President Donald Trump highlighted the National Memorial Day event at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday afternoon, but an apparent out-of-place gesture by Trump made headlines.
Many who watched the livestream of the event noted that Trump was apparently 'sleeping' as Pete Hegseth was speaking at the event.
Videos of Trump standing with his eyes closed for an extended period of time went viral on social media, especially amid reports of the 79-year-old's disrupted sleep cycle.
The incident sparked even more speculation as it came just a day before Trump is set to visit the Walter Reed hospital in Maryland on Tuesday for his annual health check-up.
Trump's health has been under the scanner from the early days of his presidential tenure, given how President Joe Biden's health made headlines amid allegations of cover-up.
The White House maintains that the POTUS remains fit to perform presidential duties, despite being diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a disease common among people of his age.
