President Donald Trump\u2019s appearance during a lengthy Cabinet meeting has drawn online criticism and a new nickname from critics. Observers noted the 79-year-old president, known for using derogatory nicknames for others, appeared to close his eyes at times during the three-hour session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This followed a late-night social media spree on Truth Social, where he published over 160 posts. Critics were quick to contrast his demeanor with his frequent attacks on his predecessor, Joe Biden, whom he often called \u201cSleepy Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Online commenters dubbed Trump \u201cSleepy Don\u201d and \u201cDrowsy Don,\u201d calling his behavior unprofessional. Many highlighted the perceived media double standard, arguing similar conduct by Biden would receive widespread coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The White House responded by defending the president\u2019s attentiveness. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated Trump was \u201clistening attentively and running the entire three-hour marathon Cabinet meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She directed attention to his final press conference answer, which she described as \u201camazing.\u201d Leavitt emphasized that these meetings are open to the press and showcase the administration\u2019s accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The episode highlights the continued political focus on the age and stamina of presidential candidates. Trump is the oldest person ever elected to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The online reaction underscores how the former president\u2019s own tactic of using nicknames has now been turned against him by his critics following this incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
