Trump Called Out After He's Barely Able To Keep His Eyes Open During White House Event

President Trump looked like he was struggling not to fall asleep during a White House event about health technology on Wednesday.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump again appeared to struggle to stay awake during an official function. This time it was at the recent Making Health Technology Great Again White House event.

Trump infamously coined the nickname "Sleepy Joe" for former Democratic President Joe Biden.


But it seems it was just another case of projection.

On Wednesday, Trump spoke for about 10 minutes. Afterward he sat and listened while his Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz babbled about their latest pseudoscience grifts.

You can watch the moment here:

While that duo would make most people want to tune them out, Trump's constant mockery of Biden earned him a call out on social media.

And it isn't the first time President Trump has been caught trying to get some shut eye.

He made waves back in 2024 when he kept nodding off during his hush money trial, with New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman noting:

"His jaw kept falling on his chest and his mouth kept going slack."

He also seemed to catch some z's during several campaign events while campaigning for his 2nd presidential term last year.

And more recently in July, Trump also appeared to fall asleep during an energy and AI summit in Pittsburgh.

After this latest incident, some of his past insults naturally came back to bite him.

The White House recently revealed part of Trump's less than perfect medical history.

The 79-year-old POTUS has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, causing swelling in his lower legs and bruises on his hands.

The departure from declaring Trump the most healthy president to ever live was seen largely as an attempt to distract the public from Trump's close connection to registered sex offender and indicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Special Olympics Fires Back At Kid Rock With Powerful Statement After He Used 'The R-Word' To Describe Halloween Costume

MAGA singer Kid Rock was called out by Loretta Claiborne, the Chief Inspiration Officer of the Special Olympics, after he used the "r-word"—a known ableist slur—to describe his Halloween costume this year.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
