This New York Times headline is 100% accurate: Trump Airs a House Republican’s Terminal Diagnosis, Claiming to Have Reversed It

For weeks on Capitol Hill, there had been quiet murmurs about the health of an ailing veteran House Republican, Representative Neal Dunn of Florida, and whether he would be able to serve out the duration of his term because of what was rumored to be a grave diagnosis.

On Monday, at a news conference called to discuss the Kennedy Center, President Trump aired the quiet part out loud, claiming credit for having saved Mr. Dunn’s life in an unusual and at times uncomfortable exchange that publicly laid out the congressman’s formerly private prognosis in new detail.

“So, long story short,” Mr. Johnson said, pushing ahead, Mr. Trump had been able to connect Mr. Dunn, 73, to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Since then, Mr. Dunn “has a new lease on life” and “acts like he’s 30 years younger.”

Mr. Trump seemed pleased by the turnaround, adding later that he had been horrified to learn of Mr. Dunn’s initial diagnosis.

“Number one, it was bad because I liked him,” Mr. Trump said. “Number two, it was bad because I needed his vote.”

Another day, another love song for himself. But that article doesn’t capture the complete bizarreness. For that we turn to Mediaite which was working off a recording of a Fox News broadcast, not stuck in a room with those weirdos.

And then I realized I have doctors in the White House. White House doctors are incredible. And they’ve helped me with other people. They’re helping me with people right now”

I have no idea and it is likely that he doesn’t either.

People that are very sick are like they’re miracle workers. And I said, “I have to call them.” And I called the two doctors. They’re both great. And they immediately went over to see the congressman. And he was on the operating table like two hours later. And it was a long operation.

If they went from request to check on someone they’ve never met to surgery in two hours he wasn’t going to make it to June, as Orangefinger claimed.

They gave him more stents and more everything that you could have. I think he’s got everything that he could possibly have.

This is a normal way to talk. If the speaker is a 1st grader who has forgotten their lines for the school play. Or a inveterate liar whose gears are stripped.

Then he forgets who or what he is talking about and reveals that the White House medical team is a loose-lipped lot.

And they called up, they said, “Sir, I think you’ll be fine.” I said, “You got to be kidding.” He said, “I think you will be fine,” and Mike was telling me the story that the other day he came into a meeting for the first time in a long while.

There’s no way he accidentally revealed medical treatments he’s received. Is there?
