J.D. Vance Brags About Trump's Appalling Lack of Sleep

"If a friend was pulling all-nighters, sleeping less than four hours a night, bullying subordinates to do the same, and regularly posting incoherent social-media tirades at 2 a.m., you'd probably urge them to seek help. But apparently when the president of the United States does it, it's good - nay, impressive! During a Thursday night appearance on Hannity, Vice-President J.D. Vance said he's lucky that due to Secret Service protocols he can't travel with the president, as President Trump forces Cabinet members to go without sleep, just like him."

""They are always like, 'You're so lucky because if we go on a 20-hour trip somewhere, he does not sleep the entire time,'" Vance said. "And of course if he's not sleeping, if he's working, he expects everybody else to be working too." "The energy that the guy has is really off the charts," Vance claimed."

"A moment later, Vance expressed faux sympathy for Joe Biden, saying that for all his issues with his administration, he wonders if the poor guy had the "physical and mental ability to stay on top" of everything the comes at the president. "The answer is no, of course not," Vance said. "And that's the one thing that, agree or disagree with President Trump about a given issue, every Democrat and every Republican I think deep down would recognize, that [Trump] is a guy who has the energy to do the job. That's a very, very rare thing.""

The president reportedly pulls all-nighters, sleeping fewer than four hours most nights, posting incoherent late-night social-media tirades, and expects staff to match his wakefulness. Secret Service protocols can prevent some officials from traveling with him, and long trips sometimes involve the president remaining awake through 20-hour stretches while Cabinet members are pressured to do the same. Allies praise the president's stamina as a rare and job-enabling energy. Observers questioned another leader's physical and mental capacity to manage similar demands and raised concerns about staff well-being and workplace pressure.
