Overview
- On Feb. 24, Sen. Tommy Tuberville told Fox Business' Kudlow that Trump is "the hardest-working president ever" who "sleeps about two hours a day."
- He praised what he cast as a U.S. operation in Venezuela to oust Nicolás Maduro and endorsed Trump's efforts involving Greenland.
- The two-hour figure is Tuberville's claim, and outlets have not corroborated it.
- Social media critics mocked the comment, pointing to recent instances where Trump appeared to doze in public and to visible bruising and leg swelling reported by HuffPost.
- The White House in July disclosed a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency for the president, with a follow-up medical visit announced in October, while Tuberville campaigns for Alabama governor.
