Trump, 79, Jolts Awake After Struggling to Keep Eyes Open at 'Board of Peace'

President Donald Trump appeared to be struggling to stay awake as others spoke at his inaugural meeting of the so-called “Board of Peace.”

The president, 79, rambled for more than 45 minutes before taking a seat on stage Thursday as others addressed the group gathered in Washington, DC.

Cameras repeatedly caught Trump with his eyes closed as the event dragged on.

The president’s eyelids appeared to grow heavy on Thursday as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was speaking, less than an hour after the president took his own seat following his address.

And he sure as hell needs a distraction from Epstein, so it's time to 'Wag the Dog'.
