During a recent meeting at the White House, US President Trump momentarily dozed off.
The incident sparked speculation about the 79-year-old president’s health, with one leading medical expert saying the symptoms could indicate sleep apnea.
That video, which was recorded Thursday at the Oval Office affordability event, shows Trump sitting with his eyes closed, jaw hanging and head down. Although the White House has not issued any medical warnings, it has sparked a lot of discussion on social media.
A medical expert, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, professor of medicine and surgery related to CNNspoke out on the issues.

“The president continues to struggle with daytime sleepiness. It’s a common problem, and there are things that can be done to improve these symptoms,” he added.
In medical terms, sleep apnea is a condition in which the patient suffers from a number of interruptions in breathing while sleeping.
The White House does not recognize such a health issue, and President Trump has not yet had an annual physical exam officially scheduled for 2026, although he is known to have biannual physical exams. It has been observed that President Trump, who turns 80 in June, is holding fewer public meetings than during his first presidential term.
Regarding the POTUS’ health, Congressman Ted Lieu said, “There’s something wrong mentally with the President of the United States. There’s also something wrong physically… he can’t stay awake at public events with the cameras rolling.”
However, the White House maintained its position that Trump was in good health. So far, no official medical assessment has been released.
Faced with these growing concerns, another video of Trump is circulating, where he is seen falling asleep and violently banging his head against the desk. However, this specific video is fake and AI-generated.
