White House Denies Trump Fell Asleep at Lindsey Graham's Funeral, Insults Critics
The White House forcefully denied that President Donald Trump fell asleep during Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday, with spokesman Davis Ingle calling anyone who suggests otherwise a 'depraved moron.' Despite Trump delivering a eulogy praising Graham as 'a force to be reckoned with,' numerous images and videos circulated on social media appearing to show Trump with his eyes closed and face drooping during the service. The article notes this is part of a pattern, citing multiple previous incidents where Trump appeared to nod off during official events, including an Oval Office event on church-state separation, a briefing with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and a maternal health event. The White House has previously offered alternative explanations, such as claiming Trump was 'blinking' rather than sleeping.
