President Donald Trump delivered opening remarks at a board meeting for the Kennedy Center on Monday where, after claiming he predicted 9/11 and rambling about paint, he also let slip that Florida Rep. Neal Dunn (R) would be “dead by June” if Trump hadn’t asked White House doctors to step in.
The apparently terminal diagnosis Dunn received was due to a heart problem, Trump said, before turning the mic over to a suddenly sheepish House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to elaborate.
“OK,” a stunned Johnson replied. “That wasn’t public, but … OK. It was grim.”
“With a heart problem!” Trump gleefully interjected. “This was a heart problem.”
Rep. Dunn disclosed in January that he’d decided not to run for reelection, saying at the time that he’d decided to “spend more precious time with [his] family and beloved grandchildren.”
