Dozy Donald had a little nap in the Oval Office again, and the takedowns might just give him nightmares – 22 savage favourites
It’s getting to the point where Donald Trump staying awake during an Oval Office arse-kissing session would be more of an event than the almost-octogenarian president dozing off.
The administration’s big mistake is that they schedule meetings during the daytime, instead of in the middle of the night, when the Orange Buffoon is clearly wide awake and living his best ALL-CAPS life on Truth Social. If the president is nocturnal, his timetable should be, too.
On Monday, he hosted an event to promote maternal health and fertility, where he spent large chunks of time with his eyes closed and his head and shoulders drooping – despite knowing he was on camera.
Here’s how that looked from a few angles.

Despite the post not saying he was asleep, it riled the White House Rapid Response account to the point of downright rudeness.
He was blinking, you absolute moron https://t.co/7gw3n7l8R3

That was a hell of a long blink.

Is anyone investigating why the president keeps falling asleep in public, or do we have to wait on the tell-all book to come out? https://t.co/qG18IcYYHL

Yawn. Another day of the president falling asleep right in front of the cameras, during a meeting and complete silence from the media (who savaged Biden based on him flubbing a word). https://t.co/6kXH4NbwdR

Trump on Joe Biden (2024): “He has an ability to fall asleep while on camera…in minutes, he’s stone-cold out, and he’s got cameras because he’s the president…You’ll never see me sleeping in front of a camera.” https://t.co/CdFpbOcV0I pic.twitter.com/KzXpwWkrTh
