Trump is dozing off during hush money trial now that jury has been chosen.

As the trial of former President Donald Trump entered its fourth day, all eyes were on Manhattan Supreme Court where the historic hush money case was being heard. However, it seemed that Trump was not entirely invested in the proceedings as reports emerged that he had fallen asleep once again during the tedious process of jury selection.

According to witnesses, Trump appeared to doze off early in the morning, just like he had done on the first day of the trial. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who was live-blogging the trial, noted that Trump's eyes were closed for extended periods and his head even dropped down a couple of times. It was a strange sight to see the former president catching some z's in the midst of such a monumental event.

About an hour later, Haberman observed that Trump had once again fallen asleep in court. This time, his Trump Social social media feed was active, with Trump himself seemingly unaware of his own dozing. He was busy posting about being victimized by the proceedings and insisting on his immunity in the federal case against him for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election.

Despite these moments of drowsiness, Trump did seem to pay attention when a prospective juror from New York began answering a questionnaire. According to Haberman, his "attention was piqued" and he watched intently as the process continued, with alternate jurors being selected. It was a tense and emotional day in court, as several potential jurors broke down in tears.

One of them was a woman who had served time in prison in another state and had been summoned for jury duty multiple times. As her voice cracked while discussing accountability, Trump turned around to look at her. The woman bravely shared her own experiences, saying "that's what I went through." The judge, Justice Juan Merchan, dismissed her from the jury pool and she left with a parting wish of "good luck," which elicited laughter from the overflow room.

Despite the serious nature of the trial, it was clear that Trump's presence in the courtroom was anything but dull. His moments of dozing off, followed by brief periods of intense attention, only added to the already dramatic atmosphere of the historic event.
