Donald Trump was meeting with businesspeople and officials to discuss the plan to reduce the cost of weight-loss medications. During the meeting, he reportedly took a nap.
The U.S. president had traveled to Miami the day before to deliver an economic speech lasting more than an hour. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told CNN that the Republican had not fallen asleep.
Rogers told CNN that the president “answered many questions” during the press conference.
“This announcement by President Trump will save a significant amount of money and countless American lives, but the liberal and decadent media prefer to push a garbage narrative instead of covering what really matters,” he said.
The situation went viral on social media, drawing comments from users who mocked Donald Trump’s “nap.”
“Meanwhile, Trump decides to take a nap,” wrote one. Another added: “He used to call Biden ‘Sleepy Joe,’ but now he’s the one dozing off in front of the whole country,” noted another.
“Dr. Oz talking about obesity and dementia while Trump is slumped over the table is quite a choice…,” wrote another.
Before Trump’s nap, a man at the scene also fainted.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the representative was “fine” after being treated, adding that “the White House Medical Unit acted quickly.”
