The message to Americans: Eat all the bad food that the American processed fake food industry offers you. Don't make any effort at all to eat right. The American pharmaceutical industry is there to help: One pill of a brand new chemical poison and all the bad food you eat simply disappears from your body. You won't even need Obamacare to treat your obesity, diabetes, swollen ankles, and defective kidneys, thanks to Trump and his corporate buddies.
Awakened from his slumber by the collapse behind him of a weight-loss patient taking the famed pill in question, Donald Dumb looked stoically annoyed by the event. But he was still sleepy and dazed (Mohammad Oz's voice must be soothing), so he stood there as if stricken by Yahweh into a statue of salt at

MSNBC’s Jen Psaki Roasts Trump for ‘Nodding Off’ in Oval as Dr. Oz ‘Talked About Dementia, Obesity, and Sleep Loss’
MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki roasted President Donald Trump for “nod(ding) off” during an Oval Office event as “of all things, really, dementia, obesity, and sleep loss” were being discussed.
It's bedtime, and Mohammed Oz was singing a lullaby about a miracle "Fat Drug". One nappy change and it's Goodnight Moon for baby Don]
Trump went viral with his reaction to a medical emergency that unfolded live during a press conference on what he calls “fat drugs” on Wednesday.
On Wednesday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki, the host zeroed in on another moment from that event, as Trump was filmed slumped in his chair with his eyes closed during comments by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services:
PSAKI: All right. So, it has been just 48 hours since Republicans suffered pretty humiliating, crushing defeats in elections literally all across the country. And when any White House experiences a humiliating defeat. And believe me, I’ve been part of those, the instinct is often most of the time to change the subject. I mean, roll out a new policy, hold a big event, make any announcement of any kind, basically to get people to talk about anything other than the absolute shellacking that you just took at the polls.
But apparently, the announcement this White House settled on today didn’t even really seem to keep the president of the United States awake.

MEHMET OZ, CMS ADMINISTRATOR: Americans will lose 135 million pounds by the midterms but I don’t measure it in pounds. I measure it in save lives.
People can sleep again because they can breathe when they go to bed. Folks whose knees don’t hurt, people who don’t have heart attacks, renal failure, dementia, all the things we know are associated with obesity, and much more.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
PSAKI: I don’t know if you just saw Donald Trump, like on the side of the screen there. We maybe should have done like a big red circle or something there. But I’m sure you saw it. I mean, that was him in the White House today, basically appearing to nod off while his surgeon general talked about, of all things, really, dementia, obesity and sleep loss. I mean, it kind of feels a little too on the nose, doesn’t it?
Can we just let’s just go back for a second to what doctor oz was saying there before the president started to lose interest?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
OZ: Mr. President, our estimate based on the company numbers as well, is Americans will lose 135 million pounds by the midterms.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
PSAKI: That didn’t catch his interest either. But yes, you heard it. Dr. Oz is promising that Americans will lose 135 billion pounds by the midterms. That’s a lot of pounds in a short period of time.
Look, I’m not an expert on weight loss. I’m not even a mathematician. But I do know there are about 340 million people in the United States. So, for this country to collectively lose 135 billion pounds, that would mean that every American would have to lose an average of 397 pounds each. And that would be big news because it’s basically impossible.
Okay, so this event was extremely weird to begin with. And then this happened.

DAVID RICKS, CEO, ELI LILLY: For nearly 150 years, my company, Eli Lilly, has been investing in America. We’ve been advancing science and creating high value jobs. But today we — oh, are you okay? Gordon, are you okay?
(INAUDIBLE)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
PSAKI: Now, that was the moment today when a guest at that event who was reportedly a weight loss drug patient collapsed. Now, that kind of thing does happen at White House events from time to time. People are standing for a long time. Sometimes it’s hot and the man is reportedly okay, which is definitely very good news.
But what was notable this time was how the president just kind of awkwardly stood there, stared at him as after it happened, that’s what he, that’s what he did kind of the whole time. I mean, did he understand what had happened? Did he not care? Was he happy to just stand by as things were literally collapsing around him?
The metaphors are kind of too long to list here, but that event gave us a lot to work with. But that is definitely how Trump appears to be coping with this week’s election losses. Just sort of spacing out as his party collapses.
And to be fair, I mean, everyone is coping, I guess, in their own way.
