Donald Trump appeared to briefly fall asleep at his desk moments after delivering a grim address on the war with Iran, according to a body language expert who described the US president as 'shattered' and 'a little weak' in footage aired on Fox News.
Trump has long brushed off criticism about closing his eyes during public events, insisting in past interviews that he is thinking, listening or 'tuning out the nonsense.' Clips of him on stage with eyes shut have become a familiar feature of his rallies and televised meetings. This latest episode, however, has drawn fresh scrutiny because it unfolded just after he spoke about an escalating conflict with Iran and his own family life, laying bare the pressure he says he is under.
