Donald Trump Cuts

President Donald Trump had to abruptly end his speech and was quickly escorted away from the podium due to a sudden medical emergency during Dr. Mehmet Oz’s swearing-in as the new CMS administrator. As the ceremony concluded, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt swiftly asked reporters to exit, and the live broadcast was cut, raising concerns about what had happened.

FOX News later reported that Dr. Oz’s 11-year-old granddaughter, Philomena, collapsed during the event. Trump paused mid-speech to assess the situation, while Oz’s daughter shouted in panic, urging him to help. White House staff rushed to clear the room, telling the press to leave and preventing photos from being taken. A spokesperson later confirmed that a child fainted and reassured the public that she was doing fine. We wish her a speedy recovery.
