Frightening moment Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz collapses on stage during speech at New York Young Republican Club gala
Alex Bruesewitz, a political strategist who made Donald Trump “cool” again with his work on the 2024 campaign, collapsed on stage during a speech in New York on Sunday evening.
X Strategies CEO, 27-year-old Bruesewitz, was hired by the campaign in the summer to help with youth outreach and communications.
On Sunday evening, he spoke at the 112th annual New York Young Republicans gala alongside Trumpworld heavyweights Steve Bannon and Dan Scavino.
As he continued with the live-streamed remarks, something was visibly amiss as he began to slur his speech, at one point openly saying, “I’m forgetting my words.”
He tried to continue his speech and said, “But the mock impeachment…”
Those were the last words he could say as he slowly fell to the ground and fell across the stage.
The clip continues with people immediately running to Bruesewitz’s aid as the entire crowd gasps.
DailyMail.com has contacted both the Trump-Vance transition team and X Strategies for comment.

Bruesewitz rose to prominence in the Trump campaign when co-chair and now chief of staff Susie Wiles turned to him over the summer.
The Trump campaign wanted the community to meet the “real” Trump, the man who could sit at the dinner table and talk to his staff, crack jokes and even tease them as they talked about life and politics.
To do that, Bruesewitz started sending the message out to the podcast community.
Trump was willing to bring his star power to them.
“The idea was, we’re going to talk to the people who are dissatisfied with the mainstream media, who have opted out of the mainstream media, who now get their news and entertainment from these podcasters,” Bruesewitz told DailyMail.com.
Trump and political strategists had already found value in working with political podcasters like the Ben Shapiro Show and Dan Bongino, in addition to traditional hosts like Brian Kilmeade, Sean Hannity and Hugh Hewitt.
But Brueselitz wanted to go further.
He wanted to join the growing group of comedians and entertainers who are uncensored, funny and quickly building an audience of millions — including Trump’s 18-year-old son, Barron.

Bruesewitz worked with Barron on a list of interview ideas, explaining to Trump the new media landscape with millions of loyal followers.
The power of this new media community has already been recognized by savvy promoter and UFC CEO Dana White.
White and his team offered them VIP access to the fights to highlight their entertainment value.
Impressed podcasters found themselves ringside with some of the biggest celebrities in the world.
At the same time, Trump also routinely dropped out of UFC fights, impressed by the roar of approval he received every time he walked into the arena with Dana White.
He was regularly joined by Fox News media star turned podcaster Tucker Carlson and rocker Kid Rock.
On the sidelines, he shook hands and met some of these new influential figures, who happily took selfies with Trump and then shared them on social media.
