President Trump Appears Tired During 9/11 Pentagon Memorial CeremonyPreviousNext

At a Pentagon ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Donald Trump appeared tired, with observers noting his lip drooping and eyes closing during the event. Some viewers speculated about a possible stroke or that he had fallen asleep, while Trump and First Lady Melania attended as names of the victims were read. Vice-President JD Vance participated in the New York ceremony, where political speeches were not allowed, contrasting with the Pentagon event where officials spoke.
