President Trump Reveals GOP Congressman Would Have Been “Dead By June” Without His Intervention

Wow.

President Trump just revealed that 73-year-old Republican Rep. Neal Dunn of Florida was facing a very grim, terminal diagnosis.

According to President Trump, he would have been “dead by June” due to a serious heart issue.

Doctors said there wasn’t anything they could do.

However, when President Trump heard about it, he immediately got his own White House doctors involved.

Within just hours, Rep. Dunn received emergency surgery at Walter Reed, and he is now doing much better!

What an incredible story.

Rep. Dunn is very fortunate!

Thanks to President Trump stepping in, he now has more time to enjoy life with his loved ones.

President Trump shared the story about Rep. Dunn’s health during a press conference at the Trump-Kennedy Center while discussing the upcoming retirement of multiple GOP members.

Rep. Neal Dunn is one of several Republican House members who will not be seeking re-election this year.

The Hill has more:

Trump talked about Dunn’s health during a press conference at the Kennedy Center while introducing Johnson, noting the Speaker’s tough job in managing such a small majority. Republicans can currently afford to lose no more than one member on any party-line vote, assuming all members are present and voting.

“We had it up to four,” Trump said of the GOP’s margin, “and then we had a death. And the death is very bad when you have a majority of two or three.”

“We had one man who was very ill, it looked like he wasn’t going to make it. I don’t know. I won’t mention his name,” Trump said, turning to Johnson: “Do you want to mention it? He’ll be proud. Go ahead, tell them the story.”

Johnson said that Dunn had some “real health challenges,” with a “pretty grim diagnosis.” After prodding from Trump, Johnson said, “I think it was a terminal diagnosis.”

“He would dead by June,” Trump said.

“OK, that’s wasn’t public,” Johnson demurred, as Trump added: “It was a heart problem.”

Johnson said that the diagnosis prompted Dunn, who had already announced he would not seek reelection, to consider retiring back to Florida. A midsession resignation, though, would further strain the slim House GOP majority, posing difficulties for Republicans in Washington.
