Droopy-eyed Trump perks up in court as potential juror talks about 'The Art of the Deal'

Anapparently exhausted Donald Trump perked up in court Tuesday after a potential juror talked about his books.

Multiple outlets reported for the second day in a row that Trump appeared to be resting his eyes during jury selection in his hush money trial.

"While jurors ran through the long list of questions about their lives and habits, Trump sat in his seat with his eyes closed, head slowly drooping until he snapped his eyes open — at least twice," The Huffington Post reported Tuesday.

But a juror's mention of "The Art of the Deal" seemed to wake the former president.

"Trump is leaning back and reading the questionnaire an inch from his face. He looks tired again, sometimes struggling to keep heavy eyelids open, and perked up when the last potential juror mentioned 'The Art of the Deal,'" Molly Crane-Newman wrote for The New York Daily News.

"Just now Trump smiles and nods as a Jewish prospective juror says he has read two of his books "Art of the Deal" and "How to Get Rich," posted reporter Henry Rosoff of Pix11.

"He asks "Did I get that [title] right?"

Trump had apparently dozed off during the first day of his trial, with several reporters noticing his head dropping down onto his chest.

On the second day, Law360 reporter Frank G. Runyeon posted, "Now: Trump's head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself. Then, his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head droops for a third time, he shakes his shoulders. Eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, he pops his eyes open."
