A journalist from the Reuters news agency who was present posted a photo of Trump sleeping on the social media platform This was probably intended to make it clear that Donald Trump wasn’t sleeping.
As early as December 2025, the US President appeared to have fallen asleep during a cabinet meeting. At that time, he subsequently defended himself against the accusations and made it clear that he had not slept, but was just bored, as was the case «9News» writes. Donald Trump has not yet commented on the latest sleep allegations.
During the presidential election campaign in 2024, Donald Trump referred to his predecessor, former US President Joe Biden, as “Sleepy Joe” several times. This is because Joe Biden often looked sleepy or appeared to be asleep. (nib)
