President Donald Trump appeared to doze off in the middle of his close friend Lindsey Graham's funeral on Tuesday.

The 80-year-old leader, whose marriage to Melania Trump is at its lowest point due to a 'disturbing' reason, looked to be struggling to keep his eyes open, despite delivering remarks just moments before. Users online were quick to comment on Trump's health, with one writing: "Maybe (hopefully) he’s trying to pay Lindsey Graham a visit."

Another wrote: "I reckon he'll be joining Lindsey real soon." It comes after Karoline Leavitt accidentally humiliated Trump as critics asked about his 'diaper'.

Trump eulogizes Graham

Trump remembered Graham as someone who became a “constant fixture of American politics at the highest level, and a force to be reckoned with all over the world.”

“For more than 30 years, nothing of consequence happened in this capital without Lindsey Graham knowing about it. Nothing of significance happened anywhere in the world without Lindsey Graham having a view on it,” Trump said. “And no bill became law in the most exceptional Republican human history without Lindsey Graham having a say in it.”

Graham, son of pool hall owners, rose to become one of his generation’s more influential U.S. politicians at home and abroad.

His remains arrived at the U.S. Capitol, where the Republican served for more than 30 years as an indefatigable dealmaker who talked and laughed and badgered his colleagues into action. His flag-draped casket was carried inside by an armed forces team in recognition of his military service.

“Lindsey was a towering figure,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, adding there was “no one more capable of cracking up a room.”

“I look forward to the days when you make us all laugh again,” said Thune, R-S.D., choking back tears.

During the president's speech, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy were in attendance, a nod to Graham’s role as a foremost believer in the power of the U.S. and its military to intervene in the world’s problems.
