The image of Donald Trump slumping in his chair, eyes drooping during a two-hour Cabinet meeting, instantly collided with his insistence that he is in peak condition. As aides praised his leadership and he urged them to tout their achievements, cameras caught something harder to spin: a 79-year-old president who looked exhausted while the country watched.

And for a nation staring down another bruising election, it\u2019s one more unsettling question about who is really awake at the wheel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
