Donald Trump once again seemed to fall asleep on Monday after he signed an executive order that changes the recommended childhood vaccine schedule.
He was in the Oval Office, meeting with several top officials, including Health Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.and National Institutes of Health Director Dr.Jay Bhattacharya, to talk about the changes to the vaccine schedule.
People noticed that Trump’s eyes were closed during a press event, and the moment was captured on video.
Independent journalist Aaron Rupar shared a clip showing Trump apparently dozing off at his desk.
“Holy s— Trump is OUT,” Rupar wrote on X.
Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta shared a meme, “I take a nap right here,” with a child lying down in the sand, in a post on X.
X account Open Source Intel, which has more than 1.6 million followers, also made fun of the president’s behavior.
“The President has been working hard,” Open Source Intel posted.
Others commented on Trump’s apparent nap.
“Looking very awake and alert sir!” Matt Rein, an influencer and creative partnerships manager for the Democratic Party, wrote on X.
“Out like a light,” Bluesky account GottaLaff, a progressive political commentator with more than 40,000 followers, wrote.
“I love how they all pretend to not notice him passed the f— out,” author Joshua A.
Walker wrote on Bluesky.
