'Napocalypse Now'

"During a live televised press briefing on sleep disorders, obesity, and dementia — a press conference that could have been titled Donald, This Is Literally About You: Please Blink Twice If You Understand."

"But President Napoleon Bone-Apart-From-Reality, seated like a bloated Renaissance bishop awaiting confession, simply slipped into the void with the kind of ease that comes from decades of surviving on rage, ego, and whatever Gargamelian goo is leaking out of his adrenal glands."

"While the Surgeon General stood calmly to his left explaining the symptoms of cognitive decline, Trump slumped in his chair, trying to summon his last living neuron like a séance medium reaching out to the ghost of basic alertness."

"His eyelids were on a two-second delay. His neck wilted like an old houseplant. His face did that vacant, glassy stare thing people do right before they either fucking die or drop a racist slur at Thanksgiving and blame it on the boxed wine."

"It was a full-body surrender, right there on camera, during an event that was about how that exact thing is a red flag."

Art Buchwald even wrote a book titled "While Reagan Slept".
In it he pointed out that the nation was better off when Reagan was sleeping, than when he was awake.
