The verbal irony in the text suggests that Donald is likely implying the opposite of what he says. By stating "Sleeping through the rooster's crowing was no problem" while joking with a yawn, he suggests that he may not have actually slept well, contrary to what he claims. Therefore, the best answer is:

Donald slept poorly.
