Former President Donald Trump became the focus of online discussion this week after viewers observed moments during a recent Cabinet meeting in which he appeared visibly fatigued. The meeting, which lasted more than two hours, included discussions on drug trafficking, immigration, and administrative priorities, with Trump encouraging Cabinet members to outline their accomplishments.
During portions of the meeting, cameras captured Trump sitting with his eyes closed while others spoke, prompting social media users to speculate about his energy levels and to circulate humorous nicknames. This marks the third recent occasion in which critics have suggested Trump appeared to struggle with alertness during public events.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back against the claims, stating that Trump was fully engaged and actively leading the meeting throughout its duration. She emphasized that he delivered what she described as strong and forceful remarks toward the end of the session, dismissing online commentary as a political distraction rather than a reflection of his ability to govern.
Questions surrounding Trump’s health have surfaced periodically in recent weeks, with some commentators calling for additional medical transparency. The White House has stated that recent medical evaluations, including imaging results, showed no abnormalities. Trump himself has rejected concerns, asserting that he remains in excellent condition and mentally sharp.
Despite appearing tired at times, Trump continued to speak extensively during the meeting, reiterating his views on immigration policy, criticizing political opponents, and highlighting his administration’s achievements. He closed by reaffirming his commitment to the “Make America Great Again” agenda, signaling continued focus on the priorities that have defined his political career.
