Megyn Kelly shares her thoughts on Donald Trump ‘occasionally nodding off’
Megyn Kelly defended Donald Trump after people mocked him for occasionally nodding off. The US President recently faced criticism for seemingly taking a nap during a Memorial Day event. In the viral clip, he could be seen sitting with his eyes shut during Pete Hegseth’s speech. The video quickly started making rounds on social media. Many users took jabs at him for apparently dozing off during the event.
People left several comments on the video on X, with many claiming that he simply looked “bored.” Others joked that he only likes staying awake when the topic is about him or when he is the one speaking.
While many people continued mocking him online, Kelly seemingly defended Trump in a recent X post. She wrote that she finds it amusing how people assume Trump’s “occasional nodding off” is linked to a medical issue. Kelly added that it could simply be because he is exhausted, does not get proper sleep at night, or because such events can be long and tiring.
Moreover, this is not the first time Trump has been caught seemingly dozing off during an event. Earlier, a photo of him went viral, showing him with his eyes closed during a discussion in the Oval Office. Additionally, footage from December 2025 reportedly showed him frequently closing his eyes during a Cabinet meeting.
