\n\tSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u2018s Donald Trump<\/a> repeatedly fell asleep during a press conference about his and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/a>\u2018s controversial, lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs a loud and mean Hegseth (Colin Jost<\/a>) berated reporters asking about allegations that he committed a war crime, he turned to Trump (James Austin Johnson<\/a>) for support. But the 79-year-old president\u2014as he has been known to do lately<\/a>\u2014was dozing off in the corner, have a good dream about New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cStop, Mamdani. You can freeze my rent anytime,\u201d the president said suggestively before coming to. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI wasn\u2019t sleeping,\u201d he insisted. \u201cI was very much awake. Now, someone tell me where am I, who am I, and what year might it be.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGood one, Mr. President,\u201d Hegseth chuckled, trying to play it off. \u201cEverything you do that\u2019s weird is a joke. I was just telling everyone here that I have your full support.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Trump agreed, he said so while pushing Hegseth off the podium, saying later that if anything Hegseth did hurt him, he wouldn\u2019t hesitate to \u201cthrow him under one of Mamdani\u2019s free buses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump then took a question about how polls show more and more of his supporters are blaming him for the affordability crisis<\/a>. \u201cWhat\u2019s your message to them?\u201d the reporter (Tommy Brennan) asked.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut Trump, again, was caught snoring away.<\/p>\n

\n\tHegseth, jumping in to salvage the situation, said, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get him to another MRI before he wakes up!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saturday Night Live\u2018s Donald Trump repeatedly fell asleep during a press conference about his and Defense Secretary Pete…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,4111,12,76416,11448,3,1572,12015,12016,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":{"0":"post-335068","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-colin-jost","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-james-austin-johnson","12":"tag-late-night-tv","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-pete-hegseth","15":"tag-saturday-night-live","16":"tag-snl","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
