White House Denies Trump Fell Asleep at Lindsey Graham's Funeral, Insults Critics

The White House has forcefully denied that President Donald Trump fell asleep during Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday. White House spokesman Davis Ingle stated that Trump was 'reflecting on the loss of his dear friend' after delivering a eulogy, and called anyone suggesting otherwise a 'depraved moron.' However, numerous images and videos circulated on social media appeared to show Trump with drooping eyelids and struggling to stay awake. The article notes this is part of a pattern, citing multiple previous incidents where Trump appeared to nod off during Oval Office events and briefings, with the White House offering similar explanations in the past.
