Dr. Oz is trying to nonchalantly determine if he's still breathing. The guy on the far right seems like he's deciding whether to step to the side to let him slide out of his chair, but with a minimum of concern. RFK JR is having an inner discussion with his brainworm.

on the right looks like he is speaking specifically to Trump, but trumpy is just snoozing away. Kennedy looks like he’s thinking he’s sleeping again and why the hell am I here for this ridiculous meeting.

she showed the video of his head tilting to the side, clearly he's falling asleep and then waking up, straightening his head and then falling asleep again. It is beyond bizarre.
