President Donald Trump appeared to nod off while sitting at a briefing in Saudi Arabia today.

The president, who is 78, is in Riyadh with a team of cabinet members and executives in one of his first international visits since getting a front row seat at the funeral of Pope Francis.

Like his attendance at the pope's funeral, however, Fox News cameras caught what appears to be the president dozing off in his seat. He appeared to slide in and out of consciousness during a special ceremony the Saudi royal court held in his honor. The snoozy footage evoked images of Maggie Haberman of The New York Times reporting Trump repeatedly slipping away in court at his hush money trial in 2024, and seemingly falling asleep at campaign events.

In response to the footage, Variety film critic Joe Leydon posted: “Wonder how long it will take for someone to add a soundtrack to this clip?"

Bloomberg economics and policy analyst Michael McKee described what he believed to be the obvious signs of a snooze: "Pretty clear that Trump fell asleep in his bilateral with MBS. Eyes closed, head rolls to the side," he posted on Bluesky.

Another Bluesky user ticked down a list of public snooze-fests by administration officials: "First Donald Trump dozed off during his meeting with MBS in Saudi Arabia. Then Marco Rubio fell asleep during Trump’s speech. Now Scott Bessent is falling asleep too? What an utter embarrassment."

“Any of you pathetic hacks taking notice of this or are you waiting for Biden to sneeze while riding his bike?” demanded still another X user, while another posted “F------g up is exhausting.”
