Donald Trump Admits ‘Operation Epic Fury’ Name Choices Made Him ‘Feel Asleep’
Donald Trump admitted that when it came to choosing a name for the military action in Iran, he was given a list of terms that almost put him to sleep. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The 79-year-old president bragged about the name Operation Epic Fury and how he chose it after being presented with 20 other snooze-worthy options.
“As we take decisive action to stop the threat from the terrorist regime in Iran with Operation Epic Fury,” Trump said at a rally in Kentucky on March 11, before adding, “Is that a great name?”
The crowd let out a loud approval as they cheered.
“Well, it’s only good if you win… And we won,” he continued. “Let me just say we won. We won the bet within the first hour; it was over.’
When it came to handling the operation, Trump said: “They gave me a list of names to choose from. ‘Sir, you can choose the name you want, sir,'” he was told in the early morning hours of February 28, as coordinated airstrikes on Iran by the US and Israel were about to begin.
“I said, ‘The name of what?’” Trump asked, and he was told, “’The name of the attack on Iran, sir.”
“And they gave me twenty names, and I fell asleep. I didn’t like any of them,” the president snorted.
And in true Trump fashion, the biggest, strongest, and most exaggerated term won.
“Then I see ‘Epic Fury,’” he recalls. “‘I like that name. I like that name.'”
While the name Operation Epic Fury captured his full attention, Trump has seemingly fallen asleep during other periods of his presidency.
He closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep for a moment during one of his endless cabinet meetings on December 2, 2025.
Later that month, Trump apparently took a short nap at the Oval Office’s Resolute Desk after signing an executive order reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance.
However, the constantly on-the-go president can’t be blamed for resting his eyes every now and then, considering he only sleeps four to five hours a night and is notorious for his non-stop work schedule.
Trump’s doctor during his first term, Ronny Jackson, told reporters in 2018 about Trump’s sleep habits: “He’s probably been like that his whole life. He’s just one of those people who just doesn’t need a lot of sleep.”
The president is also fueled by lots of caffeine throughout the day. Although not a coffee drinker, Trump reportedly drinks up to twelve cans of his beloved Diet Coke per day, while avoiding water for hydration at all costs.
He even has a red “Diet Coke” button on top of a wooden box on the Resolute Desk that he can press, and soon an employee will arrive with an ice-cold soda to wet his whistle.
