URGENT UPDATE: President Donald Trump sparked confusion during a cabinet meeting earlier today, mistakenly wishing everyone a “great holiday week” even as the Thanksgiving holiday had just concluded and Christmas is still weeks away.
Trump, appearing more fatigued than usual, struggled to stay alert throughout the meeting, raising eyebrows and prompting amusement on social media. Observers noted his weariness, with several clips showing him closing his eyes, leading to comments like, “I guess we’re doing weeklong Pearl Harbor Day celebrations?”
During the meeting, Trump attempted to expedite proceedings by urging his cabinet members to speak quickly. However, officials continued their lengthy presentations, while the president was visibly fighting off sleep.
In a moment that drew attention, Trump criticized a recent New York Times article that questioned his stamina at age 79, asserting, “Trump is sharp, but they’re not sharp,” in a rare third-person reference.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later defended the president, claiming he was “listening attentively” during the marathon three-hour meeting. She touted the administration’s accomplishments, emphasizing their efforts to “Make America Great Again.”
As Trump prepares for upcoming holiday festivities, his recent display of fatigue raises questions about his capability to handle the pressures of the presidency. The cabinet meeting’s outtakes have sparked widespread discussion online, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny of Trump’s health and leadership as the nation approaches the holiday season.
Stay tuned for developments as the conversation continues to unfold.
