Fox Information senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel on Tuesday cooked up a wild excuse for President Donald Trump’s obvious sleepy time at a latest Cupboard assembly.
Siegel — who has claimed to be “mesmerized” by Trump’s public talking and has described him as “very cognitively advanced” through the years — joined Laura Ingraham’s program after she claimed the left went “crazy” over Trump closing his eyes for “a few seconds” as Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke.
Trump, who was caught napping at a White Home occasion early final month, shut his eyelids on various different events throughout Tuesday’s Cupboard assembly.
“Thomas Edison believed in the 10-minute nap, by the way. What would they say? We wouldn’t have electricity, right?” mentioned Siegel of Edison, who invented an early model of the incandescent mild bulb (not electrical energy).
Moments earlier, Siegel claimed that the president seemed to be “extremely sharp” earlier than declaring that the left’s curiosity within the president’s alleged doze-off was merely a “bait-and-switch” as critics aren’t proud of Trump’s Joe Biden “autopen” fixation.

He continued to dismiss speak surrounding Trump’s latest MRI, one which fueled additional questions concerning the president’s well being and cognitive health.
“This is a disgrace because we don’t need to see President Trump passing cognitive tests, as you just said, he passes one every single day,” Siegel argued. “Every single moment, going in and out of press conferences. I’ve never seen anything like it, actually.”
Ingraham continued to excuse Trump’s obvious sleepiness, claiming that everybody is aware of the president — who lately went on a large, hourslong posting spree that almost lasted till midnight earlier than making one other submit at 5:48 a.m. — doesn’t sleep.
“I’m not a big sleeper either. So, you know, on occasion, I close my eyes if someone is talking for too long, I admit it. But big deal. I mean, the results speak for themselves,” she mentioned. “What President Trump does on a daily basis. If you sleep three hours or four hours a night, you’re probably going to close your eyes, whether you are 79 or 49. I don’t think that matters.”
