Latest Trump gaffe most concerning yet: ‘What a disaster'
President Donald Trump is taking heat online for falling asleep during a ceremony with the Saudi royal family. The president arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday as part of a four-day tour of the Middle East, according to The Daily Beast. Following his arrival, Trump took part in an on-camera ceremony with the royal family, where he appeared to doze off. Videos posted on social media show Trump closing his eyes for extended periods during the ceremony. At the end of the clip, the president jolts up and opens his eyes fully. Anti-Trump posters on X mocked the president for sleeping during the ceremony. 'How do you sleep in front of the media?' wrote X user Republicans Against Trump. 'What a disaster,' posted Democratic Wins Media. This isn't the first time Trump has been accused of dozing off in public. In 2024, the New York Times reported that Trump, 78, appeared to have nodded off when he was in a courtroom for pretrial motions related to his criminal trial that took place in New York. Last month, the White House released Trump's medical report following his annual physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. 'President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function,' Trump's doctor, Capt. Sean Barbabella, wrote. Before Trump was sworn into office for his second term, President Joe Biden was the oldest person to become president at age 78. In 2024, Biden appeared to have fallen asleep during a meeting with African leaders, according to The Daily Beast.

Trump faces backlash from MAGA allies over reported jet gift from Qatar
Former President Donald Trump is facing criticism from prominent conservative voices over reports that he plans to accept a luxury jet from Qatar. The proposed gift, first reported by CNN, has been described by several of Trump's own allies as unethical and potentially damaging. BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican podcaster Ben Shapiro just went scorched Earth against Donald Trump's corrupt bargain with Qatar. This is — Democratic Wins Media (@DemocraticWins) May 12, 2025 Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro called the move 'indefensible' on his Monday podcast. He argued that if a Democrat did the same, 'we'd all be freaking out on the right,' drawing comparisons to other alleged examples of influence peddling, including Trump's cryptocurrency sweepstakes. I love Donald Trump. Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. Qatar funds the Muslim Brotherhood which funds BLM, ANTIFA, and every Islamic radical in the United States. Qatar is financing terrorism and chaos in America. This is undeniable. It's a proven fact. — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) May 12, 2025 I love President Trump. I would take a bullet for him. But, I have to call a spade a spade. We cannot accept a $400 million 'gift' from jihadists in suits. The Qataris fund the same Iranian proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah who have murdered US Service Members. The same… — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) May 11, 2025 Conservative commentator Laura Loomer echoed that frustration in a series of posts on X, writing, 'This is really going to be such a stain on the admin if this is true.' She cited Qatar's past relationship with Hamas as a key concern. Fox News host Mark Levin reposted her comments, simply adding, 'Ditto.' Although Trump has defended the plan—claiming that only 'stupid people' would reject such an offer—others in the MAGA media ecosystem remain uneasy. Talk radio host Erick Erickson questioned Qatar's status as a U.S. ally and warned the deal could lead to legal trouble, particularly given that Pam Bondi, who reportedly approved the gift, had previously lobbied for Qatar. Andrew McCarthy, contributing editor at National Review, also criticised the move in a column, arguing that the administration 'doesn't grasp the concepts of constitutional duty and conflicts of interest.' Batya Ungar-Sargon, appearing on Newsmax, went further, calling the gift 'a bribe.' Despite the backlash, right-wing television coverage has largely avoided the controversy. Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said on Fox & Friends the deal would comply with legal standards but did not address conflict of interest concerns.

'Stunning Freudian Slip': Trump's Hot Take On Bullies Leads To Epic 'Self Own'
President Donald Trump on Tuesday offered up his thoughts on bullies, but his critics said he may as well have been talking about himself. The moment came as Trump was speaking to reporters in the White House about his plans to redevelop Gaza and his Saturday deadline for Hamas to release its remaining Israeli hostages. 'I don't think they're gonna make the deadline, personally, I think they wanna play tough guy,' Trump said. 'But we'll see how tough they are.' One reporter asked if that deadline would undermine peace talks. Trump said he didn't think so, adding: 'You know bullies? You know what a bully is, right? You know the bully, I've always ― and I found it throughout my life ― a bully is the weakest person. And they're bullies. Hamas is bullies. The weakest people are bullies. You know that, right?' Trump's critics were quick to point out that he's been accused of being a bully himself often enough ― and they called his comments about them being 'the weakest people' something of a confession: Donald Trump self-owns:"A bully is the weakest weakest people are bullies." — Art Candee 🍿🥤 (@ArtCandee) February 11, 2025 BREAKING: In a stunning Freudian slip, Donald Trump just admitted that the weakest people in life are bullies. Donald, you should look in the mirror. — Democratic Wins Media (@DemocraticWins) February 11, 2025 Trump: "A bully is the weakest weakest people are bullies."What a scathing tragic that he lacks the intelligence to realize — Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 (@JoshEakle) February 11, 2025 Projection Don strikes again — Alex Parker (@AlexParker) February 11, 2025
