Historic First Televised Camp David Cabinet Meeting Also Makes History as First Televised Camp David Nap
In a meeting billed by the White House as a 'historic' first — the earliest live, televised Cabinet meeting ever held at the presidential retreat — the President made a bit of history of his own, eyes drooping and occasionally shutting entirely as the two-hour session wore on. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent touted the economy from across the table; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sat close enough to nudge him back to consciousness. Asked about it later, the President explained that cameras simply keep catching him mid-blink. Several long, camera-friendly blinks, several times, for two-plus hours.
