The Oval Office medical emergency today reminded me of how Trump told Howard Stern about how he reacted to an 80-year-old man falling off a stage at Mar-a-Lago. He was disgusted and looked away and forgot to ask later if the man was okay.

from GQ, September 28, 2017:

Once upon a time, Trump explained matter-of-factly (to Howard Stern), he was hosting a charity ball at Mar-a-Lago at which several members of the Marine Corps were in attendance, along with a host of rich people "eager to get their picture in the Palm Beach Post," as he put it. Lo and behold, at some point during the evening, an 80-year-old man—"very wealthy," Trump adds, but also, "a lot of people didn't like him"—fell off the stage and hit his head. Trump thought the man had died. "And you know what I did?"

I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him.

Ha-ha! An elderly person was maybe dying in front of me, and his wife was terrified and screaming, and I immediately wondered about the integrity of my flooring material! Isn't this HILARIOUS? I'm hilarious. The Marines in attendance, the president explains, swooped in quickly, forming a human stretcher to rush the victim out the room and get him badly-needed medical attention. Meanwhile, Trump adds with a delighted chuckle, he was signaling frantically for a cleaning crew.

As Stern and company yukked it up at this expertly-delivered punchline, Trump continued.

He’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red.
