Trump's Behavior at Lindsey Graham's Funeral Sparks Online AttentionPreviousNext

At Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral in Washington, President Donald Trump delivered a eulogy and was seen sharing Tic Tacs with Vice President JD Vance, with videos of the moment going viral online. Some clips showed Trump attempting to toss a Tic Tac into his mouth and appearing to doze off, sparking mixed reactions on social media. Trump also made an unscripted remark about Graham being a "tough cookie." The White House dismissed health-related speculation following the event attended by global leaders.
