This Video Of Donald Trump Barely Keeping His Eyes Open Has Everyone Making The Same Exact Joke

Donald Trump is currently in Saudi Arabia to sign an arms deal.

He's spending the next few days in the Gulf to meet with world leaders.

Sooooo, Fox News showed this video of Trump sitting in a chair, and it seems like he was having a really hard time keeping his eyes open:




Jet lag is real and he looks exhausted.

I'm guessing jet lag can be lessened if one makes use of the queen size bed on your airplane. rsdsharp May 2025 #2
Many of our diplomats use amphetamines on their overseas trips to fight the jet lag. Midnight Writer May 2025 #3

I'm very surprised Trump is not jacked up on something.

Hopefully his opponent will be well-rested and coked to the gills.

On the plane trip. Jet lag is a real thing and he should know that. But in his world, he thinks he is young and studly. Definitely up to staying awake for the journey and then having no problem dealing with the time difference.

His staff should have slipped something in his beverages to make sure he slept in preparation for what was, no doubt, a long day. Don’t ask him. Just do it.

But then…maybe they’re sick of him, too. So just let tRump be tRump. A good snooze in front of everybody and on camera is priceless. 🫩🫩🥱😴😴😴😴🤤
