Dozing Off Donald More Sleepy Than “Sleepy Joe” Biden?

Lately, Donald Trump can’t seem to stay awake–anywhere.

This week, Trump was caught napping at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey reportedly for the second day in a row, during serious important discussions on world politics and peace. Perhaps, we should now be calling Trump Doozing Off Donald.

How is it possible that the man who relentlessly labeled President Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe” has now become a prolific serial snoozer?

Biden, at the end of his presidency, was surely slowing down, but Biden was never seen frequently sleeping during important meetings, with global leaders, like Trump has been doing over the course of his second presidential term. The MAGA man is now very often captured looking perpetually dopey and drowsy. For Trump, these days, naptime is now anytime.

One interesting article, on the Indy100 news website, list Trump sleeping some 22 times–dating from April 26, 2025 to July 4, to 2026.

These include, in 2025: sleeping at the funeral of Pope Francis, on April 26, 2025; during a visit to Saudi Arabia, May 13, 2025; at the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, on July 15, 2025; at a so-called Antifa Rountable, Oct. 8, 2025; at an Obesity drugs press conference, Nov. 6, 2025; at a cabinet meeting, on Dec. 2, 2025; during a Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo meeting, Dec. 4, 2025; at a Marijuana reclassification White House meeting, on Dec. 18, 2025.

In 2026, he slept: during an announcement on the US action in Venezuela, Jan. 4, 2026; during the signing of the Whole Milk For Healthy Kids Act, on Jan. 14, 2026; while repealing Climate Change regulations, on Feb. 12, 2026; during a Board of Peace meeting, on Feb. 19, 2026; during the Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable, on March 23, 2026; during the Regeneron agreement meeting, on April 23, 2026; during the Small Business Summit, on May 5, 2026; during Memorial Day celebrations, on May 25, 2026; during the ‘Beautiful Clean Coal’ event, on June 4, 2026; during the Knicks NBA Finals Game #3, on June 8, 2026; while announcing a proclamation about fishing, on June 11, 2026; during his UFC Freedom 250 event, on June 14, 2026; during a Religious Liberty Commission meeting, on June 25, 2026; and during the America 250 celebrations, on July 4, 2026.

At this point, Americans must seriously ask this question: does Trump have health problems the American people should know about?

For awhile now, some people have been wondering whether Trump’s inability to stay awake signals failing health. In 2025, Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency: a condition where the veins in the arms and the legs are damaged. Symptoms include: visible varicose veins, spider veins, leg or ankle swelling, cramping in calves, ankle discoloration, heavy or aching feelings, burning and or tingling sensations, muscle spasms, skin changes and ulcers.

But what other conditions may Trump be suffering from?

Recently, California Rep. Ted Lieu and New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan made news when they questioned whether Trump was the unknown “high-profile” 79-year-old being given Retatrutide, an unapproved weight-loss drug from Eli Lilly.

Sen. Hassan said the following in a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “I am deeply concerned by new reporting that suggests you may be bending the rules of a federal program, and exerting improper political pressure, in order to provide a well-connected individual with free access to an exclusive prescription drug.” Hassan also added, “reporting clearly suggests that this individual was the President or someone closely connected to him.”

During a June 24 press conference, here is what Rep. Liu said: “What we know is there’s a report saying that one person in America got this special, new drug. It was a 79-year-old person who’s very high-profile, and this drug can only be given to someone under the compassionate use provision, meaning you do that if someone basically has a terminal illness. So we need to know did Donald Trump get this special drug from Eli Lilly, and did he get it under that provision? And if he did, why is that the case? The White House needs to come clean and tell the American people about Donald Trump’s health.”

“Compassionate use” for “terminal illness?” The White House has denied Trump is said person. However, has there ever been a more lying White House? Sadly, Trump’s health seems to mirror his presidency. It is sickly.

It goes without saying that Donald Trump is a walking example of bad dietary habits. For some time now, there has been speculation about whether Trump has some sort of sleeping sickness possibly related to his awful eating habits, and advancing age. Are the burgers, fries, and coke making it hard for Trump to stay woke? Hey MAGA, maybe being woke isn’t such a bad thing after all eh?
Here is another question to consider, does eating junk food contribute to Trump’s often irritable bad mood?

For example, this week, as his fragile peace truce, with Iran, disintegrated he called the Iranians untrustworthy “scum.” Trump, and Netanyahu, start an imperial war of aggression, against this ancient civilization, during diplomatic negotiations, and the Iranians are the “scum?” Talk about hubris.

On Wednesday, at a NATO press conference, Trump also made several gaffes including calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “President Putin,” referred to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Japan” and mistakenly called Tik Tok, tic tac, when he said, “You know who’s number one on tic tac? I am. I’m number one on Tik Tok and all I talk about is how bad communism is.”

Is it wrong to say the so-called “leader of the free world” is now in mental free fall?

Obesity is another issue that is obviously having a harmful impact on Trump’s health. The most recent White House health report claims the 6-foot-3 Trump weighs 238 pounds. Given the mendacity of these folks, we must wonder what Trump’s true weight is? How many more pounds must we add to this official report?

William Howard Taft, the 27th U.S. president, and the only president to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, as the 10th Chief Justice, has the dubious distinction of being known as the most obese president, weighing, at his heaviest, around 340 pounds, at 5-feet-11 inches. However, Taft now has a chubby challenger. Trump himself is aware that he is in Taft territory. Reportedly, Trump is said to have told JD Vance’s wife, Usha, on a podcast, that Taft “was a large man, very large. And he loved baseball. He’d go to baseball games, loved the hot dogs at the baseball games. He was our heaviest president. And I have to be careful, ’cause I don’t want to supersede his record.”

Memo to Humpty Trumpty: if you really believe this then instead of a ballroom shouldn’t you be building a rec-room? Instead of lifting Big Mac’s and buckets of Chicken McNuggets shouldn’t you be lifting weights? Even you should be able to lift a dumbbell. Please forget about this reflecting pool. Build a swimming pool–and start using it.

The health of American Presidents is of vital importance to the nation. It is a national security issue. If a president is mentally unfit it impairs their decision-making abilities. And can we truly say Trump’s mental faculties were ever really sound even when he was more healthy?

The last thing America needs is a dingbat dictatorial droopy president, like Donald Trump, who is now too often just so very sleepy and drowzzzzzzzzz…
