President Trump is fuming after coverage comparing him to “Sleepy Joe.” Patrick Gutfield breaks down Trump nodding off in Cabinet meetings, the mysterious bruises, the angry denials, and the full irony of a president who once branded Biden as tired now drifting off during his own workday. Plus: Trump’s chaotic Kennedy Center takeover, a MAGA-fied Honors gala, and a wild food-fight protest at the Tower of London involving apple crumble and custard. Only in 2025.

From Washington DC where it’s not only the weather that’s frightful, this is Ballot. Melania’s Christmas décor goes full Tim Burton with mugshot LEGOs, butterfly swarms, and candelabras fit for a haunted mansion. Portland lights “the tree” — carefully avoiding the word Christmas — amid chants, land acknowledgments, and performance-art politics. And in New York, the city’s Christmas tree titans wage a turf war straight out of The Sopranos. Turns out holiday cheer comes with muscle.

Trump’s latest economic sermon turns into verbal Twister as “affordability” becomes both his favorite word and his sworn enemy. JD Vance gets roasted to his face while trying not to blink. And in a sharp detour, we head to America’s emergency rooms, where marijuana users are learning the word “scromiting.” It’s economic whiplash, political humiliation, and medical horror — all in one festive package.

President Trump’s marathon Cabinet session devolves into doodles, typos, third-person motivational speeches, and a boom-mic Q&A nobody asked for. Russell Vought is drawing Bob Ross landscapes, Pete Hegseth arrives as the “ssecretary of war,” and Trump tries to prove he’s “sharp” by saying “Trump is sharp.” The meeting ends with table-slapping, shoulder-thumping, and enough chaos to qualify as an office Christmas party gone horribly wrong.

President Trump unleashes a late-night, one-hundred-sixty-post Truth Social rampage featuring conspiracy theories, political enemies, and his Home Alone 2 cameo… because why not. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth turns Franklin the Turtle into a festive war criminal. And Washington loses its mind because Usha Vance wasn’t wearing her wedding ring at a volunteer event. From DC where you should wear your wedding ring — seriously, wear it — this is Ballot. Portions of today’s show were made with the help of A.I.

A bombshell report says Trump has gutted his schedule by nearly forty percent, is rolling into “official duties” after lunchtime, and keeps dozing through appearances — all while insisting he’s in peak shape after a mysterious MRI he can’t quite explain. The White House calls it transparency. Critics call it a presidential siesta.
