You've been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep. That's false. That's false. I've never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem because he calls me at 2 in the morning. He calls me at 5 in the morning. And, you know, I like to sleep a little bit, maybe not 12 hours or, but at least 6. So he works, the other day he was at the Oval Office until 12.30 p.m.

12.m. I don't know what you're talking about.

President Trump had one of those extended blinks again yesterday during a meeting in the Oval

Office. One day after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress he has never seen President

Trump fall asleep on the job.

The president seemed to be fully passed out in the Oval Office yesterday, while EPA administrator Lee Zeldon was discussing clean coal just to his left.

Good morning. Welcome to morning. Joe. It is Friday, June 5th, with us, the co-host of our 9 a.m.

Our staff writer at the Atlantic, Jonathan Lemire, and managing editor at the bulwark, Sam Stein.

Yeah, so this was yesterday, the scene here. And there's other footage where he seems fully slumped to sleep to one side of his chair, and then he kind of shifts and falls asleep on the other side of the chair. I mean, it's a long blink. We could count it off if you'd like. He had had a Rose Garden event. They've, they've, as many, one of the many transformations of the White House right now,

they've turned the Rosegarded into the Marlago pot patio, and he had dinners.

So he had a dinner there that went reasonably late on Wednesday, so the night before this scene.

And he did have some late night truth socialing, as he always does.

But this is becoming almost a daily occurrence.

And as much as the White House likes to push back on this, there are questions about, you know,

his health, his fitness. He had another physical at Walter Reed a week or so back. We haven't

really gotten much in the way of results. A week from Sunday, he turns 80. And yes, we heard for four years about sleepy Joe Biden,
