Moments after he arrived at the summit site for his historic meeting, President Trump sent a tweet announcing that chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow has suffered a heart attack.

"Our Great Larry Kudlow, who has been working so hard on trade and the economy, has just suffered a heart attack. He is now in Walter Reed Medical Center," Trump tweeted.

Kudlow was not traveling with the President in Singapore, but he had just returned to the US from the G7 summit in Canada, where trade tensions dominated the atmosphere.

Here's Trump's tweet:

1. So close.

[Kittycow]

36. ... snicker....

[Solly Mack]

46. ;)

[cstanleytech]

44. You do realize we would still be screwed as Pence would then become President if something happened

to Donald.

[Solly Mack]

45. Yes, I know the line of succession...all the way down.

Yes, I'm aware of what a disaster Pence already is and would be.

I also know that Trump isn't an actual sphincter but that doesn't stop me from calling him an asshole.

Words are funny that way.

[question everything]

50. I'd like to think that Pence is not a bully. That he will not go after everyone

mocking and cursing.

That he will not turn on our allies. After all, he was a governor and knows the importance of trade. Was a member of congress and has - one hopes - some respect to the institutions.

Either way, the deplorables will not accept it. He is too refined. They want the vulgarity of Trump.

[Loki Liesmith]

2. He's back on blow

[hlthe2b]

3. All who lie for Trump suffer....

I hope he recovers both bodily and any integrity he ever had.

[CentralMass]

25. One out of two ain't bad.

[ginnyinWI]

4. It their only source is Trump,

wait until it is verified.

[Cracklin Charlie]

5. Something seemed a bit off with him on the weekend shows.

Just seeing this news.

[Danmel]

6. Maybe he can scope out hell for Justin Trudeau

[George II]

10. One of my first thoughts....checking out that "special place"

[Dopers_Greed]

7. It probably wasn't a nerve agent, since he's doing Putin's bidding.

Maybe the deep state did it?

[Cold War Spook]

53. I wish they would go back to Ricin.

Injected, it only kills that one person.

[oasis]

8. Kudlow was going at it pretty hard yesterday. I'm not wishing

any ill on anyone, but constantly defending the indefensible can take a mental and physical toll on a person.

[a kennedy]

14. Exactly.......

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Of all of them

he's perhaps the thinnest and has less risk than the others

Oh well, one never knows, hope he recovers so he doesn't miss the collapse of the regime

[bitterross]

11. Karma is a bastard ain't it.

No, I don't feel like being the bigger person anymore. If only every lying Trump admin person could get as swift a payback we'd be better off.

[Va Lefty]

43. This post! Tired of taking the high road. look were it's got us!

[workinclasszero]

12. Fake news, republicans don't have hearts

I guess the ice cube in his chest couldn’t take all the lies and attacks on our closest allies.

Get well soon asshole so you can oppress more poor people and shit all over our former allies I guess.

Why oh why couldn’t it have been......

[Mrs. Overall]

13. I don't wish illness on anyone--

hope he is ok.

[DRoseDARs]

19. Illness can be humbling, can change attitudes...

Death is what we ought to avoid wishing upon people. Corpses can't grow from mistakes or be punished for crimes.

[elleng]

20. Basically agreed and

hope it keeps him away from his 'office.'

[Demsrule86]

55. I truly don't give a damn. He makes excuses for a monstrous regime and a would be fascist.

[DRoseDARs]

15. Get well soon, Mr. Kudlow.

Your place in Hell isn't ready yet, and they need more time to fill your section of the Lake of Fire.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

16. Now Mike Pence will want to have one too. Also, why Walter Reed? Is Kudlow active or retired

military? What's wrong with George Washington University Hospital? It's only five blocks from the White House. He could walk there.

[DRoseDARs]

21. Did he ask mother first? nt

[kellytore]

17. All those years of snorting cocaine

has finally caught up with this POS.

[Kajun Gal]

18. Karma IS a bitch!

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Yes, he is a nasty one for sure

Is all the stress in life worth it?

So much winning

[Achilleaze]

22. Omens (R)

just like the fire in Trump Tower that killed a man because Trump was too cheap to invest in basic fire protection systems.

