Trump maintained that he wasn't sleeping, but instead, he was just closing his eyes during the cabinet meeting and press conference at the White House, The Daily Beast reported. “The last time we had a press conference, it lasted for three hours, and some people said he closed his eyes. Trump is known for not sleeping much and even using that time to post excessively on his Truth Social platform.
