A Donald Trump adviser, Alex Bruesewitz, CEO of the political consulting firm X Strategies, collapsed during a speech at a gala on Sunday. Bruesewitz was reportedly speaking at the New York Young Republican Club event when he suddenly passed out, causing him to fall over the lectern and off the stage. The incident, which appeared to be a seizure, was captured by reporters including Hugo Lowell of The Guardian, who noted that Bruesewitz was being treated by emergency medical technicians (EMT) on-site.
Bruesewitz had been introducing Dan Scavino, a key ally of Trump, who was receiving an award at the gala when the unexpected medical emergency occurred. Ken Bensinger, a reporter for The New York Times, also reported on the incident, describing how Bruesewitz fell forward, knocking the lectern into the crowd as he collapsed.
While details about Bruesewitz’s condition remain unclear, the swift response from medical personnel on site has alleviated some concern. The incident has garnered attention, but it is unclear whether Bruesewitz’s health will be affected long-term.
