Dunn is an MD and surgeon. I find it a little hard to believe he didn't have access to knowledge about this medical miracle and somehow Trump did.

He eggs Mike Johnson on like a kid who can't wait to share this secret that he knows before revealing that one of his congressmen has a terminal heart condition. Then he pats Johnson on the back with a huge smile as Johnson is talking, it's worth pointing out that Trump rarely smiles. He's acting like a relative who can't wait to share that someone is having a baby, except the news is that someone is about to die. Unreal.

“I did it for him first and the vote second,” the president said, adding: “But it was a close second.” He really doesn't have a filter does he?

Huh. Even for him, this is unusually unhinged.
