The world watched as cameras captured a moment that quickly set the internet ablaze — former President Donald Trump appearing to close his eyes during a White House meeting. Within minutes, social media dubbed him “Dozy Don,” reviving the same nickname game he once played on his predecessor.
The meeting wasn’t a light one. It focused on lowering the price of life-saving weight-loss drugs — an issue affecting millions of Americans. As Dr. Mehmet Oz, now leading Medicare services, spoke passionately beside the Resolute Desk, Trump’s head tilted back, eyes seemingly shut. “People can finally sleep peacefully,” Oz said, unaware of the irony the moment would later hold.

Critics laughed. Supporters fumed. And the White House fought back, calling the rumors “absolute garbage.” In their statement, officials insisted Trump had been fully alert, answering press questions and leading what they called “a historic step to help Americans with diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.”
Despite the storm, the message beneath the controversy was clear — a promise to make essential medicine more affordable. And as debates raged online, one question lingered quietly: When politics becomes performance, who’s really awake — and who’s just pretending to be?
