Good morning, TBR community! Let's start today with a poll of our own. Do you prefer conscious or unconscious Trump, and why?

With all due respect Andy, I’d prefer a head of lettuce to an unconscious or conscious Trump. Just my personal preference…:)

I prefer unconscious Trump who is pushed around on a gurney because I think it would be best for everyone involved if he can’t speak.

True. I heard eight out of ten narcoleptic’s prefer Trump as president. They said they feel Trump is just like them….:)

I'd love to see a conscious Trump doing a perp walk. He can sleep for 5 to 10.

On the whole, I'd prefer a coma, but will take what I can get. I just read he's filed an early motion to count his sleeping as time served against any prison time he might receive. He's willing to swear on a trump bible that he dreams he's in prison during every impromptu nap. And his dreams are realistic. SO realistic. Some say more than anyone's.

True story. Many years ago when I was a prosecutor, a juror looked like this Trump photo during defense testimony one warm afternoon after a big lunch. The defense attorney leapt to his feet. “I move for a mistrial because the juror in the second row fell asleep!” Simultaneously, the judge’s eyes snapped open and his head straightened up as he listened to the blustering defense argument. I managed a response that there was no proof the juror slept or that he would even be aware of it.

At the end, the judge decided, “I overrule your motion. The court noted that all jurors sometimes close their eyes as does the court (truly often) from time to time. I take judicial notice, based on my experience, that this posture merely reflects someone’s deep contemplation of the proceedings.”

And anxiously awaiting the big drool spot to show up on his shirt.

A top campaign aid said “Between now and the election we need to keep Mr.Trump on a steady drip of warm milk, chamomile tea and Ambien.”

Unconscious Trump is preferable by far; however would love to see him awake for all the guilty verdicts in his future!

The UMinn Survey needs another choice: A. Conscious Trump, B. Unconscious Trump, C, None of the above.. My hubby is still hopeful that one day, his head will spontaneously explode, and I would be with Robert J and have it replaced by a head of lettuce. Oh please, DT just lettuce alone.

A sleeping Trump is good, but a jailed Trump is better; convict the grifter.

What I really prefer is not seeing 30 articles a day about Trump. It is all free publicity

Unconscious! He would no longer be adding to the dumbing down of America!

Has he ever been fully conscious?
