Fox fans fume as Jesse Watters claims Trump never | TV Shows

Jesse Watters has been slammed by Fox News viewers after claiming Donald Trump is “the man who never sleeps,” despite a number of pictures of him dozing off in important conferences. 

During the January 22 episode of Jesse Watters Primetime, the controversial host, 47, mentioned quite a few breaking news topics, such as the potential acquisition of Greenland, the probe into House Representative Ilhan Omar and Trump’s journey to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum.

In a phase, which featured the chyron, “Robot daddy failed; his name was Biden,” Watters in contrast the previous president’s insurance policies with Trump’s latest go to to Switzerland. And it was during this second that he claimed Donald Trump “never sleeps.”

“The auto-pen just cut checks, pardoned crooks, and almost bankrupted us,” Watters said, referring to Biden, 83. “I want a boss with flesh and bones, who I don’t need to program and charge his battery, like the man who never sleeps. Trump is landing back in America tonight, after a pretty busy 48 hours in Davos.”

However, despite Watters believing Trump never sleeps, there have been quite a few events when the president has been seen dozing off during important conferences.

The first instance captured of the president falling asleep at a essential second was when he drifted off during the jury choice for his “hush money” trial in New York City in 2024. Reporters inside the courtroom claimed that the 79-year-old had a nap in the courtroom, with witnesses alleging his head dropped and his mouth went slack.

More just lately, he was caught sleeping on two events in the winter of 2025, once in November and again in December, where both occasions, he appeared to go to sleep at his desk. In 2026, he was also captured struggling to keep his eyes open while signing a invoice to deliver complete milk back to faculty cafeterias.

Fox News viewers reacted to Jesse Watters’ declare that Trump “never sleeps,” with some sharing pictures of the president from conferences where his eyes are closed and he is resting his head on his hand. 

“He gets plenty of sleep,” one particular person wrote on X, alongside 9 pictures of Trump dozing off. Another particular person then added that he would not sleep “except in meetings.”

“Only when there is a room filled with people,” a third X person penned, while a fourth chimed in to say, “Except all those times he falls asleep on camera.”

“He’s too busy rage tweeting all night, but he manages to catch up on his sleep during cabinet meetings, etc etc etc,” remarked a fifth X person. 

However, Trump has responded to claims he falls asleep in conferences, saying he is either “resting” his eyes, “listening intently,” or just been photographed while he was blinking.
