Supercut catches Trump repeatedly nodding off after he says ‘I’m not a big sleeper’

President Donald Trump boasted at the Group of Seven on Tuesday that he's not a big sleeper — hours before a supercut surfaced of him nodding off at four White House events.Trump made the comment in Evian-les-Bains, France, explaining why a dinner invitation at Versailles wouldn't conflict with his work schedule.All it means is that I get home later in the evening, meaning early in the morning, Trump told reporters. And I'm not a big sleeper anyway. I won't lose any time in the Oval Office.The Democratic National Committee's rapid-response account, FactPost, had other ideas. Hours after clipping Trump's G7 comment, the account dropped a supercut showing the president with his eyes closed at four separate White House events.All four clips are verified. Three come from a single June 4 Oval Office event — a coal industry announcement during which Snopes confirmed Trump nodded off multiple times, eyes closed for stretches as long as 17 seconds while staff spoke around him.The fourth clip is from a December 2025 Cabinet meeting that Snopes also authenticated.The footage of the nodding-off has rattled the White House for weeks. After the June 4 event, an X post by HQNewsNow claiming Trump had passed out drew more than 4 million views — and the administration's rapid-response operation lashed out.The episode spilled into Congress. Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) confronted Secretary of State Marco Rubio with a series of clips he said showed Trump dozing off at Cabinet meetings and public appearances.'I've never seen him fall asleep,' Rubio replied.
