President Donald Trump has given a clear reason for why he often closes his eyes during long Cabinet meetings. He says the meetings are “boring as hell.” The president made this honest statement recently, pushing back against rumors that his behavior shows health problems.
According to The New York Magazine, Trump explained that these meetings can go on for hours. He said one recent meeting lasted three and a half hours as he listened to twenty-eight different officials speak. “It’s boring as hell,” Trump said. He added that he tries to move his hand slightly to show everyone he is still paying attention. “I’m hearing every word, and I can’t wait to get out,” he admitted.
