‘Sleepy Donald’?: Trump accused of dozing off at Memorial Day event, reigniting age concerns

A video appearing to show Donald Trump falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony sparked outrage online. Social media users claimed Trump was dozing off, and furious that it could take place at a ceremony to honour fallen US military personnel, as Trump often attacks Joe Biden as “Sleepy Joe.” Though the low-quality video is difficult to verify, it’s reignited rumours about Trump’s health, following his fourth health check since returning to office.

  1. there have been several videos of him sleeping during speeches. it is not AI fake and it is not him "just blinking" – THAT is the fake news.

  2. Falling asleep during a speech about people he called "loosers" and "suckers", shocking.

    I mean its shocking that anyone ever voted for him.

  3. Well if you consider the fact that he is a draft dodger… that he refused to go to a cemetery for those that died during D Day… and his repeated comments about Veterans dying as losers… is it any surprise that he can't stay awake during a ceremony for fallen Veterans??? Just an honest observation from veteran…

  4. He's 80 and loves to stay up late meme posting, it not surprising that he dozes off in these meetings. The issue is that he criticized Biden for the same thing and loves to lie about everything.

  5. 80 year old who gets about 3 hours sleep every night. Add the fact that he is a malignant narcissist who feels zero interest in the troops that gave their lives in service of their nation. He is bored stiff and frustrated to not be the centre of attention, of course he is going to nod off. Disgraceful short fingered vulgarian.
