A new video shared on 5 May 2026 by journalist Aaron Rupar on X has gone viral, showing President Donald Trump appearing to struggle to stay awake during a White House event, with children visible around him and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr speaking in the background. Rupar's caption was direct: 'Trump, surrounded by kids, is struggling to stay awake as RFK Jr drones on and on.'

The clip, which had amassed more than 37,700 views within hours of being posted, drew an immediate wave of reactions online — many of them drawing comparisons to Trump's own long-running mockery of former President Joe Biden.
