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.

I’ve had a similar experience with California governor Newsom. Like or hate his politics (I generally agree with them), he was genuinely nice the numerous times I waited on him. He’s a restaurant guy at heart, and was interested in our operation, so we talked about that a bunch.
