A clip shows him nodding off mid-sentence while discussing trade agreements, with his eyes closing and head dropping before jolting awake. The host contrasts this with Trump's 2024 campaign claim that "you'll never see me sleeping in front of cameras," noting he has done so repeatedly, including on a beach.
