Trump, 80, Falls Asleep After Mocking Lindsey Graham at His Funeral

On July 28, 2026, President Donald Trump attended the funeral of former Senator Lindsey Graham at the Washington National Cathedral. After delivering a eulogy in which he went off-script to mock Graham and reminded attendees of the time he publicly shared Graham's cell phone number, Trump struggled to stay awake. Multiple videos posted by journalist Aaron Rupar show Trump's face drooping, eyes closing, and head tilting as he dozed off during other eulogies. The article, published by The New Republic, also includes a separate report on Canadian tourism boycotts costing the U.S. economy $3.3 billion due to Trump's tariffs and sovereignty threats.
