THE OFFENSE

Dr. Jonathan Reiner joined Kate Bolduan on CNN’s morning show where they sowed doubt about his health, “The president has severe daytime somnolence. He falls asleep very often. He’s fallen asleep in the Oval Office on multiple occasions with people talking to him, in the cabinet room.”"

The White House can come out and fact check things. But this is more than fact checking, it's attacking.

It's pretty obvious Trump is falling asleep in meetings.

Trump says he shuts eyes in Cabinet meetings because they're 'boring as hell'

President Trump offered a new explanation for closing his eyes and appearing to fall asleep during Cabinet meetings: They're boring.

"Trump says he shuts eyes in Cabinet meetings because they're 'boring as hell'"

He's basically admitted to it himself. Though like Putin won't mention war (nor Trump for that matter), he'll say he "closed his eyes" rather than slept.

So, he's not actually fact checking, because what he's checking is, in fact, TRUE. He's trying to control a narrative by attacking.
