In a lighthearted commentary, Paula Poundstone addresses Donald Trump, humorously suggesting that he needs to prioritize sleep. She recalls a past experience during the 2025 California fires, noting how she learned to save time by sleeping in her clothes.
Poundstone points out Trump’s visible fatigue, especially during press events. She highlights moments when he appears to doze off, often during lengthy speeches from others, like RFK Jr. She finds humor in the idea that these long stories might be his secret to catching up on sleep.
She critiques a recent press gaggle where Trump spoke about taxpayer money and funding for the White House, noting that his lengthy explanations often leave the audience no wiser than before. Instead of rambling, she suggests he could simply ask Bobby to speak and take a nap.
Poundstone emphasizes that Trump would benefit from a more restful approach, advocating for him to embrace sleep rather than engage in unnecessary dialogue. Her comedic take serves as both a critique and a friendly piece of advice for the former president.
