"After playing a clip of Trump closing his eyes during a White House Q&A with reporters, The Late Show host shouted, Hey, President Sleepy-Time Bear! Wake Up! All right? Get some toothpicks. Try to stay awake for your own bombing campaign. He mocked, Somebody cut this guy a rail of Tic-Tacs' or else we're gonna have to rename our segment Hormuz Nuz You U Can Uz Commander-in-Snuz.'"
"Trump himself, meanwhile, has denied falling asleep during meetings, insisting that photographers were merely capturing him while he was blinking. I'll just close. It's very relaxing to me, he said. Sometimes they'll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they'll catch me with the blink."
"Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick marveled last year over how little sleep the president regularly received while touting his work ethic. The president sleeps less than me! I sleep five hours a night. The president sleeps four hours a night, and he is working all the time, said Lutnick."
Stephen Colbert ridiculed President Trump after video showed him repeatedly closing his eyes during a White House Q&A session regarding Iran policy. Colbert joked about Trump staying awake during his own military campaign. This incident follows a pattern of Trump appearing to rest his eyes during cabinet meetings over the past year. Trump has denied falling asleep, claiming photographers capture him mid-blink. CNN's Jake Tapper noted that sleepiness is normal for a 79-year-old. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended Trump's work ethic, stating the president sleeps only four hours nightly while working constantly and calling late at night to discuss daily matters.
