President Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 memorial ceremony.

The president dozed off at multiple points during the event Friday, slumped over in his chair with his eyes closed and his head hanging down while everyone else onstage—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Melania Trump, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—was clearly awake.

That second photo... he's definitely had a stroke right? Some photos from the last several months have shown that drooping side of his mouth and this one is pretty clear.

Sure looks like it. It could be Bells Palsey too though, an inflammation of the nerve going to one side of the face, caused by an inflammation a nerve from infection or a virus or unknown causes.

The way to tell, if it's Bells Palsey, the eyebrow still works, if it's a stroke, the eyebrow is frozen too.
