"Death is very bad when you're the speaker and you have a majority of two or three. But we had a death, and then we had another death. And we had some things. And it's but we're looking very strong. We had one man who was very ill. It looked like he wasn't gonna make it. I don't know. I won't mention his name. Should I? Do other people know his name? Do you want to mention it? He'll be proud."
"Congressman Neal Dunn of Florida had had some real health challenges, and it was very serious and had had a pretty grim diagnosis. And I mentioned it to the president. And I said, Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he's still coming to work. And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire."
"He would be dead by June...With a heart problem, by the way. This was a heart problem...So, long story short, the president called him to encourage him and thank him. And they had a conversation."
During a Kennedy Center board meeting at the White House on Monday, President Trump publicly disclosed Rep. Neal Dunn's terminal medical condition in front of cameras while speaking with House Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump repeatedly pressed Johnson to reveal the congressman's diagnosis, eventually stating that Dunn would be dead by June due to a heart problem. Johnson initially hesitated to disclose the private health information but ultimately confirmed the terminal diagnosis. MSNBC's Chris Hayes criticized Trump's behavior during his Thursday monologue, characterizing the incident as sociopathic and expressing disbelief at Trump's willingness to publicly reveal confidential medical information about a fellow Republican.
