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.

King jokes with guests and views exhibitions at sustainability event
The King joked with Stella McCartney about getting her father Sir Paul to perform a gig for him as he inspected projects to solve environmental problems at a sustainability event. Charles welcomed executives and representatives of international government on Tuesday at Hampton Court Palace as part of the Terra Carta exhibition hosted by the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI). The SMI was set up by the then Prince of Wales in 2020 to accelerate the world's transition to a sustainable future. The King was welcomed by Jennifer Jordan-Saifi, chief executive of SMI, and Dr Andrew Forrest, executive chairman and founder of Australian tech company Fortescue, as the sun was setting over Clock Court. The Halo string quartet played covers of Wicked's Defying Gravity and Pink's What About Us as they shook hands. Charles was then shown Fortescue's electric Formula GEN3 vehicle, one of the world's highest-performing all-electric race cars, prompting him to say: 'God, this must accelerate to 100 in seconds. Terrifying.' The King was then led inside to meet a number of guests, including fashion designer McCartney, who has worked with SMI since 2021. She told him: 'I am loving being here. I love that you have included me, thank you.' Charles then asked after her father, Sir Paul McCartney, who is currently on tour. 'You should get him to come and do a gig here for you,' she quipped. He then met winners of the Terra Carta Design Lab, a global competition set up by SMI to challenge students to create sustainable solutions to environmental problems. Speaking about meeting the King, the US winner of the Terra Carta Design Lab, Felicia Neuhof, whose project turned discarded shellfish waste into furniture and fixtures, told the PA news agency: 'It's an absolutely surreal experience and it's extremely exciting and just engaging to know that his support is making this not just a concept but a real prototype for the future.' The King then joined guests in the Great Hall, where he watched a video on the work of SMI, which he launched in Davos in 2020. The King stood on the stage as Ms Jordan-Saifi gave a speech to guests. She said: 'As we think seven generations ahead, we must ask ourselves if we are doing enough, as CEOs and as leaders, we look to you, your majesty, for your vision, for your lifelong service, your moral courage and your relentless commitment to action.' Her voice began to break as she added: 'At this point in the journey, we would like to thank you and assure you that we remain committed and will continue to raise the bar. Thank you.'

P!NK Steals the Show with Cover of 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You' at FireAid: Watch
The post P!NK Steals the Show with Cover of 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You' at FireAid: Watch appeared first on Consequence. On Thursday night, P!NK was one of many artists who performed at the FireAid benefit concert, taking the stage at the Kia Forum for an impassioned set that included a cover of Led Zeppelin's version of 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.' P!NK began her portion of the night with a rendition of 2017 song 'What About Us,' after which she told the crowd that she was going to 'keep my feet on the ground' with 'a couple of songs that bring me comfort.' She then launched into a stirring cover of the Janis Joplin classic 'Me and Bobby McGee.' After belting her heart out on the 'Bobby McGee' outro — which made her 'almost pass out' — she took a drink and asked the audience 'We got any Led Zeppelin fans out there?' Responding to their applause, she said 'Alright, thank God' and introduced the next song: her version of 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.' P!NK, of course, is a very talented vocalist, and brought those skills to her take on the song, leaning into its bluesy feel with a smoky grit, and soulfully wailing over its high-energy breakdowns. For the climax, her guitarist delivered a blistering solo. Watch a clip of the performance below. FireAid was organized to raise relief funds for Los Angeles after devastating wildfires his the city earlier this month. The concert was held across two venues, and featured performances by Nirvana, Green Day and Billie Eilish, Joni Mitchell, Anderson .Paak and Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, No Doubt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks, Jelly Roll, Sting, Stephen Stills, John Mayer, Earth, Wind, & Fire, and more.
