Jimmy Kimmel has previously covered the phenomenon of Donald Trump appearing to fall asleep in meetings, but there was apparently a key explanation he's been missing.

"Teddy Dose-velt told the Wall Street Journal that, you know the many videos of him nodding off during meetings? He says he's not sleeping, he's blinking," explains Kimmel. "That's right, he has the rare ability to hold a blink for minutes at a time. And to showcase that ability, we've put together this video montage of some of the many times he most definitely wasn't falling asleep on live TV."

The evidence appears to speak for itself.
