During a live appearance on Fox News, Donald Trump raised concerns among viewers who thought he was dozing off. The US president participated in a Tax Day roundtable in Las Vegas, focusing on new tax proposals.
Trump mentioned that a woman in Las Vegas suggested making tip income tax-free, a decision he stated is benefiting numerous workers in Nevada, including waiters, casino dealers, bartenders, bellmen, barbers, and caddies.
While Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was speaking, observers observed Trump appearing to fall asleep. Social media users expressed worry as they noticed the president’s eyes closed during the event.
One user on X social media platform wrote: “TRUMP IS OUT COLD. Scott Bessent praises him, similar to Kim Jong Un, and looks back to see his reaction: TRUMP: Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.” Another individual remarked that Trump seemed unconcerned and snoozing, as reported by the Express. A different commenter questioned why Trump wasn’t mandated to rest.
Trump has claimed multiple times that he sleeps only four to five hours per night, usually going to bed around midnight or 1 a.m. and waking up by 5 a.m. to catch up on news and television.
He views himself as someone who doesn’t require much sleep and has consistently promoted this schedule as evidence of his strong work ethic. Trump has also stated his belief that the conflict with Iran will end soon, although no resolution has been reached yet, as the US and Iran maintain starkly differing positions.
During an interview on Fox News Channel, Trump suggested that gas prices might remain steady or increase slightly by the November midterms. However, in a subsequent Fox News interview, he reversed his statement, predicting that gas prices would decrease significantly once the war concludes.
