dailyloe.com – Donald Trump’s activity on Truth Social from Thursday night into Friday morning suggests he may have slept less than five hours. The president posted frequently between 12:05 a.m. and 2:45 a.m. Friday, then resumed posting at 7:33 a.m., as noted by the Daily Beast.
Trump has often stated that he “doesn’t sleep much,” with praise from his press secretary and administration officials about his availability at all hours. However, he has been seen dozing off during Cabinet meetings, press conferences, and an Oval Office announcement on Thursday afternoon.
During lengthy meetings, Trump’s eyes have been observed closing for several seconds. He has previously denied allegations of sleeping, asserting that he “just closed” his eyes out of boredom.
A White House official informed The Independent that the president’s late-night posts may be made by him or by staff members catching up on articles and posts he reviewed earlier. Trump’s allies have long claimed he can function on minimal sleep.
Vice President JD Vance mentioned on Fox News in November 2024 that Trump remains awake during a 20-hour trip. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi asserted last year that no one “can keep up” with Trump due to his limited sleep.
White House Spokesperson Davis Ingle stated, “President Trump is the sharpest, most accessible, and energetic president in American history.” He emphasized that Trump’s commitment is unwavering and evident daily.
Trump is known for his enthusiastic posting on Truth Social, often sharing rants, screenshots of posts from fans or allies, AI-generated content, and favorable articles. These posting sprees typically occur late at night, on weekends, or during holidays.
On Friday morning, Trump’s early posts began around midnight with a share of a New York Post article. He criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, stating that Schumer “should resign.”
Additionally, Trump congratulated the new leadership of the Border Patrol union and reposted a video of Senator Mike Lee criticizing Democrats. He shared commentary on Lee’s video from both Lee and Elon Musk.
The president also posted a compilation video promoting the conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton orchestrated the Russia election interference narrative.
