Trump, 79, Falls Asleep After Bragging That He’s Solved Health Care

Our nearly 80-year-old president appears to have nodded off during a meeting, for the umpteenth time. President Trump’s eyes grew visibly heavy around the halfway point of his televised announcement of a deal with drug company Regeneron on Thursday afternoon, closing fully and reopening multiple times while suited Cabinet members and pharmaceutical executives stood behind him in the Oval Office. > Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event.

And just days before that, he seemed to fall asleep at a press conference about his Memphis Task Force. From the power naps to the unhinged, genocidal Truth Social posts, there is a wealth of evidence that would—at the very least—lead us to question Trump’s present mental acuity.
