“Sleepy Don has always been unfit,” one user wrote.
“Donald Trump is sleeping on the job again,” added one. “The country would have been better off, though, if Trump had been sleeping instead of launching an unprovoked sneak attack on Iran. Congress should name a body to declare Trump unfit and remove him from the Presidency.”

Why Trump's Sleep Cycle Has Sparked Concerns
Donald Trump's sleep cycle has become a topic of major discussion during the period of the Iran war after investigations revealed his "unusual" patterns of sleep. Data-driven analysis of his Truth Social posts by The Daily Beast has revealed a surge of activity from the 79-year-old early in the morning.
Based on the analysis, the report suggested that Trump is experiencing irregular and short sleep patterns, which cause daytime fatigue. Many speculate that instances of Trump falling asleep at high-profile elects are a result of his daytime fatigue. Experts have also warned that sleep deprivation of the kind POTUS has been experiencing can impair judgement.
