Trump Appears Drowsy on Camera

US President Donald Trump faced renewed criticism after he appeared to struggle to stay awake during a televised cabinet meeting. The moment came shortly after he claimed he was “sharper than I was 25 years ago.”

He dismissed recent reports by The New York Times that suggested he had slowed during his second term. However, the footage from the meeting told a different story.

Cameras Capture Long Eye Closures

Trump opened the meeting by attacking the media for what he called unfair coverage. He also rejected concerns about his age and stamina. Yet, as cabinet members began delivering detailed briefings, viewers noticed him closing his eyes repeatedly.

His stillness increased as officials from the commerce, agriculture, and treasury departments spoke. The moments became more noticeable when Secretary of State Marco Rubio, seated beside him, addressed the room.

White House Issues Strong Denial

The White House rejected claims that Trump nodded off. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted he was “listening attentively” during the “three-hour marathon meeting.” She said he remained fully engaged and answered questions afterward.

Second Similar Incident in One Month

This is the second time Trump has appeared visibly drowsy during an official event this month. Footage from a November 6 Oval Office meeting showed him fighting to keep his eyes open for nearly 20 minutes. That clip quickly went viral and sparked fresh debates about his energy levels.

Political Impact and Public Reaction

These moments carry political weight because Trump frequently mocked former president Joe Biden as “Sleepy Joe.” He often criticized Biden for looking tired in public. Now, similar images of Trump are reshaping public discussions about age and stamina in leadership.https://globiscope.com
