Trump mocked as ‘Dozy Don’ after photo
1. Viral Moment
The Trump administration pushed back after footage showed the
president appearing to nod off during a televised Oval Office briefing.
Cameras captured Trump with his “eyes closed” as Dr. Mehmet Oz announced plans to
lower the cost of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, sparking the nickname “Dozy Don.”
2. Online Mockery
Critics highlighted the irony, recalling Trump’s past jabs at “Sleepy Joe.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom reposted the clip, declaring, “DOZY DON IS BACK,”
and shared a meme calling Trump “The Nodfather.”
3. White House Response
Officials dismissed the claims as “garbage,” insisting, “The President was not sleeping; in fact,
he spoke throughout and took many questions from the press.”
They accused the “liberal media” of ignoring what they called a “historic reduction in prices” for life-saving drugs.
4. A Chaotic Week
Amid the uproar, another White House event turned tense when a pharmaceutical executive collapsed,
though Dr. Oz later confirmed the man “had recovered after receiving medical attention.”
