A viral video appearing to show Donald Trump falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony on Monday has sparked outrage online, reigniting rumours about the state of the US president's health. Social media users claimed Trump was dozing off, and furious that it could take place at a ceremony to honour fallen US military personnel. Though the low-quality video is difficult to verify, it has reignited scrutiny about Trump's health.
Social media users claimed Trump's eyes were closed during Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and that he was fighting sleep. They shared the video, saying Trump has "no respect" and prompting renewed mockery over Trump's long-running attacks on former US president Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe", with users pointing to what they claimed was Trump himself appearing drowsy at a national event.
