Caught Napping?

The remarks follow criticism after footage circulated of Trump appearing to close his eyes at public events. Video from UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn showed him with eyes shut while seated cageside during the Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje main event. Earlier clips from Game 3 of the NBA Finals also appeared to show the president with his eyes closed while watching the game from James Dolan's private suite with guests including his granddaughter Kai Trump and several advisers.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded, praising the president's "sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility" and saying he "remains in excellent health." Supporters argue the late-night dinner won't affect his schedule.
