Ted Lieu confronted Secretary of State Marco Rubio with a series of videos that he claimed showed Trump nodding off during Cabinet meetings and other public appearances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never seen him fall asleep,\u201d Rubio replied. \u201cOn the contrary, the guy doesn\u2019t sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=736\">Sleepy Trump, 79, Slumps to the Side in Oval Office Briefing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rubio insisted Trump routinely calls him at 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., works late into the night, and has more energy than people decades younger.<\/p>\n<p>Lieu wasn\u2019t buying it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just showed you three videos of him sleeping,\u201d the California Democrat shot back.<\/p>\n<p>Lieu took aim again on Thursday night after Trump\u2019s appearance. \u201cThe American people trust their own eyes.
