‘Dozy Don’ allegations reappear after president closes eyes during Dr. Oz speech President photographed appearing to doze during announcement of price cuts for weight loss drugs – which tackle obesity and aid sleep. And guess what! Taylor Swift has an opinion

Donald Trump has once again been labelled “Dozy Don” by Governor of California Gavin Newsom, this time after the president appeared to doze off during an Oval Office meeting about how tackling obesity can improve sleep.

Trump, 79, was seen with his eyes closed at several moments during the televised event, where his government announced lower prices for weight loss drugs for Medicare and Medicaid recipients.

“People can sleep again, because they can breathe when they go to bed,” said Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Meanwhile, the president was photographed leaning back into his chair with his eyes closed, prompting Newsom to post “Dozy Don is back!”

During the event, a man standing behind Trump stumbled and collapsed, after apparently fainting.

Newsom previously described the president as “Dozy Don”, after the commander-in-chief appeared to fall asleep last month during a widely criticized “Antifa roundtable”.

Newsom’s ribbing is a nod to Trump’s own nickname for “Sleepy Joe” Biden, who was 81 when he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, and 82 when he finished his term. Trump became the oldest president ever to be sworn in, at 78 years and 7 months old, and will also be 82 upon completing this term in office.
