Our nearly 80-year-old president appears to have nodded off during a meeting, for the umpteenth time.

President Trump’s eyes grew visibly heavy around the halfway point of his televised announcement of a deal with drug company Regeneron on Thursday afternoon, closing fully and reopening multiple times while suited Cabinet members and pharmaceutical executives stood behind him in the Oval Office.

      The real version isn’t a ton better, but his head is less slumped over, and may have just been caught mid-blink.

      There’s enough other evidence that he falls asleep during meetings that there’s no need to exaggerate this one.

      People don’t understand how stuff like this undermines any point they are trying to make. All left leaning information against trump is a little more suspect every time a fake post like this is promoted as real. Isn’t the truth bad enough?

        And ultimately we can’t trust ourselves if we allow these things to go unnoticed.
        And by “we” I mean people who are not crazy or evil, which unfortunately most Republicans are.
        This is also how Russian propaganda works, take something with an element of truth, and then distort it to sow discord.
