Alex Bruesewitz, a prominent Trump campaign adviser, startled attendees at the New York Young Republican Club gala on Sunday night when he collapsed while delivering a speech.
The event, held at the prestigious Cipriani Wall Street venue in Manhattan, was attended by hundreds, including key figures in conservative politics.
Bruesewitz, who was introducing incoming White House senior aide Dan Scavino, appeared poised and energetic as he praised the New York Young Republican Club for its support of Donald Trump.
However, during his remarks, he began slurring his words and suddenly fainted, toppling over the lectern in a dramatic moment caught on video.
The unsettling incident sparked immediate concern among the attendees. Several rushed to Bruesewitz’s side, helping him offstage while the audience watched in silence, unsure of his condition.
Raheem Kassam, the evening’s master of ceremonies and a former aide to British conservative politician Nigel Farage, addressed the crowd shortly afterward to provide an update. Kassam reassured everyone that Bruesewitz was recovering backstage and even maintained his sense of humor.

“I talked to our friend Alex Bruesewitz, and you know what he said to me? He goes, ‘Did I at least look cool?’” Kassam told the audience, earning some laughter.
“I said, ‘Alex, you used gravity like I’ve seen nobody use gravity before in their lives.’ But he’s recuperating back there, so give him a big cheer so he’ll hear you.”
The incident garnered attention beyond the event itself. Former President Donald Trump called in after Bruesewitz’s collapse, sending well wishes to his loyal adviser.
“I know that Alex is going to be fine because he’s a tough son of a gun,” Trump said over the phone. “There’s no doubt about that. So I want to say hello to Alex because he’s a very special guy.”
Bruesewitz, the CEO of X Strategies LLC, is well-known in political circles for his fierce advocacy of the “America First” agenda and his efforts to support candidates aligned with the MAGA movement.
According to the X Strategies website, he has been instrumental in replacing Republicans who oppose Trump’s policies with those who uphold conservative values.

Footage from the beginning of Bruesewitz’s speech showed no signs of distress.
He appeared confident as he commended the New York Young Republican Club for their steadfast support of Trump, even referring to the former president as both the 45th and future 47th president.

The gala, a black-tie affair, featured a lineup of prominent speakers and conservative leaders.
Alongside Scavino, other speakers included former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, senior Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski, and Farage.
The event underscored the continuing influence of Trump’s movement within Republican circles and the dedication of its supporters.
While the cause of Bruesewitz’s collapse has not been officially disclosed, his quick recovery backstage brought relief to the audience. The Post has reached out to X Strategies LLC for comment on his condition.
