The president has repeatedly been seen appearing to doze off during official events.
The White House has offered a wild explanation for why Donald Trump was once again seen appearing to doze off in the Oval Office on Monday: he was actually blinking.
Trump, 79, was hosting an event on maternal health when he seemed to nod off behind his desk while surrounded by Cabinet members, Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. When that particular photograph was taken, it is of course possible that Trump was mid-blink.
The rapid response account has not posted about any of the videos of Trump.about the president jolting awake after he was caught nodding off, the White House merely referred the Daily Beast to the post about the photograph. The White House did not immediately respond to a new request for comment about the videos that appeared to show the president dozing off. Trump’s apparent nod-off fits a pattern.
It occurred just a week after he seemed to have a bout with fatigue during an Oval Office event about the resumption of the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. Similar occurrences happenedThat month, Trump, who regularly criticized his predecessor as “Sleepy Joe,” denied having fallen asleep in public. Instead, he told “It’s very relaxing to me,” he said.
“Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink. ”found that in April, Trump’s late-night and early morning social media posting habits prevented him from getting a full night’s sleep all but five nights. Trump is about to travel to and from China, but won’t be catching up on sleep, if past trips are any guide.
“He doesn’t sleep on these trips,” Collins told podcaster Jason Tartick last October. “And like, you’re going to Asia or something, and that’s kind of the only time you’re going to sleep, before you go on this trip, but Trump is just always up and talking, and he’ll like, have them go and wake staff up if they’re asleep because he wants to talk to them.
” She added: “I was just talking to someone about this because we wrote this story on what traveling with him is like in... I had this source who said, ‘You never wanna be on Air Force One on a trip’. ”
