Reiner, a one-time heart specialist for late Vice President (*1*), instructed “The Lead” anchor Jake Tapper that the president’s “daytime somnolence, his sleepiness” is “not really a mystery.”

“The president is very sleepy during the day; does his staff have to curtail the length of briefings that he has?” Reiner requested. “It’s not just a vanity thing; the president falls asleep. Have they had to curtail his daily CIA briefings?”
The White House has beforehand dismissed Trump’s obvious dozing as simply blinking.
