President Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 memorial ceremony.
===================
The president dozed off at multiple points during the event Friday, slumped over in his chair with his eyes closed and his head hanging down while everyone else onstage—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Melania Trump, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—was clearly awake.

This is one of manytimes the 80-year-old president has appeared to be completely asleep on camera in front of dozens of people. But for him to do it today—in front of the families of victims on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the most devastating terror attack in American history—is particularly inappropriate.

Give him a break, he was bored.
he can't express a complete thought
he can't walk a straight line
his right arm has a twitch
his right hand has bruising from infusions
the right side of his face has a slight droop
he's on the home stretch ...
Yeah, the way his jaw is posturing reminds me of somebody who has had a stroke. That, the slurred words, the bruises, the lack of mental control. He is not physically healthy. I guess all those hamberders are catching up with him.
there's almost a library of videos on youtube with prominent medical experts that offer a lot of the same diagnosis ...
Her body language of just sitting that close to him is ridiculous. What did he do to cause her to despise him so much?
Made her look at his naked body??????
... without getting paid.
Yea, the $$ in her eyes look a little dull.
......AGAIN!
I prefer trump asleep, I just hate it when he keeps waking up ...
Agreed. That way he can't cause any damage. Every second he's awake is a total disaster.
Wait, wasn't Joe supposed to be sleepy?
Joe stood for hours in NYC, despite having cancer.
