Trump Nods Off In Public Again — And This Time Was Especially Embarrassing
Donald Trump held the first meeting his so-called Board of Peace in Washington, DC, on Thursday, but it’s not exactly clear whether the president was actually “present” the whole time.
That’s because Trump seemed to have a hard time keeping his eyes open during the three-hour meeting.
Of course, that’s when Trump wasn’t doing his own trademark rambling... er, “weaving” about everything from the physical attractiveness of Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Paraguayan President Santiago Peña to the tragedy of not getting that damn Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump’s nodding off on Thursday isn’t a new thing. He’s appeared to doze at several public events over the last few months.
Last July, Trump had a hard time keeping his eyes open during a televised White House event on “Making Health Technology Great Again.”
After Trump seemed to fall asleep during a November press meeting, Newsom trolled him by calling him “Dozy Don.”
In early December, Trump appeared barely able to stay awake at two different events less than a week apart.
