"Trump’s head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself," Law360’s Frank G. Runyeon shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday, April 16.

"Then, his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head [droops] for a third time, he shakes his shoulders," he continued. "Eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, he pops his eyes open."

MSNBC contributor Lisa Rubin said that Trump had his eyes closed and he was "leaning to the left," while CNN's Norm Eisein tweeted simply, "Trump is asleep again."

"He appeared to be asleep, and his head would fall down," Maggie Haberman said in a recent interview. "This time, he didn't pay attention to a note his lawyer passed him.
