On Fox & Friends on Sept. 23, Melania Trump said Donald Trump was “very focused,” worked “nonstop” and had more energy than anyone, describing his workday as lasting from morning to evening. Critics challenged her account online, citing footage they interpreted as him dozing.
The footage came from a Sept. 2 Oval Office meeting, where Trump closed his eyes while an executive spoke. Critics said he had dozed off, while other viewers argued he was looking down or contemplating. Some social media users also defended Melania’s description of his work ethic.
