Washington (HRNW) – 79-year-old US President Donald Trump tries his best to appear bright, alert, and active to counter criticism about his age — but this effort did not succeed during a recent cabinet meeting.
According to the American broadcaster CNN, during a cabinet meeting at the White House — where President Trump repeatedly claimed to have ended several wars worldwide — he was repeatedly seen fighting sleep.
The meeting, held in the afternoon, lasted for 2 hours and 18 minutes. Throughout the session, cabinet members continued praising President Trump for his global conflict-ending initiatives.
However, President Trump struggled to stay awake. At moments he dozed off, closed his eyes completely, or suddenly woke up startled — all of which were captured on video.
The meeting concluded while the president continued nodding off, but the footage has triggered a wave of questions and public debate.
This incident is particularly significant because Trump has frequently mocked his political rival, former President Joe Biden, for appearing sleepy or low-energy in public.
The viral video has now reignited discussions across the United States about how much age and health matter for one of the world’s most demanding leadership positions.
