Donald Trump appeared to doze during two public events

Trump looked unable to stay alert across two public appearances on September 28, raising questions about how he was functioning during official events. He sat slumped forward with his eyes closed at a 2 p.m. event, then appeared to doze again during an Oval Office announcement.

The footage also showed him unusually quiet and mumbling through answers to reporters, while Howard Lutnick continued speaking and applauding beside him. The videos show the repeated behavior but do not establish why he appeared fatigued.
