Conservative radio host Dan Bongino said that President Trump called him to offer support moments before he walked into surgery to remove a tumor from his neck.
“The president called before I went into surgery,” Bongino told his radio audience on Thursday. “I’m not kidding. That’s the kind of guy he is.”

“He’s just a wonderful guy,” Bongino continued. “And it’s a shame that gets lost in all the media hysteria about him. Just an amazing guy.”
Bongino expressed gratitude the president reached out even though he was sick himself and stricken with the coronavirus.
“He’s sick himself, or was, and he’s concerned about me,” Bongino said. “He didn’t even rush me off the phone. Just an amazing guy.”
Earlier this week, Bongino updated his fans about his recent medical scare involving a tumor in his neck that he believes is lymphoma.
“Thank you all for your kind words & well wishes,” Bongino tweeted. “I’m out of surgery & I feel good. They removed the entire tumor from my neck. The bad news is, it looks like lymphoma. The good news is, there are treatments options. Either way, it’ll be okay. Thank you all for your support.”

Bongino immediately received an outpouring of support from colleagues at Fox News, pundits, politicians, various celebrities, and his millions of followers on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms.
