In a fiery congressional hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu stunned the room by playing video clips showing President Trump appearing to doze off during meetings and events, directly challenging Sen. Marco Rubio’s claims about Trump’s alertness. Lieu pressed Rubio on whether he’d ever seen Trump sleeping, escalating the tension with multiple clips—including one from a Memorial Day ceremony—while Rubio defended Trump’s stamina and mental sharpness, dismissing any notion of impairment. The exchange ignited viral debate online, with many applauding Lieu’s bold, evidence-driven approach. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
