During a Tax Day roundtable in Las Vegas, President Donald Trump brought attention to new tax proposals, inspired by a conversation with a local woman. He mentioned the benefits of making tip income tax-free for various service industry workers in Nevada.
While Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered a speech at the event, some viewers observed Trump appearing to doze off, with his eyes closed. Social media users expressed their concern over the president’s apparent drowsiness.
In response to the incident, an online comment joked about Trump sleeping through the event, while others questioned his sleeping habits. Trump, however, has previously stated that he sleeps only four to five hours a night, emphasizing his strong work ethic and downplaying the need for extensive sleep.
In other news, Trump discussed gas prices on Fox News, initially suggesting they might increase slightly by the November midterms but later predicting a significant decrease once the conflict with Iran is resolved. Despite ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, Trump remains optimistic about a speedy resolution to the conflict.
