President Joe Biden, 82, fell asleep during a meeting with African leaders in Angola, closing his eyes multiple times during a speech by Tanzanian Vice President Philip Mpango.
The incident occurred during the final day of a three-day summit attended by the presidents of Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. While listening to Mpango, Biden rested his hand on his face and passed out, despite wearing an earpiece for translation. However, all speakers at the time were addressing the panel in English.
The summit marked Biden’s first official bilateral trip to Africa since assuming office in 2021. His visible fatigue and hoarse voice have drawn criticism, particularly from those questioning his age and fitness for office. Biden has faced similar accusations of dozing off at other international events over the past year.

Sorry, this was a speech from the Tanzazianian VP. Give the man a break….
I fell asleep 20 sec into the clip… was a great nap
look on the good side, he did remember to zip up his zipper before coming to the table.
I would also have slept through a speech if it was given by Tanzanian Vice President Philip Mpango.
But why is anybody bashing POTUS at this stage, why beat a dead horse?
