On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Donald Trump held a Cabinet meeting at the White House.
The meeting came after his administration defended a controversial strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean Sea. The strike happened in September and has faced serious criticism and questions from lawmakers.
The White House said that Navy Admiral Frank M. Bradley ordered the second strike. They said he acted within his authority and the law.
Reports say that survivors from the first strike were still alive and were later killed in the second strike. Lawmakers and legal experts are closely watching this. They say that killing people who no longer fight may be illegal.
During the Cabinet meeting, cameras showed Trump leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes at times. Sometimes his eyes seemed completely shut.
BREAKING: This was literally five minutes ago, before 1 PM Eastern time at an important full cabinet press conference.

Grandpa shouldn’t be posting all night when he has to wake up and pretend to be President.

This man is live-blogging his mental decline in front of the entire cabinet and we’re supposed to pretend it’s “normal”?
Trump doesn’t need another term.
He needs a wellness check — and America needs a new therapist, not a new dictator.— AnatolijUkraine (@AnatoliUkraine) December 2, 2025

I thought he starts his day at noon. And he’s sleepy at 1pm? Are you kidding me?

Is he high?

He is not president material.
The only reasonable thing left for him to do is RESIGN.

In the meeting, officials also defended the boat strikes. They said the United States is working to stop drug trafficking at sea.
Supporters say the strikes are part of a fight against drug smugglers. They say the military has the authority to act. The administration insists that the second strike was lawful.
Even so, critics are alarmed. The president needs to be fully alert when making decisions about military actions and national security.
