Trump's staff has "counseled him to try to keep his eyes open during public events"

According to a New Year's Day Wall Street Journal report on Trump's health, the 79-year-old president has visibly slowed according to White House insiders since his first term ended following his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. People close to Trump report he is "showing signs of aging in public and private," with sleep deprivation emerging as a concern within his inner circle.

Staff members have advised Trump to moderate his schedule and remain vigilant about maintaining alertness during public appearances. The optics of the president appearing to doze off have prompted concern among his advisers. Cameras captured Trump appearing to doze in December during a cabinet meeting and in November during an announcement about reducing costs for weight-loss medication.

The report states, "Trump’s staff have also counseled him to try to keep his eyes open during public events."

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has joined others in addressing the situation. "Wiles and others have urged cabinet members to shorten their presentations, according to administration officials," the report notes, representing an attempt to minimize extended periods requiring Trump's sustained attention.
