Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney went to great lengths to boast of Donald Trump’s lack of sleep on the president’s recent trip to India. Mulvaney said Trump had gone 48 hours without sleep before addressing the nation on coronavirus.

Mulvaney is probably lying. Trump didn’t sleep for 48 hrs? I don’t believe it. But even if that’s true, why the hell would that be a good thing? But the sheer idolatry here is gross…talking about Trump like he’s a God. Bullshit. All Trump does is watch TV & tweet.

It’s a cult. https://t.co/SV3cXrWP4S

Why brag that the man with the nuclear codes never sleeps? This is not an achievement but an ailment. Most people would see a doctor. These are not comforting words for a nation already on edge.
