Trump reveals Neal Dunn had terminal diagnosis before treatment: ‘Would be dead by June’
Who benefits from this decision?
President Donald Trump revealed Monday that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) had been diagnosed with a terminal heart disease, but has since been treated and has a renewed outlook on life.
Trump’s comments came at a convening of the Trump-Kennedy Center Board at the White House. Speaker Mike Johnson was seated directly to the president’s right and noted that Dunn’s exact diagnosis had not previously been made public.
As Trump and Johnson were lauding Dunn for staying in his position despite the difficult diagnosis, which had thus far not been public, Trump pressed Johnson, and the speaker said, “I think it was a terminal diagnosis.”
“He would be dead by June,” Trump said in response.
“OK, that wasn’t public but yeah, OK,” Johnson said. “It was grim, that’s what I was going to say.”
Dunn announced earlier this year that he plans to retire at the end of his term. Trump said he was impressed by the Florida congressman for staying in the job.
“Most of them are going to say, ‘Mike I’m retiring immediately.’ That’s the end,” the president said. “He didn’t do that. It really is really impressive.”
