Alex Bruesewitz, a 27-year-old advisor in President-elect Donald Trump’s orbit, gave quite the dramatic flair to a New York Young Republican Club event this past Sunday when he decided to take a little unscheduled nap—right on stage. Entering the weekend as a promising voice for the future of conservatism, he left in a way that no one expected, certainly not while introducing fellow Trump aide Dan Scavino. Did he introduce Scavino or call him “Scavengo”? That detail is somewhat lost amid the excitement of seeing Bruesewitz gently orchestrate his descent towards the floor.
Witnesses shared that Bruesewitz appeared to be fumbling with his words before looking as if he was auditioning for an improvised episode of “America’s Got Talent” with his enthusiastic tribute to gravity. The audience gasped collectively as he defeated that podium in a dramatic fall that would have made many a soap opera star proud. Some heroic soul recorded the entire encounter for posterity—before they could stop laughing long enough to check if he was alright.

The master of ceremonies, Raheem Kassam, known for his connections to British politics and his succor for the right-leaning folks, later reassured everyone that Bruesewitz was recovering well. He even chuckled about giving gravity a run for its money. But all eyes on the event still focused on Bruesewitz as attendees held their collective breath, hoping their buddy would be back to discussing the downfall of the Left in no time.
A plethora of tweets emerged with praises and prayers for the young conservative. Jeff Clark, a compatriot both sharing a love for conservative values and a surprising closeness in age to Bruesewitz, took to social media asking for prayers. What a heartwarming sign of community, right? The message was clear: even Republicans know how to rally together through thick and thin—especially when someone falls spectacularly while speaking.
Meanwhile, Trump made a timely cameo via phone to dispel any lingering worries. He conveyed his utmost confidence that Bruesewitz would be back on his feet soon. After all, if there’s something that strengthens a man, it’s the sheer willpower that comes with being associated with Trump. Recognizing the comedic timing of the situation, Trump noted that Bruesewitz is “a tough son of a gun” and expressed his special connection to Alex. It’s safe to say that this incident alone guarantees Bruesewitz a story he’ll tell for life—the day he literally made his point by falling flat on it.
