NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has claimed that President Donald Trump often pulls all-nighters during foreign trips.
Recalling his last few days which she described as "tireless", Gabbard said the president took an 11-hour flight to and from Egypt to mark the Israel-Hamas peace deal, ending the conflict in Gaza.
Tulsi Gabbard describes Trump's sleepless nights
Gabbard made these claims on Fox News on Tuesday, October 14, on 'Jesse Watters Primetime', saying, "I know somebody made a comment on the plane, you know, [that] he goes on these long trips, these long plane rides, doesn’t sleep, he’s working throughout those flights, hits the ground running and gets directly to business."
Gabbard was likely referring to what CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins heard about traveling on Air Force One. “I had this source who said you never want to be on Air Force One on a trip,” Collins told podcaster Jason Tartick last week.
"And like, you’re going to Asia or something, and that’s kind of the only time you’re going to sleep before you go on this trip," she added.
"But Trump is just always up and talking, and he’ll like have them go and wake staff up if they’re asleep because he wants to talk to them."
Trump's team says he works around the clock
Other Trump officials have also echoed the National Intelligence Director’s stance.
"None of us can keep up with him, we always joke...I don’t know how he does it,” Attorney General Pam Bondi told Katie Miller, the wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, on her podcast.
"I mean, none of us know when he sleeps. He’s working all the time, and it’s just constant for him," she added.
Vice President JD Vance also made a similar statement, where he said, the president “doesn’t have an off switch,” and has sometimes called him at 2:00 am and again at 6:00 am.
Trump fans concerned about his health
Trump's erratic sleeping schedule has worried some of the president’s supporters, including Alex Jones, who warned earlier this year that a “collapse” could come if Trump did not “take his foot off the gas pedal.”
He said, “If the people around him could just get him to take off one day a week—if he could just go play golf and watch movies and have some fun—he deserves it."
He added that the president's chronic venous insufficiency, which causes circulation issues and swollen ankles, is a matter of concern. He noted that the president has started worrying his fans due to his talks of getting into heaven when he dies.
“I mean, you know, I’m being a little cute,” Trump told Fox’s Peter Doocy recently. “I don’t think there’s anything [that’s] going to get me in heaven. Okay? I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound.”
