Jimmy Kimmel slammed President Donald Trump during Thursday night’s show for once again appearing to doze off during an Oval Office meeting.
Trump was announcing a planned liquefied natural gas pipeline in Alaska with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. As Lutnick, Wright and others showered the president with praise, Trump appeared to close his eyes.

“President Trump, by far, and I’ve said this before, has been the greatest president in the history of our state. The United States offers our allies and our friends abroad something that they can’t find anywhere else,” Rep. Nick Begich (R-Alaska) said.
“That’s right. Something they can’t find anywhere else – a president who’s completely zonked out in a room full of people kissing his ***,” Kimmel said.

The late-night host added that this sort of thing used to keep Trump’s attention.
“Only Donald Trump would fall asleep during a press conference with the secretary of energy,” Kimmel said.
Trump has been accused numerous times of falling asleep during public events. The White House has denied these claims, saying that he is just “blinking.”
