Overview
- An analysis by The Daily Beast found 565 Truth Social posts in April, about 18 per day, with 189 between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. and activity on most nights.
- Using those timestamps, the report estimated the president gets roughly three hours of sleep per night, which is far below medical guidance for healthy adults.
- Examples cited include a 2:49 a.m. image portraying him in a Jesus-like scene, a 10:35 p.m. photo of Paris’s Arc de Triomphe, and a 4 a.m. graphic that appeared to threaten Iran.
- Reactions split, with Daily Beast editors calling the pattern a sign of erratic decision-making tied to recent Iran moves, and the White House calling the posts direct communication with the public.
- Footage from meetings and a White House briefing showed the president with eyes closed for long stretches, which critics linked to poor sleep and allies framed as routine fatigue.
