APCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Donald Trump after the president was accused of falling asleep during an Oval Office event Donald Trump has been called 'Dozy Don' once again by Governor of California Gavin Newsom after the President was caught on camera appearing to nod off during a press conference at the White House. Trump appeared to doze off during an Oval Office meeting about how tackling obesity can improve sleep. The 79-year-old Republican was seen with his eyes closed at several moments during the televised event, where his government announced lower prices for weight loss drugs for Medicare and Medicaid recipients.“People can sleep again, because they can breathe when they go to bed,” said Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Despite these instances, Trump has often stated he requires very little sleep, typically 3–4 hours, with staff noting his constant work ethic.ALSO READ: Viral video: Influencer walks through Tokyo streets in white socks to test Japan's cleanliness. What happened next leaves internet in disbelief'Dozy Don is back'California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Donald Trump after the president was accused of falling asleep during an Oval Office event to announce a plan to reduce the cost of weight loss drugs in the US. “DOZY DON IS BACK!” declared Trump’s nemesis, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, in a post on X featuring an image of the 79-year-old slumped in his chair, eyes firmly closed. Newsom, who has made a habit of trolling Trump, also added a video to his post. Newsom previously described the president as “Dozy Don”, after the commander-in-chief appeared to fall asleep last month during a widely criticized “Antifa roundtable”.— GovPressOffice (@GovPressOffice) MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki also roasted Trump for his apparent power nap. “I mean, that was him in the White House today, basically appearing to nod off while his surgeon general talked about, of all things, really, dementia, obesity and sleep loss. I mean, it kind of feels a little too on the nose, doesn’t it?” she said on The Briefing with Jen Psaki, sharing the same clip as Newsom.Live EventsThe remark echoed Trump’s own nickname for “Sleepy Joe” Biden, who was 81 when he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and 82 at the end of his term.

In July, he was seen resting his eyes during an energy and innovation event, and last year he closed his eyes during the cross-examination of his former attorney Michael Cohen — as well as during the opening of his “hush money” trial involving Stormy Daniels, The Independent reported.Trump has previously been dismissive of his need for much sleep, telling supporters on the campaign trail, “You know, I’m not a big sleeper. I like three hours, four hours, I toss, I turn, I beep-de-beep, I want to find out what’s going on.”'The President never sleeps'It comes as Trump’s Cabinet takes turns to recycle a myth that the president never sleeps. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on The Katie Miller Podcast last month that “none of the White House team can keep up with him.”“I don’t know how he does it,” Bondi said. “None of us know when he sleeps.

It’s like, ‘Mr. President, did you go to sleep last night?’”How netizens reactedThe photo also evoked hilarious responses from netizens. One of the users said, "Donald Trump looks like he’s running a country in his dreams. While Americans are working double shifts to afford groceries, he’s in the Oval Office taking power naps between tantrums. The stable genius can’t even stay awake long enough to read a briefing, but he wants the nuclear codes again? America doesn’t need a nap-time dictator, it needs a leader who actually gives a damn." Another said, "There's no need to mention "Sleepy Joe" anymore. Now we have 'Dozing Don'." A user said, "I never want to hear about “Sleepy Joe” ever again when we have Dozy Dementia Don can’t keep his eyes open."Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
