Why was Trump caught appearing to fall asleep during an Oval Office event?
Thank you.
Oh, sorry. Hi, everyone. How are you doing? Roll it.
America is always well equipped and that everyday Americans have what they need when they need it most. And this is what it's going to take to continue to deliver the American.
OK, so look very trying to prove a point there. Because after years of shit talking, President Biden calling him Sleepy Joe, that's what you call karma. Were you guys worried that I was actually asleep? I should be actually asleep anyways. Everybody gotcha and went on for a little long. Anyways, how are you this morning? We need a cup of coffee. OK, look, he's been shit talking Joe Biden forever, and so is the Republican Party. And I guess that's what you all karma served up there. He needed a Mike Lindell pillow. Yesterday, Donald Trump once again appeared to nod off in the Oval Office. And here's the part that gets me. That was 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Look at the video of him there sleeping in the Oval Office, sitting behind the Resolute desk.
looking like somebody just read him a bedtime story. Wake up, sir. The irony is really incredible here because this is the same Donald Trump who spent years talking about Joe Biden's cognitive ability that he was too old, that he was too tired, he was too sleepy. Remember that? Every stumble when he went up the jet bridge or up the stairs to Air Force One, every yawn, every time Biden closed his eyes, MAGA treated it like breaking news. Well, guess what? The cameras don't lie. And they're pointed at who? They're pointed at Donald Trump. And check him out. Look at that B-roll again. Or look at that. That's good. You can look at that still picture. He's asleep. His eyes are closed, head drooping. But everybody around him, he's not asleep, sir.
He's wide awake and sharp as a tack. Looking like he's about three minutes away from asking somebody for a blanket or a MyPillow pillow. Look, I'm not diagnosing the man, obviously. I'm not even saying anything medical about it. I don't think I need to say that. Does he look like he's sleeping with you? I mean, he looks like he's on the verge. Let me put that picture back up real quick. It looks like he is on the verge of drool. You know, like sometimes when you're so tired and you're on the plane, you're like, whoa, I haven't had a good drool in a long time. But I've seen it. Maybe something is genuinely wrong with him or maybe he's just bored out of his damn mind. But Donald, when you have spent years trashing and trash talking everyone, you better make damn sure that you keep your own eyes open.
In a moment, I'm going to be talking to Elliott Connie. You know Elliott Connie. He is a psychotherapist to find out why Dozie Don can't stop sleeping, what's going on, and about his personality for lying even about his sleeping. But first, the White House has continued to deny that Trump has a sleeping problem. Because we're all imagining this, right? That's what Marco Rubio says, a man who literally sat next to Donald Trump while his eyes were closed, saying that Donald Trump never falls asleep. Roll it.
Farmers grow and produce has a fair shot to be sold around the world. On issue after issue, that's been the case. You talk about foreign aid reforms. This is not our money. This is taxpayer
money. He's sleeping. He's sleeping. Secretary Rubio, have you been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep? That's false. That's false.
I've never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem, because he calls me at 2 in the morning, he calls me at 5 in the morning. And you know, I like to sleep a little bit, maybe not 12 hours, but at least 6. So he works, the other day he was at the Oval Office until 12.30 p.m. 12.30 a.m.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Secretary Rubio, I'm going to show you in a moment a video that shows you just lied to Congress. Oh, okay. So this is a video of a cabinet meeting literally from last month where Donald Trump is sleeping while you're talking. Please show this video.
Coalition of countries that line up behind the peace deal, behind the board of peace.
