Donald Trump appearing to fall asleep was already good but it was the look on the face of the guy behind him that really caught people’s imagination
It was the funeral of Republican lawmaker Lindsey Graham in Washington, where Donald Trump remembered the 71-year-old as a ‘true American original who left us much too soon’.
One particular clip went viral because it appeared to show the president appearing to momentarily fall asleep with some serious eye resting going on here.

To be fair, he might just have been suffering an especially irritating flashback.
Whatever the truth, it went viral, wildly viral.
