President Donald Trump’s official “Rapid Response” account lashed out at NCS after a damning section accusing the president of ceaselessly lapsing into sleep throughout public occasions, and diagnosing him with “severe daytime somnolence.”
Trump paid a go to to Walter Reed Medical Center on Tuesday, which was accompanied by copious coverage of Trump’s well being on cable information.
On Thursday’s edition of NCS News Central, NCS medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner gave a scathing report on Trump’s well being to anchor Kate Bolduan that included deep concern over sleep episodes:
Tthe president has extreme daytime somnolence. He falls asleep fairly often. He’s fallen asleep within the Oval Office on a number of events with folks speaking to him, within the cupboard room. And there was concern yesterday that he may need fallen asleep at Arlington National Cemetery throughout Memorial Day observances.
And continual insomnia is a extreme sickness. It may end up in a rise in danger of dementia, a lower in cognitive results in older folks. It’s equal to about growing your age by about 3 1/2 years. It will increase your cardiac danger of getting a coronary heart assault or creating congestive coronary heart failure. And it — and it may well produce a decline in your type of psychological capabilities. Like it might improve melancholy, anxiousness.
So it’s an actual downside and the president seems to battle to remain awake through the day. And I’d like to listen to what the White House has completed to guage why the president has this elevated daytime somnolence and what they’re doing to enhance that.
That protection induced a social media meltdown from the “Rapid Response 47” X/Twitter account, which is an official White House channel. At final rely, they fired off eight posts accusing NCS personalities like Bolduan, Jake Tapper, Kevin Liptak, Dana Bash, Josh Dawsey, Brianna Keilar, and others of falling alseep on the air utilizing freeze-frames or quick clips displaying the personalities with their eyes closed:
