In a bizarre and unexpected moment, Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep during a live press conference, leaving reporters and viewers around the world in shock.
The former president was addressing media questions at his Mar-a-Lago estate when cameras caught him slowly nodding off behind the podium. At first, many thought he was pausing for dramatic effect — but within seconds, his eyes fully closed and his head drooped, prompting whispers and stunned looks from those in the room.
Clips of the moment have gone viral on social media, with users sharing slowed-down footage and memes under hashtags like #TrumpNap and #SnoozeConference. One viral tweet read: “Man gave himself a filibuster AND a nap break at the same time.”
Some of Trump’s supporters brushed off the incident, claiming he was simply “resting his eyes,” while critics quickly seized on the footage, questioning his stamina and fitness for public appearances.
Despite the awkward interruption, aides gently nudged Trump awake, and he carried on as if nothing had happened — even cracking a brief joke about the “comfortable lighting” in the room.
The surreal scene has already sparked debates online, with one commenter writing: “Only Trump could turn a press conference into a nap time spectacle.”
