Not too long before his historic meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, President Trump sent out the following tweet indicating that White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow had suffered a heart attack:
Our Great Larry Kudlow, who has been working so hard on trade and the economy, has just suffered a heart attack. He is now in Walter Reed Medical Center.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2018
Friends of Kudlow are now rushing to the hospital, trying to reach his wife, Judy. Top WH economic adviser's exact health status is unknown. WH has not provided another update, for the moment. Will update.

It didn’t take long for the trolls to emerge and attribute Kudlow’s heart attack to “karma.” Among them was the executive director of a Canadian polling firm:

You get back three times what you put into the Universe. You chose what you wanted out there. Now? Now you will reap the whirlwind of the vileness that you are sowing. I do so trust that all those near and dear to you discover just who you are as a human being. https://t.co/vOMe0lTkpV

You work for a “non-partisan” polling firm? What a joke. You’re literally applauding possible death because someone holds an opposing view to yours. Grow up. https://t.co/Soo8g7zWCF

What a classless, revolting, bitter thing to say moments after a man has a heart attack.
I'd tell this woman she should be ashamed. But clearly she knows no shame. https://t.co/zs6Iv8oqwY

Never forget that some people are just so tolerant and loving that they are joyous when a fellow American who works in our Admin is hit with a heart attack. ?
Sickening display of humanity dear. Keep it up, America is watching your crudeness and is appalled by it. https://t.co/m1qcPphZvZ

It sure seems that way, doesn’t it? Here’s a so-called social media guru doing her thing:
I really don’t wish anyone harm but KARMA is a bitch ? Larry Kudlow gets stabbed in the ? with a heart attack after his whirlwind media frenzy defending a lunatic – I’m sure he has second thoughts tonight! pic.twitter.com/cnjdYbsW1P

You should have stopped before ‘but’. Why even say this if you truly don’t find some bizarre satisfaction in the fact that Kudlow had a heart attack?
It’s interesting how people who hate Trump seem to act just like him. https://t.co/jBZgU0FUlM

The good news:
UPDATE: Judy Kudlow, Larry Kudlow's wife, tells @washingtonpost that her husband is "doing fine," adding that the doctors at Walter Reed National Medical Center "are fabulous" https://t.co/hCTgBrqson pic.twitter.com/C5hGJQbyM9

WH statement: “Earlier today… Kudlow experienced what his doctors say was a very mild heart attack. Larry is currently in good condition at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and his doctors expect he will make a full and speedy recovery… "
