Trump did not fall asleep during Republican National Convention despite viral claims

Social media users falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump fell asleep during the Republican National Convention. Videos circulated showing him with his eyes closed while colleagues cheered for him and his running mate, JD Vance. In reality, Trump was participating in a prayer at the event, not dozing off. His team has not commented on the viral clip, which has drawn ridicule online. Trump attended the convention with a bandage on his ear, following an assassination attempt days earlier when he was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania.
