Donald Trump released a new campaign video on Friday, featuring Bill Clinton, who appears to doze off during his wife's primetime acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

"Even Bill Clinton is tired of the lies, SAD!" Trump tweeted, with a link to his video on Instagram.


His new ad came after conservative media outlets were gleefully sharing the footage earlier on Friday.

Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Infowars and The Gateway Pundit all featured posts linking to a video uploaded by NTK Network of Bill Clinton sitting next to vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, with his head dropping and his eyes closed — though it's not clear if the footage is doctored in any way, or if the former president is simply soaking in the historic moment.

Conservative Outfitters even featured a poll for readers to decide whether or not Bill Clinton was actually taking a cat nap.

The media outlets particularly seized on the idea that Bill fell asleep as Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state, was delivering a line about the fight against the Islamic State.

"The former secretary of state was saying, 'We will disrupt their efforts online to reach and radicalize young people in our country. It won’t be easy or quick, but make no mistake – we will prevail,'" Daily Caller said in its post. "Apparently, Bill Clinton did not prevail over the desire to sleep."

Bill Clinton definitely pepped up later in the night — Twitter had a field day with images of the 42nd president frolicking with balloons on Thursday night as the festivities wrapped up.
