Weeks later, during a Middle East trip, cameras appeared to catch him drifting off while touting a major agreement with Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>In July, viewers claimed Trump nodded off during the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, an irony that did not go unnoticed online. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=815\">Trump, 79, Threatens to Steal Another Prize He Didn\u2019t Win<\/a><\/p>\n<p>October brought another viral clip, this time from an anti-Antifa roundtable where the president appeared to struggle to stay awake, while November saw Trump accused of nodding off during a White House event focused on cutting prices for weight-loss drugs.<\/p>\n<p>A trio of alleged naps followed in December. <\/p>\n<p>The first came as Marco Rubio praised Trump\u2019s leadership on Ukraine. The second arrived two days later during a press conference celebrating a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n<p>The third came later that month, when footage appeared to show the president drifting off during an Oval Office event marking a major shift in federal marijuana policy.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy refused to go to bed in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In January, video appeared to show Trump struggling to stay awake during a briefing on the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and again during a White House event on the return of whole milk to school lunches alongside Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p>February proved equally challenging as the president appeared to close his eyes during a press conference on rolling back climate regulations and later during the inaugural meeting of his newly created Board of Peace.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Trump was accused of nodding off during a roundtable on crime and public safety in Tennessee, and April brought another viral clip from a White House event focused on health-care affordability.<\/p>\n<p>May brought two more alleged naps, one during a Presidential Fitness Test event and another during a maternal health announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Then came this week\u2019s Oval Office coal event, and now at a Wisconsin roundtable.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Marco Rubio was humiliated when asked about the president\u2019s tendency to nod off while testifying on Capitol Hill. \u201cThat\u2019s false,\u201d the secretary of state shot back, noting: \u201cOn the contrary, the guy doesn\u2019t sleep, which is a big problem, because he calls me at 2 in the morning, he calls me at 5 in the morning, and you know, I like to sleep a little bit.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The reality of the situation was made clear, however, when Rubio was shown footage of the dozy president <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Despite the White House\u2019s increasingly aggressive denials, accusations that Trump is dozing off during public events have become a recurring headache for the administration.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=813\">Trump Travels to Wisconsin to Brag About D.C.
