‘Sleepy Joe’ falling asleep at COP26 is a ‘metaphor’ for his presidency

President Joe Biden has been mocked and labelled “Sleepy Joe” again for appearing to fall asleep during opening sessions at the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow.

The US president sat with his arms crossed listening to the speaker but continued to close his eyes and seemed to drift off to sleep for 30 seconds before one of his aides whispered something into his ear.

The 78-year-old is the oldest person to ever serve in the top job and has continuously been accused of being unfit to lead the country.

Former Brexit party leader Nigel Farage labelled him “sleepy Joe” while hosting GB News.

"An unfortunate metaphor for the Biden presidency,” former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany wrote on Twitter.

Former physician to Barack Obama and Donald Trump Ronny Jackson wrote to Joe Biden in June urging him to submit a cognitive test to prove he was sound of mind.

"They deserve full transparency on the mental capabilities of their highest elected leader,” Congressman Jackson wrote.

"To achieve this, we urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately."
