President Trump Pauses Rally After Woman Suffers Medical Emergency


President Trump held a rally in Kentucky on Wednesday evening.

As usual, the rally was packed with supporters, many of whom waited for several hours to see the 47th President speak.

During one part of his rally, a woman suffered a medical emergency, which resulted in Trump pausing the rally.

Here’s how Trump responded:

Luckily for the lady, there was a doctor in the crowd.

And not just any doctor.

Dr. Oz, who serves as the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was in the crowd and assisted the woman.

Take a look:

The Daily Mail reported more on the incident:

Donald Trump put a halt to his rally in Kentucky Wednesday when a supporter collapsed behind him, sending Dr Mehmet Oz to the rescue.

Trump was speaking in Hebron to tout his performance on the economy, while also supporting an opponent of anti-Trump libertarian Thomas Massie in his Congressional primary.

The president announced, to great acclaim, that he was set to ‘go off the teleprompter’ and stray from his prepared remarks when the person was clearly in distress trying to stay up.

He then begins talking about California Governor and political rival Gavin Newsom as people try to attend to the fan’s health.

Trump then turns around to look over the situation from the podium.

The president then asked: ‘Do we have a doctor in the house, please?’

‘Take your time, please,’ he adds as someone appears headed up to the stage behind him.

Trump then notes that people have waited ‘hours and hours’ to hear the speech and that ‘we have all the time’ to continue as the fan is checked on.

As he notices the EMTs attend to the supporter, Trump notes to great cheers: ‘First responders are incredible.’

Eventually, the woman was carried to safety by those first responders, who were joined by Oz, Trump’s administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
