Images of President Donald Trump appearing to close his eyes during a Thursday Oval Office announcement on cutting prices for weight loss drugs raced across social media, drawing taunts from critics, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office. The White House said he was not sleeping, noting he spoke throughout, took many questions, and called it a historic cut on two drugs.
