President Donald Trump was captured on video appearing to close his eyes and struggle to stay upright in his chair during the inaugural Board of Peace meeting, as world leaders delivered speeches around him.
Viral Video Shows President During World Leader Speeches
The footage shows the 79-year-old president with his eyes closed during Major General Jasper Jeffers III’s presentation at the Board of Peace launch. Social media users quickly shared the video, with critics questioning Trump’s stamina and engagement during the international meeting. The moment occurred as other world leaders were delivering formal remarks at what was positioned as a significant diplomatic initiative.
This incident marks the second time in recent months that Trump has been observed closing his eyes during official meetings. In December, similar footage emerged from a cabinet meeting, prompting questions about the president’s alertness during formal proceedings.
Trump’s Previous Explanation for Similar Incidents
When addressing the December cabinet meeting incident, Trump defended his behavior by calling the proceedings boring. He told White House officials that he did not actually sleep but closed his eyes because he wanted to leave the meeting. Trump emphasized that he does not sleep much and maintained that he was not actually dozing during the session.
Health Questions Surrounding America’s Oldest President
At 79 years old, Trump holds the distinction of being the oldest serving president in American history. Recent months have brought increased scrutiny regarding his health, including questions about medical imaging tests and visible bruising on his hands. The White House has addressed these concerns by stating that medical tests were preventative measures showing good cardiac health. Officials attributed the hand bruising to routine aspirin use for cardiovascular disease prevention, sometimes requiring makeup coverage. The Board of Peace meeting, where this latest incident occurred, was announced as a significant initiative with nine members pledging seven billion dollars toward the peace effort.
Well at 79 we should not be surprised. That happens (as most of us know) to people around 70 and beyond, and some even earlier. He is still on the ball for his age. At least he doesn’t have to read some teleprompter all the time, and when he exits a room, he still knows which way to go out… Some didn’t. So, for his age I actually think he’s doing well enough… Older people nod off and if you notice you will see that everywhere…In the beauty salon, inside the churches, at the movies, even in a restaurant while waiting on food… Of course, those who don’t like him are attempting to make it a BIG deal to cause attention…Why can’t we focus on positives and NOT all of the negatives????? Being critical isn’t necessary, is it? We will all be “older” one day and it WILL happen to ALL of u, guaranteed!!!
I think people make a big deal about it because he made a big deal about it with the former president…
Ditto!!
Absolutely
Please let the man do his job.
So what at his age and sleeps maybe 4 hours at best. He works more in one day than sleepy Joe Biden. Get a life, a job or better report something interesting!
