This week marks the third time in recent weeks that Donald Trump has been accused of appearing to fall asleep during official meetings. During Tuesday\u2019s lengthy Cabinet session, the 79-year-old president was seen with his eyes drooping as members spoke, quickly prompting online ridicule and the nickname \u201cCommander in Sleep.\u201d The meeting lasted more than two hours and covered topics ranging from drug trafficking to immigration and foreign policy.<\/p>\n
Early in the session, Trump strongly defended his health, criticizing the media for what he called unfair scrutiny. He insisted he remains energetic, sharp, and actively engaged, dismissing speculation about his well-being. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back on claims that Trump had nodded off, stating that he was \u201clistening attentively and running the entire Cabinet meeting.\u201d
\nShe emphasized his lengthy press appearances and recent exchanges with reporters as proof of his stamina. Trump\u2019s health has recently drawn renewed attention after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz urged him to release MRI results. The White House later disclosed that Trump\u2019s scan was \u201cperfectly normal,\u201d with no issues of concern.<\/p>\n
Trump joked that reporters would be the first to know if anything were wrong. Despite the administration\u2019s defense, social media users continued to circulate clips from the meeting, reinforcing the \u201csleeping\u201d narrative. The moment has added to growing public debate over Trump\u2019s energy, transparency, and ability to maintain focus during extended official sessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
