‘Commander-in-Sleep’, Trump Mocked over Oval Office Nap Controversy; White House Issues Strange Clarification
The administration said Trump was blinking as a widely shared video appeared to show his eyes closed for about 17 seconds.
- On Monday, the White House Rapid Response account claimed President Donald Trump was merely 'blinking' during a maternal health event, despite video appearing to show his eyes shut for approximately 17 seconds.
- The administration's aggressive defense backfired after insulting a journalist as an 'absolute moron,' ensuring the 'blinking' explanation became a viral meme and shifted focus from the policy briefing.
- MS NOW's Morning Joe hosts and Democratic Representative Ted Lieu mocked the defense, highlighting the irony that Trump repeatedly ridiculed former President Joe Biden as 'Sleepy Joe' for similar incidents.
- Scrutiny of the 79-year-old president's fatigue intensified, contrasting sharply with his past assertion that the public would 'never see me sleeping in front of cameras.'
- Records indicate Trump has allegedly fallen asleep at least 13 times during his second term at various public meetings and official events, according to critics.
