White House Denies Trump Fell Asleep, Claims He Was Blinking
The White House vehemently denied suggestions that Donald Trump had fallen asleep during a maternal health event in the Oval Office, responding aggressively to a journalist’s photograph of the president with his eyes closed. Administration officials characterized the appearance as simply blinking, while critics, including Democratic congressmen, questioned the prolonged closure of his eyes and questioned his fitness for office. This incident echoed previous occasions where Trump appeared to nod off during official functions, though he has previously attributed such moments to boredom rather than sleep.
