Donald Trump was has been accused of struggling to stay awake during the Queen’s speech on Monday evening at the state dinner and appears to jolt himself awake. Eagle-eyed viewers noticed the strange moment and took to Twitter to comment their confusion at the situation. The Queen began her speech by saying: “Tonight we celebrate an alliance that has helped to ensure the safety and prosperity of both our people for decades.

“I believe it will endure for many years to come.” At the beginning of the speech, Mr Trump can be seen with his head bowed with his eyes closed. Moments after the Queen started speaking he bolts upright and begins to nod in agreement towards the Queen. However, the President could then be seen bowing his head once more as his eyes close again.
