White House Explodes Over Viral Video of Sleepy Donald Trump [View all]

A viral video of Donald Trump sitting with his eyes closed sent the White House's social media operation into full meltdown mode.

The administration's Rapid Response account lashed out on Thursday after videos circulated online appearing to show the 79-year-old president slumped sideways in his chair during an Oval Office event promoting what he called "Beautiful, Clean Coal."

One viral post, that at the time of writing has received more than 4 million views, claimed Trump was "completely passed out asleep" during the announcement and sarcastically wondered how long it would take before the White House insisted he had merely been "blinking."

The White House then took the bait.
