President Donald Trump on Thursday made a complaint about former President Joe Biden that couldn’t have come at a worse possible time.

“We had the worst inflation in history under Sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump said. “He was sleeping while you were working. No, he was sleeping while you were trying to get a job, you weren’t working.”

Trump often refers to Biden as “Sleepy Joe” and has accused him of snoozing on the job.

But since returning to the White House, Trump himself has appeared to nod off in public on multiple occasions ― including on Thursday, just hours before he accused Biden of sleeping.

Here’s the president during a meeting of his so-called Board of Peace on Thursday:

Trump has denied dozing in public, last year blaming photographers for snapping their pictures at just the right moment to make it seem as if he were asleep.

“Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink,” he told The Wall Street Journal last month.

But his struggles to stay awake have been caught on video, too ― including on Thursday:

In a separate interview last month, he also denied falling asleep at a recent Cabinet meeting despite images and video of him looking very drowsy.

That meeting, Trump said, was “boring as hell.”

“I’m hearing every word, and I can’t wait to get out,” he told New York Magazine.

Given that background ― and his history of mocking Biden for being “Sleepy Joe” ― the president’s critics were quick to fire back on social media:
