Mr. Speaker, I rise today to sound the alarm about a grave national security threat, Donald Trump's sleeping habits.
I know we have rules about decorum, so I will stick to the facts because this is, in fact, a serious matter of oversight, transparency, and national security.
In meeting after meeting, Donald Trump has fallen asleep.
In public, on camera, in broad daylight, when people lavish praise on him.
We cannot trust the White House on matters concerning the president's health because they are denying what Americans are seeing with our own two eyes.
Just last week, Margot Rubio seemingly lied to Congress about this when he told my colleague that he had never been at a meeting where Trump fell asleep, despite being shown a video where the president dozed off right next to him.
We cannot have a president asleep on the job.
Is he sleeping in classified briefings?
On calls with foreign leaders?
How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel to make informed decisions about national security?
An April YouGov poll found that 48% of Americans believe that Trump is also suffering modest to significant cognitive decline.
He is increasingly making erratic decisions and raised questions about his mental fitness for office.
He is posting AI on Truth Social at ungodly hours of the night.
He is hyperfixated on his billion-dollar ballroom and a $1.8 billion slush fund for political allies instead of ending his war of choice on Iran and lowering costs for Americans.
Sadly, the White House has repeatedly failed to be transparent with the American people about the president's help.
Trump consistently has bruises on his hands that the White House claims are from handshakes.
He received an MRI without knowing what body part was scanned or disclosing why he received it.
The White House failed to put a mysterious dentist appointment on the presidential calendar as is normal for medical appointments.
Dr. Oz said the president is taking cognitive tests every day because he likes the results.
