"The day before Thanksgiving, Donald Trump railed against the New York Times for publishing a front-page story with the headline "Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office." In a lengthy Truth Social tirade, the president insisted that while the "Creeps" at the Times "did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy," the facts "show the exact opposite." (He also called the story's female co-author "ugly.")"
"It was the second time in less than a month that Trump has appeared to struggle to stay awake as his advisers speak about the administration's initiatives. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump's eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes."
"For years, Trump argued that Joe Biden was too old to perform his duties as president. Before he fell asleep at Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, Trump actually referred to his predecessor as "Sleepy Joe" and proclaimed himself healthier than ever. "I'll let you know when there's something wrong," he said. "There will be some day that's going to happen to all of us. But right now, I think I'm sharper than I was 25 years ago. But who the hell knows?""
A New York Times front-page headline framed shorter days and signs of fatigue for the president. He attacked the Times on Truth Social, calling staff "Creeps," accusing them of a hit piece and calling a female co-author "ugly." Video analysis of a Cabinet meeting showed nine instances of the president closing his eyes for extended periods, totaling nearly six minutes, echoing a prior Oval Office episode when he struggled to keep his eyes open for nearly 20 minutes. He previously labeled Joe Biden as too old, continued to call him "Sleepy Joe," and asserted that he feels sharper than 25 years ago. Observers suggest his behavior may reflect unhealthy sleep habits.
