He had previously tweeted out that he was going to be “in the hospital a few days.” He said that his “old pulmonary embolism thing has been acting up a bit making me short of breath on the show. Gonna run some tests, change meds. Get back to 100%.”

Hey guys. I’ll be in the hospital a few days. My old pulmonary embolism thing has been acting up a bit making me short of breath on the show. Gonna run some tests, change meds. Get back to 100%. I’m fine. Not in any distress. I just kind of get these. Prayers appreciated.

In another tweet, he reflected on “The last 5 years” saying that they “have been really special for me” and he “loves” his “Trump family.” He thanked his supporters by saying “you guys are saving America. I didn’t always get everything right but I tried my best to keep everyone encouraged and optimistic.” He hopes “this will be ok, but if it isn’t, I didn’t regret a minute of it.”

In 2016, the MIT Media Lab listed him as the 26th-most influential Twitter account of this election cycle (the highest-ranked non-politician or journalist), between Lindsey Graham and Megyn Kelly.

After Trump won, he had a grassroots list of things that matter. “Rallies matter. Yard signs matter. Social media matters. Flash polls matter. Enthusiasm matters. We matter.”

Rallies matter.
Yard signs matter.
Social media matters.
Flash polls matter.
Enthusiasm matters.

We matter.

He was a part of Trump’s social media summit last year, tweeting out that the “Twitter must be mad” he was attending because their “#shadowban algos are set to TURBO this morning” on his feed.

Twitter must be concerned that I am attending the White House Social Media Summit in DC tomorrow. Their #shadowban algos are set to TURBO this morning on my feed. 🙂
