White House Reacts to Photo of Trump Following Event
Following an event, a photograph depicting former President Donald Trump with his eyes closed was published by Reuters reporter Christopher Hale. The White House issued a sharp response, with a Rapid Response 47 account on X (formerly Twitter) stating, “He was twitching, idiot.”
The incident drew attention from several Democratic congressmen. Representative Ted Lieu commented on the duration of the observed movement, describing it as “a very long twitching.” In response, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung stated, “Ted is a loss of the highest order and needs professional help.”
Representative Jimmy Gomez raised concerns, suggesting, “Sleep behind the wheel and he will soon bring the whole country off the cliff.”
Hale’s original post noted that Trump maintained this posture for approximately 19 seconds.
Medical professionals and health organizations typically recommend sleep durations of 10-15 minutes for healthy adults. The White House’s reaction highlights the scrutiny surrounding the former president’s behavior.
