Donald Trump caused Fox News fans to worry over his health as his face appeared to “suddenly droop” live on TV. Trump appeared to fall asleep during a press conference in the Oval Office while US health secretary RFK Jr. gave a speech about childhood vaccines, with his own hands shaking as he held a sheaf of papers.

Trump looked close to falling out of his chair as he leaned to one side during the televised panel, in which he advocated spreading inoculations over five separate visits rather than delivering them all at once. Trump said during the meeting: “At one year, you should have five separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day.

“I’ve seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda, and [they] pour it into a little child’s body.”

He went on to insist: “Decades ago, children received only a small fraction of the vaccines required today. In those times, people were much healthier, and of course, the high rates of autism now observed did not exist.

“There’s a reason for such epidemic rates of autism.”

Trump’s unfounded claims, which are not backed by scientific evidence, took a backseat to worries for the president’s own health on social media.

One X user tweeted: “Holy sh** Trump is OUT!”

Someone else agreed: “He’s just constantly drooping to one side.”

And a third penned: “At this point, it’s news when he makes it through a public event without falling asleep.”

A fourth social media user commented: “‘Sleepy Joe’ never once fell asleep like this. Trump does it literally all the time. Incredible.”

Somebody else posted: “There is so much going on here. Trump is sleeping while RFK Jr. shakes uncontrollably.”
