Trump’s First Board of Peace Meeting Draws Criticism and Awkward Moments

Was it "exhaustion" or just "boring" speeches? A viral video from the #USInstituteOfPeace shows President #DonaldTrump appearing to struggle through the launch of his own #BoardOfPeace. Throughout the session, the President reportedly mispronounced the names of key allies, forgot specific details of the $7 billion reconstruction fund, and was eventually seen motionless with his eyes closed for several extended periods.

This #BreakingNews report analyzes the #Inquisitr breakdown of the "Bored of Peace" social media storm, the President's past defenses that he "only closes his eyes when it's boring," and the #Signalgate leaks regarding his 2.5-hour endurance limit. We explore the massive diplomatic wins that occurred despite the nap—including troop commitments from #Morocco and #Indonesia—and why critics say this "humiliating" footage proves the 79-year-old is struggling with the demands of the #2026Midterms schedule.
