President Donald Trump appeared to briefly nod off during a 9/11 commemoration at the Pentagon on Friday, Sept. 11, as cameras captured him sitting beside First Lady Melania Trump with his eyes closed and head tilting to one side during the ceremony honouring the 184 people killed at the Pentagon in 2001.
