Donald Trump’s aides are in a constant state of panic about the elderly president dozing off on camera—not least because he blows up at them afterward—according to his biographer.

Trump, 79, appeared to fall asleep in the middle of a televised roundtable with lawmakers and farmers on Monday—less than a week after he was caught drifting off at a Cabinet meeting.

“I mean, you can’t wake him up. Also, the cameras are running. Everybody is in a low-level panic now all of the time about Trump falling asleep because then he gets mad,” Wolff said. “He gets angry. He essentially blames the people around him for the fact that he fell asleep.”
