Trump's brief nod at Graham funeral contested by footage review
Snopes analyzed livestream clips from Sen. Lindsey Graham's July 28, 2026 funeral and found that Trump closed his eyes briefly—about four seconds at one point—but there is no evidence he was fully sleeping for an extended period. The claim circulated with edited clips and miscaptioned stills; other footage shows moments of alertness, and a White House spokesperson framed the moment as reflection. Overall, the footage suggests brief eye closures rather than a definitive sleep episode, and confirmation would require comment from Trump or his team.
