen from Donald Trump that he'd just go "Ah fuck, you're right, I'm not fit to be president, you take this one Pence"

Dude would still hold onto the presidency if he was blind, deaf and dumb.

A Report From the Coronavirus Frontline: “They Are Essentially Drowning in Their Own Blood.”

“Holy shit, I do not want to catch this and I don’t want anyone I know to catch this.”

“It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, ‘Holy shit, this is not the flu.’ Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube and out of his mouth. The ventilator should have been doing the work of breathing but he was still gasping for air, moving his mouth, moving his body, struggling. We had to restrain him. With all the coronavirus patients, we’ve had to restrain them. They really hyperventilate, really struggle to breathe. When you’re in that mindstate of struggling to breathe and delirious with fever, you don’t know when someone is trying to help you, so you’ll try to rip the breathing tube out because you feel it is choking you, but you are drowning.

“When someone has an infection, I’m used to seeing the normal colors you’d associate with it: greens and yellows. The coronavirus patients with ARDS have been having a lot of secretions that are actually pink because they’re filled with blood cells that are leaking into their airways. They are essentially drowning in their own blood and fluids because their lungs are so full. So we’re constantly having to suction out the secretions every time we go into their rooms.” ...

“But we are trying to wean down the settings on the ventilator as much as possible, because you don’t want someone to be on the ventilator longer than they need to be. Your risk of mortality increases every day that you spend on a ventilator. The high pressures from high vent settings is pushing air into the lung and can overinflate those little balloons. They can pop. It can destroy the alveoli. Even if you survive ARDS, although some damage can heal, it can also do long-lasting damage to the lungs. They can get filled up with scar tissue. ARDS can lead to cognitive decline. Some people’s muscles waste away, and it takes them a long time to recover once they come off the ventilator.

To be fair, the meetings are more productive when he's sleeping. Attendants were probably grateful, and especially quiet while working.
