00:00Today, President Donald Trump faced fresh scrutiny. After a moment at the inaugural

00:04meeting of his newly created Board of Peace went viral, not for what was said, but for

00:09what it looked like he wasn't doing. During the gathering in Washington, D.C.,

00:14meant to unite world leaders around plans for international peace and reconstruction efforts,

00:18video footage captured Trump appearing to nod off or struggle to keep his eyes open as the

00:23lengthy session wore on. The moment spread quickly across social media and critics seized on it as

00:28yet another sign of the president's diminishing energy levels at 79. In clips circulated online,

00:34Trump can be seen briefly closing his eyes while others address the room during the first official

00:38Board of Peace meeting, a gathering that lasted several hours with speeches from various dignitaries.

00:43At one point, cameras caught him jolting awake as applause broke out,

00:48adding fuel to the online discussion about the president's alertness during formal proceedings.

00:54The Board of Peace itself is one of Trump's most ambitious initiatives

00:58of his second term. Established late last year and officially launched this month,

01:02the Board aims to support reconstruction and stability in the Gaza Strip following the recent

01:06conflict there, and to serve as a broader, global peace-building body under U.S. leadership.

01:12Member states have pledged billions of dollars toward humanitarian aid and reconstruction,

01:17and Trump announced a substantial U.S. contribution, though details on funding and congressional

01:21approval remain unclear. Trump's critics were quick to respond to the footage with political rivals,

01:26including California Governor Gavin Newsom, mocking the president online and dubbing

01:31him Dozy Don over the apparent moment of exhaustion. Supporters of Trump, however, argue that brief

01:36moments of eye-closing are no cause for concern and can simply reflect a long session or a camera angle

01:41that doesn't tell the full story. They emphasize his continued role in hosting global leaders and

01:46pushing forward controversial diplomatic efforts. Still, the viral moment marked another chapter in the

01:51ongoing debate over Trump's stamina, age, and fitness for office — topics that have surfaced repeatedly

01:57in the past year during public appearances, rallies, and media coverage of his presidential duties.
