An adviser to President-elect Trump’s campaign, Alex Bruesewitz, fainted and collapsed while speaking on stage during a New York Young Republican Club gala Sunday night.

Bruesewitz, 27, was introducing incoming White House senior aide Dan Scavino at a Manhattan venue when he began stumbling over his words and passed out, video on social media shows.

Several people quickly rushed to help him after his collapse. It was not immediately clear what caused him to pass out.

“I was talking to our friend Alex Bruesewitz and you know what he said to me? He’s like, ‘Did I at least look cool?'” I said Alex, you used gravity like I’ve never seen anyone use gravity before in their lives,” Kassam said. “But he’s getting back there, so give him a big cheer so he can hear you.”

Trump also said after the breakdown that he believes Bruesewitz will be fine, according to New York Post.

“I know Alex will be fine because he’s a tough son of a gun,” Trump said. “There’s no doubt about that. So I want to say hello to Alex, because he’s a very special guy.”
