Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep during a ‘Board of Peace’ meeting on Thursday. World leaders and national delegations are in Washington DC today for the inaugural meeting of Donald Trump‘s Board of Peace.
In the latest video, the US President appeared to drift off to sleep as officials addressed the leaders.

Another wrote: “That man is fully asleep.”
A third user commented: “Such an embarassment. Make it stop.”
A fourth user wrote: “He is board of peace.”

However, this is not the first time that the US President has been seen “sleeping” in public. Recently, Mr Trump was seen sleeping as Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin discussed the Clean Air Act during a news conference, which was aired on Fox News.
When the Cabinet member finished his lengthy speech, Trump took to the podium and stated: “That was long.”
As 79‑year‑old President Donald Trump begins the second year of his second term, his physical and cognitive health continues to draw scrutiny, fuelled by viral images, firm denials from the White House, and limited medical transparency.
During a 9/11 commemoration event in September, cameras captured what appeared to be a noticeable droop on the right side of Donald Trump’s face, a brief visual detail that quickly drew public attention. The footage circulated widely online, prompting speculation about whether the asymmetry signalled a temporary issue, fatigue, or a potential medical concern.
