Biden caught sleeping both literally and metaphorically



During the 2020 Presidential election, President Trump had nicknamed his rival Biden as Sleepy Joe.

Noted cartoonist and author Scott Adams coined the term linguistic kill shot. Where the attacker highlights the weakness of the target by branding him with a terse and unique combination of catchy words that are also funny.

It is also important that the words are constantly repeated to create a lasting impression across the board. The goal is to alter the perception of the target irrevocably.

President Trump has successfully used this tool or persuasion to alter perceptions of the likes of Jeb Bush who was branded 'low energy'. 

His nickname Crooked Hillary helped cement the perception against Hillary Clinton of a mendacious, phony, self-serving, and corrupt career politician.

Sleepy Joe was a euphemism for a man whose cognitive abilities were rapidly declining. It may not have worked as effectively as it should have during the 2020 elections because Joe spent most of his time hiding in his basement.

But it was literally proved true when Biden appeared to have fallen asleep during his meeting with the new Israeli leader Naftali Bennett back in September.

Yesterday, Biden once again proved President Trump’s nickname to be prophetic when he appeared to doze off while listening to celebrated black gay South African activist, humanitarian, and public intellectual. Eddie Ndopu.

Ndopu was in the process of warning his audience that Global warming may prevent “our ability to grow food and even to survive.”

Biden’s eyelids drooped for the long spell as Ndopu, said, “I call on you to commit to concrete actions to stop the destruction of this magnificent planet.”

The clip was shared  on Twitter by Washington Post reporter Zach Brown with the caption, “Biden appears to fall asleep during COP26 opening speeches.” 

It is nothing short of astounding that a Washington Post reporter shared a clip that made his boss Joe Biden look bad. We must all worry about the career prospects of Mr. Brown. This is another example of how people get carried away on social media and forget what is good for them.

Perhaps Biden was resting his eyes like Sherlock Holmes often did when Holmes wanted his attention undivided because he was presented with a case compelling. Holmes didn’t want the visuals before his eyes to distract him.

Perhaps it was jetlag, we have all experienced this when we travel to countries in a different time zone. Our sleep routine is disturbed and we find ourselves nodding off during the day.

While it is amusing to watch a leader fall asleep at a conference about issues he claims to take very seriously. It can happen to the best among us.

However, what is serious is the myriad catastrophes that Biden is presiding over.
