Donald Trump is back in the spotlight, but this time it’s for an unexpected reason—falling asleep during a National Prayer Service. A video posted on TikTok has gone viral, showing the former president appearing to doze off while sitting next to his wife, Melania Trump, who is seen gently nudging him to wake him up. The clip has sparked a wave of reactions online, with millions of views and comments calling the moment “disrespectful” and “embarrassing,” especially given the serious nature of the event.
In the video, Trump seems to struggle to keep his eyes open, which has led to a mix of mockery and defense from social media users. Some have jokingly referred to him as “Sleepy Don,” poking fun at the incident, while others have come to his defense, suggesting that he might simply be exhausted from his busy schedule.
This isn’t the first time Trump has been caught nodding off in public. In 2023, he was seen sleeping during a campaign event in Oakland County, Michigan. At the time, critics questioned his energy levels and ability to keep up with the demands of his role, but his team quickly dismissed these concerns. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended him, saying that Trump is “running laps around Kamala Harris” and emphasizing his strong work ethic.
The latest incident has once again put Trump in the center of attention, with people debating whether his actions were a sign of fatigue or simply a moment of human error. Regardless, it’s clear that Trump continues to dominate headlines, even when the focus is on something as unexpected as a nap.
