'Oh my god': WaPo analysis shows Trump 'was sleeping for 20 minutes during a live event'https://www.rawstory.com/trump-sleep-20-minutes-wh/
Trump caught heat for closing his eyes through a press conference, and a new Washington Post analysis reveals the president spent nearly 20 minutes sleeping or battling sleep during the event.
Trump appeared to doze off during a press conference on Thursday, drawing both mockery and shock from political analysts and other online observers. One night later, as he was trying to shake off the Oval Office scandal, he was seen "slumping" into his limo, according to video posted by Fox News and shared by the Daily Beast Saturday.
Now, the Washington Post has published an analysis of the Oval Office event, reviving the scandal with video evidence suggesting Trump was asleep for nearly 20 minutes on that occasion.
In a Saturday article called "A closer look at Trumps apparent struggles to fight off sleep in the Oval Office," the outlet argues that its "analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open at a recent event."

The Pukes would've hired speaker trucks to circle every block broadcasting at top volume. And Media would've joined in!
