Trump Appears to Fall Asleep Again in Public, Further Fueling Speculation About His Health
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During Thursday's signing ceremony, Trump struggled to stay awake; it's
the latest in a series of recent public events where Trump appeared to
fall asleep in front of cameras. That's fueled further speculation about
his health. California Congressmember Sydney Kamlager-Dove wrote on
social media, "The Alzheimer's drug Leqembi: Is administered through an
infusion (for example, through the hand); can cause swelling, bleeding,
or fluid leakage in the brain, requiring regular MRIs; can cause
tiredness. Curious."
