Did President Donald Trump fall asleep in public again?

That appeared to be the case on Monday, when the president, sitting next to Vice President J.D. Vance, seemed to catch some shuteye during a ceremony while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was speaking. It’s the sort of public gaffe that would have likely had MAGA nation up in arms had Barack Obama or Joe Biden done anything similar.

Raw Story had more.

“Donald Trump was caught on video appearing to close his eyes during a Memorial Day ceremony honoring fallen soldiers Monday, setting off a fresh round of mockery online — and a spirited defense from his supporters, as well,” the site said.

“The clip, shared by political video account Acyn and amplified by PatriotTakes, which tracks right-wing extremism, showed Trump seated at what appeared to be an official Memorial Day event, eyes closed, as others around him stood at attention to listen to the words of Pete Hegseth.”

There were some shocked reactions online to what appeared to be Trump’s latest public nap.
