A man in a suit stands on talk show stage.

Jimmy Kimmel has made many jokes about Trump appearing to fall asleep at events, but the most recent occasion gave him the perfect joke setup.

"The president right now is working very hard to right the ship that definitely isn't sinking," says Kimmel in the clip. "Trump held an event yesterday to triumphantly announce a $54 billion investment in natural gas."

Cue footage of Trump with his eyes closed in a room full of men taking turns to praise him, offering Kimmel the ideal joke setup: "Only Donald Trump would fall asleep during a press conference with the Secretary of Energy."
