Trump comment about Neal Dunn referenced past medical prognosis, not threat


JUST IN: President Trump appears to share private information after saying Republican Rep. Neal Dunn would be “dead by June.”

Back in February, it was revealed that Dunn had a “terminal diagnosis.”

Johnson: He had a pretty grim diagnosis…

Trump: What was the diagnosis?… He would be dead by June.

Johnson: Ok, that wasn’t public, but yeah…

Trump: He’s a great Congressman. Incredible.


When Donald Trump said that Neal Dunn “was told he’d be dead by June,” he was recounting Dunn’s previous medical prognosis, not predicting or wishing harm. Multiple news outlets reported that Trump was referencing Dunn’s past diagnosis during a broader discussion, and the comment has circulated online without the surrounding context. The full context shows the remark was about a past health scare rather than a statement about the future.
