Donald Trump ‘falls asleep with face drooping’ during Oval Office event | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

Donald Trump has been branded “unfit to serve” as President after he was accused again of “falling asleep” during a meeting at the Oval Office. Video footage appears to show Trump with his eyes closed and barely moving for a prolonged period of time during a formal health briefing. It came as Dorothy Fink, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women’s Health, was presenting data on reductions in maternal mortality rates, specifically noting that the Perinatal Improvement Collaborative hospitals reduced maternal mortality by 41.5% (compared to a 5.9% decline in benchmark hospitals). But many online were instead distracted by Trump’s behaviour. One user posted: “Trump is about to hit REM sleep on camera in the Oval.” Another added: “Trump fell asleep with his face drooping in the Oval Office during a meeting today. This is a real video that should concern every American. He’s not fit to serve.” A third added: “Trump appears to fall asleep while a doctor discusses maternal mortality.” And a fourth commented: “Today is Monday. That means trump falls asleep at yet another …

Trump’s reason for not wearing a bullet-proof vest cracks up Oval Office guests

Trump’s reason for not wearing a bullet-proof vest cracks up Oval Office guests

Despite being targeted by a trio of assassination attempts in less than two years, President Donald Trump is shrugging off calls for him to wear body armor during public appearances — and his reasoning for it caused a crowd of officials and reporters alike to break out in laughter. The president had journalists and members of Congress who’d joined him for an Oval Office signing ceremony laughing out loud on Thursday after a reporter from NewsNation pressed him on whether there have been discussions about adding a bulletproof vest to his usual suit-and-tie in the wake of last weekend’s attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington. His deadpan response to the dead-serious query? “I don’t know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier.” After the room erupted in laughter, the president quipped that some of the guests around him who were laughing the loudest were “physical specimens.” “If you want to gain 20 to 25 pounds, you can get a vest,” he cracked. Trump joked he won’t wear a bullet-proof vest …

Donald Trump threatens UK again and warns ‘they better be careful’

The UK was back on Donald Trump’s mind as he threatened ‘a big tariff’ in retaliation to a digital services tax introduced by Westminster six years ago. The tax, which has been enforced since 2020, imposes a two per cent levy on the revenues of several major US tech companies – including social media firms. But amid strains in relations between the two countries during the Middle East war, Mr Trump raised the issue with journalists at the Oval Office on Thursday (April 23). He told reporters: “We’ve been looking at it and we can meet that very easily by just putting a big tariff on the UK, so they better be careful. If they don’t drop the tax, we’ll probably put a big tariff on the UK.” The tax targets companies whose worldwide revenues from digital activities exceed £500 million, with more than £25 million of the revenue from UK users. According to a 2025 Treasury review, the levy raised more than £800 million in 2024–25, up from £678 million in 2023–24. Click here …

President Donald Trump, listening to Britian’s ambassador to the Peter Mandelson, right, delivering remarks on a trade deal between US and UK in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, May 8, 2025, in Washington. via Associated Press Donald Trump has appeared to downplay former US ambassador Peter Mandelson’s fall from grace over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson served as the UK’s main link to the Trump administration for much of last year until he was sacked for his friendship with Epstein, the dead paedophile. After the US Department of Justice released a fresh batch of files unveiling Epstein’s extensive network with the elite over the weekend, it was revealed that Mandelson may have been leaking confidential government information to the disgraced financier. The peer quit the Labour Party on Sunday night and, after intense backlash, stood down from the House of Lords though his title technically remains. When reminded by a reporter in the Oval office that Mandelson has been forced to resign over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, Trump replied: “I didn’t …
