The White House social media account, Rapid Response 47, shared multiple screenshots of CNN reporters and anchors with their eyes closed on May 26, 2026. This followed comments made by CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who suggested that President Donald Trump may have a sleep disorder known as hypersomnia, which causes excessive daytime sleepiness. Reiner cited instances where Trump appeared to struggle to stay awake, urging the White House to evaluate the president's condition. The posts from the White House appeared after Reiner's comments, although there was no direct confirmation that they were a response to him. Trump had earlier stated that his recent medical appointment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center went 'perfectly.' The Washington Examiner reached out to CNN for a response.
