The US President was attending an event in Memphis, Tennessee, when he appeared to doze off during the live telecast.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Trump was seen closing his eyes for an extended period during the roundtable event, to discuss his deployment of the national guard in Memphis. His posture was quickly observed by several social media users, who once again raised questions about his health. One wrote on X: &#8220;Trump just fell asleep again! One minute he\u2019s ranting and raving, and the next minute he is passed out. This shows how completely unfit he is to lead, from speaking of war to a nap in less than a few minutes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another user commented: &#8220;Embarrassing. They mocked &#8216;Sleepy Joe&#8217; for years \u2014 now their own guy can\u2019t stay awake in public and everyone pretends it\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn\u2019t just optics. It\u2019s the presidency. Focus, stamina, awareness \u2014 gone. So be honest \u2014 if he\u2019s asleep on stage, who\u2019s actually running the country?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A third user wrote: &#8220;It&#8217;s no longer amusing.

Earlier this month, he was accused of \u201cfalling asleep standing up\u201d whilst live on Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Another added: &#8220;Quick, someone give him another cognitive test. I&#8217;m not sure he would be able to identify what an elephant looks like now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A third user said: &#8220;The sad effects of advanced cognitive decline.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump was seen &#8220;asleep again&#8221; on stage during the live TV appearance on Monday.
