What Is Going On In Trump's Mind As He Stares @ King Of Morocco Sleeping In an Event in France (video)

Dozens of world leaders met in the French capital last Sunday for the opening of the inaugural Paris Peace Forum, hosted by French President, Emmanuel Macron. Donald Trump appeared to glare at the King of Morocco after he appeared to fall asleep during Emmanuel Macron’s Armistice Day speech. TV cameras captured Mohammed VI slumped with his head bowed and his eyes closed at the gathering of world leaders to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War.

Mr Trump’s expression was described on social media as a “side-eye death stare” or “stink eye”. He had earlier sat stony-faced as Mr Macron warned of the dangers of nationalism during a 20-minute speech next to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris.

In the first half we weren’t aggressive enough. We controlled their triggers. I’ve never seen Jorginho play so little as he did today. “After the 2-1 we had great positions to score the third goal and I hope every referee does the same as Mike Dean to give 6 minutes. “Normally when I’m losing I don’t have 5 or 6 or 7 minutes,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.  He also spoke on his bust-up with Chelsea coach, Marco Ianni, after Barkley scored.
