Donald Trump took a very public snooze during his big Saudi signing session – 18 zzzzingers
It’s been a productive visit to the Middle East for Donald Trump and his entourage of travelling CEOs. Already, we have seen
A multi-billion-dollar arms deal between the US and Saudi Arabia.
Trump being awarded Saudi Arabia’s highest civilian honour.
An end to sanctions on Syria.
Syria agreeing to the construction of a new Trump Tower.
We’re spotting a pattern. We also spotted Trump wandering in the wrong direction prior to signing a document, and this apparent micro-nap.

It isn’t the first time Sir Naps-a-lot has nodded off in public. He did it at the funeral of Pope Francis.

And at President Carter’s funeral.
My God. Trump has fallen asleep at President Carter's funeral.

He even fell asleep on more than one occasion during his own court hearings.
Nothing to see here, just a criminal asleep in the courtroom. I must admit, my heart skipped a beat when I first saw this. #SleepyDon#TrumpTrial pic.twitter.com/5YgaF95x1g

In the interest of fairness, it’s important to remember that his flight to Saudi would have taken around 12 hours, but it’s also important to note that Air Force One has a luxurious bedroom. Tweeters were unsurprised by the latest ironic snooze by the man who dubbed Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe’.

BREAKING: In a surreal and frankly humiliating moment, Donald Trump just fell asleep during his own briefing in Saudi Arabia.
This isn’t jet lag — it’s a walking security risk with a nap schedule.

He’s so on top of things. Watch Trump fight to stay awake during on-camera ceremony with the Saudi royal family. If this were President Biden, it would be playing on a non-stop loop on conservative outlets. pic.twitter.com/U8RHt7gR4V

Oh nothing…
Just Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Scott Bessent falling asleep in public in Saudi Arabia.
Surely MAGA will share the same outrage as they did with “Sleepy Joe Biden,” right?

Trump's napping through Saudi talks? Maybe he's saving energy for his next golf game. Real leadership, folks.
