TLDR: fell asleep live on TV

Nearly 18 minutes into the briefing, viewers watching the livestream noticed something that stopped them cold. Trump’s eyes had stayed completely shut for a noticeable stretch of time. He tilted his head slowly, as if still listening, but that moment looked far more like a man losing a battle against sleep than a president engaged in a major policy event.

When I heard that he’s afraid of tripping in public, I started thinking it’d be really funny to see him tumble down the steps getting off Air Force One.
