US President Donald Trump spent years turning Joe Biden’s age and perceived lack of energy into a political liability. “Sleepy Joe” became one of the most recognizable labels in modern American politics. But now, every prolonged blink, every moment of apparent drowsiness, is being scrutinized through the same lens he helped create. Whether Trump is actually falling asleep or simply enduring long meetings with his eyes closed is almost beside the point. In politics, perception often matters more than reality. And when you build a brand around stamina, strength and relentless energy, even a few seconds of closed eyes can become a headline. The nickname that once defined his opponent is now following him around—and Washington is enjoying the irony. The White House insists there is nothing to see. His supporters say the clips are misleading. His critics say the videos speak for themselves. Social media, meanwhile, has already delivered its verdict: if you spent years mocking your opponent for looking tired, don’t be surprised when the internet returns the favour. Perhaps that is the real story here. Not whether Donald Trump is sleeping, blinking, or simply bored. But how political narratives come full circle. The standards politicians create for others eventually become the standards by which they themselves are judged. Watch Vantage on Firstpost with Hem Kaur Saroya.
