JD Vance reveals Trump's troubling sleep habits amid growing concerns about his health

WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host and presidential daughter-in-law Lara Trump sat down with Vice President JD Vance to give viewers a sneak peek into the life of President Donald Trump.

The vice president used his prime-time appearance on 'My View with Lara Trump' to gush about his boss's work ethic.

JD Vance says Trump 'doesn't have an off switch'

According to Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump apparently never sleeps.

“One thing I’ve learned kind of working with him every day, he doesn’t have an off switch,” the vice president told Lara Trump. “Sometimes the president will call you at 12:30 or 2:00 in the morning, and then he’ll call you at 6:00 in the morning about a totally different topic,” Vance continued. “It’s like, ‘Mr President, did you go to sleep last night?’"

This ode to Trump’s supposed Marine Corps–style work ethic comes just days after the 79-year-old vanished from public view for nearly a week at his Virginia golf club. It’s also worth noting that he has spent more than a quarter of his second term golfing, per the Irish Star.

Vance has traveled a long road in his opinion of Trump. During the run-up to the 2016 election, he privately called Trump “reprehensible,” an “idiot,” and “America’s Hitler.” Now, he finds himself defending a boss who regularly FaceTimes him at ungodly hours.

At 79, Trump is hardly primed for all-nighters. Studies show older adults need seven to nine hours of sleep, and chronic deprivation can impair both cognitive and physical health. Still, the president has an enduring fondness for late-night posting sprees. 

Trump's social media habits amid health speculation

The small hours are when Donald Trump really shines. His Truth Social meltdowns have become a trademark, with highly provocative—and often erratic—rants dropping while most of America is fast asleep. This past Monday, after disappearing from public view for four days, Trump launched into a late-night blitz to assure the world he had “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.” The reassurance followed whispers that he might not just be in poor health, but possibly even six feet under.

Those rumors didn’t appear out of nowhere. In recent appearances, the president has been spotted with swollen calves, bruised hands, and a noticeable struggle to walk.

The White House medical team insists it’s nothing serious. They attribute Trump’s bulging ankles to chronic venous insufficiency, a relatively common condition in which aging veins fail to push blood efficiently back to the heart. As for the bruised hands, aides say it’s the result of his nonstop handshaking and a daily aspirin regimen to protect his heart.

But Trump doesn’t exactly help his own case. On September 6, he returned to Truth Social to post an AI-generated image of himself as a character from Apocalypse Now—right alongside a threat to deploy federal troops to fight crime in Chicago.
