Trump takes a long blink during the NBA Finals pic.twitter.com/uValJdTJWJ— MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) June 9, 2026A yell by Knicks owner James Dolan appeared to rouse him at least temporarily.“WAKE TF UP,” wrote Ocasio-Cortez, a reliable nemesis of the president who brought her trolling A-game.WAKE TF UP https://t.co/0aPlrTrqfl— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 9, 2026Advertisement
Others called out the heavily booed Trump for prompting inconvenient crowd-control measures just by attending ― and then appearing to catch some ZZZs like it was a cabinet meeting or something. (He missed part of a game that came down to the final seconds before the Knicks lost.)He’s been caught getting extended shut-eye, or “blinking” as his staff likes to frame it, on multiple occasions while questions about his age swirl.But doing it amid 20,000 or so screaming fans while being fully aware cameras are on him?Yeah, “The Nodfather” got posterized.A squad of responders to AOC’s social media dagger were happy to do it:Shut down half of New York, got the whole building booed, and then fell asleep. The most expensive nap in American history. 😭 pic.twitter.com/dBzHgMr1JW— Pipi (@aonepipi) June 9, 2026Advertisement
