Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who once served as cardiologist to the late Vice President Dick Cheney, suggested Wednesday that Donald Trump should undergo a new medical evaluation following an odd moment in the Oval Office.
Reiner, now a medical analyst for CNN, shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, showing Trump appearing to close his eyes for an extended period while surrounded by officials, aides and guests during the signing of a bill allowing whole milk to be served in school cafeterias.
“The president seems to be struggling with excessive daytime somnolence,” Reiner wrote, a reference to multiple instances in recent weeks of Trump appearing to nod off during public events.
“Repeatedly falling asleep with a dozen people surrounding your desk is not normal,” he added. “It needs to be evaluated.”
Reiner has raised concerns about Trump’s health several times before.
