According to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), President Joe Biden is clearly not as energetic or physically fit as his predecessor because he needs five hours of sleep every night.
HuffPost notes that McCarthy was trying to compare Biden to Trump on Sean Hannity’s nightly Fox show, but things went terribly wrong:
“McCarthy was attempting to make a point about Biden’s energy compared to Donald Trump’s as he scoffed about sleep requirements.
“It’s not known how many hours a night Biden sleeps. But adults typically require seven to nine hours a night, according to the Mayo Clinic.
“’At no time, having known Joe Biden for quite some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump,’ McCarthy told Sean Hannity on Fox News. ‘Donald Trump didn’t need to sleep five hours a night.'”

But as many on Twitter noted in response to McCarthy’s comments, sleep helps prevent dementia in the elderly and is shown to increase mental acuity. Others were sure to remind the California Republican that Trump has long been suspected of using drugs that interfere with the ability to sleep. That led to #Adderall to trend on social media within hours of McCarthy’s comments:

Manic is not exactly what I look for in a President.
“Mania is a psychological condition that causes a person to experience unreasonable euphoria, very intense moods, hyperactivity, and delusions.”
Like delusions of having won an election he lost…

And thank god Joe Biden doesn’t have to tweet for 19 hours a day! Stfu @GOPLeader, Donny was a glutinous hot mess. Give up the lie it’s too late he has already destroyed the Republican Party of Q! You’re clinging onto what little you have and the “Silent majority” is long gone.👋🏻

@CaslerNoel worked with him on The Apprentice and talks about his use of Adderall. According to him, those bumps you see on each side of Trump’s nose are from type of surgery due to long term use of stimulants.
