Donald Trump Torched Over Oval Office Nap During Vaccine Update: ‘Dozing Don’

"'Sleepy Joe' [Biden] never once fell asleep like this. Trump does it literally all the time," one critic writes The post Donald Trump Torched Over Oval Office Nap During Vaccine Update: ‘Dozing Don’ appeared first on TheWrap .

Donald Trump faced criticism on Monday after it was revealed that he appeared to fall asleep during a vaccine update in the Oval Office. Following his signing of an executive order to modify childhood vaccine guidelines, including a change from the MMR shot to three separate vaccines, President Trump struggled to stay awake during the briefing by National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya.

The incident quickly went viral on social media platform X, with a clip of Trump's apparent nap garnering 2 million views. Commentators quickly took to the platform to mock Trump, labeling him "Dozing Don" in contrast to the often-repeated "Sleepy Joe" moniker for President Joe Biden. Trump's cognitive abilities have been a subject of scrutiny since his 2025 inauguration, with his age and physical health frequently coming under question.

Despite these allegations, Trump has consistently denied any cognitive decline, claiming to have "aced" all of his cognitive tests, and stating that his recent physical examination confirmed his "excellent health."