Ominous.

[DeminPennswoods]

23. Rick Wilson's theorem is that

everything Trump touches dies.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. Lucifer

the hair is an orange flame

[tblue37]

26. He has had to go against his own beliefs (he is a free trader, not a protectionist)

to please his boss. I imagine that has been stressful. I also think it must be stressful to know you are ruining your own reputation by publicly lying in circumstances where you know everyone but a narrow political base knows you are lying and feels contempt for your willingness to compromise your own principles and to suck up to a malevolent buffoon like Trump.

John Kelly says he is miserable and the Trump WH is a horrible working environment. I bet a lot of Trump's people suffer from high levels of stress.

[JI7]

29. Not all. I think some like Mike pence and sarah Huckabee sanders

Have no problem spewing whatever bs they do.

[tblue37]

32. A lot of people who press over their own righteousness and religiosity truly believe

that is is acceptable and even appropriate to deceive unbelievers in the pursuit of some goal the "righteous" one considers important.

[JI7]

28. Maybe he has some conscience unlike the others who have no trouble

With the bs they spew in defense of the scum.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

34. Have you ever seen kudlow and cramer?

Big fricken circus. Romper room to get novices to blow their nut on engaging the stock market. (hear and see my sleeves rolled up and honking a clown horn.)
I doubt there's a conscience anywhere in there.

[JI7]

35. Even then it could be his belief in free markets and going agsinst it

Is causing him stress and other trouble.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

39. Or just taking a sympathy dive to the mat.

Bc they know at the end of the day "Liberals" will feel bad for them and they can slither off and not have to acknowledge what they've done. tariffs? He's a tv goon, and it shows. Liberals are sympathetic, but, they aren't stupid by and large.
Everyones had chest pains since they stole the election. No shits given about anyone proud to be gop and sympathize w russia'r. Sorry.

[CentralMass]

30. Lying is bad for your health.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

31. I have a heart attack

every time I see the face or hear the voice of dt. Angina is the national pastime now. Why should Kudlow be spared? And why should any American care that a Russian sympathizer is sick? I don't. dt is shaving years off all our lives. Where's the sympathy from the trump family? Basta w the tweets dt. Have a nice bullshit session w kim. (capitalization absent on purpose) I'm not usually so blunt, but, drop dead dt. You know damn well you wish it on everyone who voted for the real president HRC. No shits given about kudlow, or you.

[SergeStorms]

33. "Our "great" Larry Kudlow".....

"Great" is your opinion, Donnie Dip Shit. Stick to the facts, not personal opinion, asshole.

[hatrack]

37. Yeah, cocaine'll do that ...

Just ask John Entwistle.

[TeamPooka]

38. no get well soon, no prayers, no please pray for him. Just tone deaf Breaking News with no empathy

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

40. Thoughts and prayers...

for America and the folks who voted for the President...HRC.

[smirkymonkey]

47. Just what I was thinking. Not one hint of concern for the man who (wrongly) went to bat for him.

No thoughts or prayers for him or his family. Just had to be the first one to get the gossip out. Can't let any one else eclipse his famous meeting with Kim. How dare Kudlow try to steal his thunder!

[TeamPooka]

48. a total dick move

[jimlup]

41. Hope he is OK

But I have to say I don't care for his politics.

[truthisfreedom]

42. Even a clown would say get well soon. Zero empathy.

Obviously it’s all about winners and losers, and this poor guy is a loser to 45.

[keithbvadu2]

49. Send him to ICE for medical care

[stonecutter357]

51. thoughts and prayers !

[muriel_volestrangler]

52. I LOLed. I really did.

It's not often that I enjoy someone else being ill, but when he's spent a weekend trying to get people to hate someone else, and has worked himself into such a state that he's had a heart attack, it really is funny.

Retire, Kudlow. Go and find a quiet place to rest and start liking people instead. You are a failure as a national figure.

[Vinca]

54. Guess it was "God's will." LOL.

[malthaussen]

56. Wait a minute -- one of Mr Trump's advisers has a heart?

That IS news.
