White House: 'He was contemplating the loss of a dear friend'

An article reports on video footage circulating online showing former U.S. President Donald Trump appearing to fall asleep during the funeral service of Senator Lindsey Graham. The videos, taken at the National Cathedral in Washington, show Trump sitting in the first row with his eyes closed and head lowered multiple times. While the footage has sparked debate online, with some suggesting Trump was sleeping and others defending him by noting it is common to appear tired during long ceremonies, the White House has denied claims of sleepiness, stating Trump was reflecting on the loss of his friend. The incident has reignited discussions about Trump's energy levels and health, with past concerns about his daytime sleepiness resurfacing.
