Donald Trump keeps falling asleep during cabinet meeting - Trump appears to doze off during White House cabinet meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump was seen appearing to doze off several times during a White House cabinet meeting. The incident drew attention after footage showed his eyes closing for extended periods, particularly while Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke. Officials later dismissed claims that he had fallen asleep entirely.

The meeting lasted over an hour, with Trump reportedly struggling to keep his eyes open after around 50 minutes. According to The Washington Post, his eyes shut for longer stretches on nine occasions, totalling nearly six minutes.

The White House maintains that Trump remained fully engaged throughout the meeting. No further medical statements have addressed the specific incidents of drowsiness. Observers continue to note his occasional struggles with alertness during lengthy official events.
