Donald Trump appeared to nod off during a defence summit at the US Army War College in Pennsylvania this week, according to a widely shared video that shows the president closing his eyes for extended moments as host Pete Hegseth praised his role in 'rebuilding the military.' The clip, filmed at an event attended by business executives and senior military officials, has triggered another round of questions online about Trump's alertness and fitness for office.
The series of similar viral moments in which Trump was accused by critics of falling asleep at public events, from fight nights to high-level meetings. Supporters have routinely pushed back, arguing that brief eye-closing is being misrepresented, but the latest footage has fuelled claims that a pattern is becoming harder to ignore.
