Donald Trump delivered another unusual speech on Thursday that left many attendees and viewers baffled. Speaking at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC, the former president launched into what many described as a rambling monologue about sleeping on planes.
"You can go and sleep. We have quarters prepared for you. I said: ‘No no, I don't have to sleep. I've been on a plane sleeping for twenty… I mean, I sleep on the plane,'" he said. "I don't sleep on planes. I don't like sleeping on planes. You know, I like looking out the window watching for missiles and enemies, actually.” The comment drew laughter from the audience, but it quickly became a topic of concern on X (formerly Twitter), with many users questioning Trump’s mental fitness. Some described the speech as a mix of humor and bravado, while others openly expressed worry about his mental health.
The president has a history of avoiding sleep during Air Force One flights, often citing his desire to stay alert for potential threats. His remarks came while recounting a conversation with Daniel "Raizin" Caine, the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about defeating ISIS during Trump’s first term. According to Trump, Mr. Caine had prepared a space for him to nap on a 20-hour flight, but he refused in order to strategize on military operations.

Trump went on to highlight what he described as the renewed strength of the U.S. military under his leadership, citing accomplishments such as targeting Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and Iran’s nuclear facilities. "Two years ago, you couldn't get anybody to go into the military. They laughed at you and they said they didn't respect our country. They didn't respect our president. They thought it was a joke. They thought our country was a joke," he said. He also emphasized the gains in U.S. trade policy and hinted at favorable decisions from the Supreme Court.
