Donald Trump held the first meeting of his so-called Peace Board in Washington, DC, on Thursday, but it’s not exactly clear whether the president was actually “present” the entire time.

That’s because Trump appeared to have difficulty keeping his eyes open during the three-hour meeting.

Of course, that was when Trump wasn’t doing his own ramblings… that is, “weaving” everything from the physical attractiveness of Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Paraguayan President Santiago Peña to the tragedy of not receiving that damn Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump falling asleep on Thursday is nothing new. He has appeared to fall asleep at several public events over the past few months.

Last July, Trump struggled to keep his eyes open during a televised White House event on “Making Health Tech Great Again.”

After Trump appeared to fall asleep during a press meeting in November, Newsom trolled him by calling him “Dozy Don.”

In early December, Trump barely seemed able to stay awake at two different events less than a week apart.
