House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) seemed stunned by the president’s candor, remarking: “OK, that wasn’t public, but, yeah, OK, it was grim.”

“It was a long operation. They gave him more stents and more everything,” Trump said, adding that Dunn has had “a new lease on life. He has more energy than a man half his age.”
