Trump, 79, Napping During His Own Cabinet Meeting

During a recent Cabinet meeting, President Trump appeared visibly fatigued, struggling to maintain alertness. Throughout the session, he shifted between leaning forward, reclining, and fidgeting with his hands, all while his eyelids repeatedly drooped.

As members of his Cabinet provided updates, the president's fatigue became more pronounced, with his eyes closing fully at multiple moments. Observers noted that he would briefly snap awake every few seconds, creating a pattern of dozing and sudden alertness.

This episode follows a recent New York Times report highlighting a noticeable decline in Trump's energy and activity compared to his first term, a story that reportedly frustrated the president.

Trump's struggle to stay awake during long meetings is consistent with previous instances, including a briefing with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh earlier this year. Such moments have fueled discussions about the presidents physical and mental stamina as he approaches the end of his tenure, which will make him the oldest U.S. president in history.
