Aww. I'll bet Little Lord Pissypants dreamed of his shiny new airborne bordello while he napped in the Saudi meeting. [View all]

President Donald Trump was already facing severe criticism for a Middle East "peace talks" tour immediately after the government of Qatar moved to gift him a luxury $400 million Boeing 747. But that criticism kicked into high gear after he appeared to literally doze off during a critical briefing in Saudi Arabia.

Trump running out of energy and dozing off is nothing new — he famously appeared to do so even during his own criminal trial for business fraud in New York — but the moment, captured on camera, triggered a new wave of mockery.

"BREAKING: In a surreal and frankly humiliating moment, Donald Trump just fell asleep during his own briefing in Saudi Arabia," wrote Brian Allen of the Allenanalysis podcast. "This isn’t jet lag — it’s a walking security risk with a nap schedule. The man who calls himself 'sharp as ever' couldn’t even stay conscious."

"Donald Trump appears to briefly fall asleep in Saudi Arabia," wrote podcaster Brian Krassenstein. "He's too old to be President. This is elder abuse."
