Addressing the crowd, he admitted he was starting to forget his words.
Bruesewitz then tried to carry on with his speech and uttered the words “sham impeachment” before he fainted.
In the video, guests were heard gasping after the strategist collapsed.
Trump later called into the event and wished Bruesewitz well.
“I know that Alex is going to be fine because he’s a tough son of a gun,” he said.
“There’s no doubt about that. So I want to say hello to Alex, because he’s a very special guy.”
Conservative influencers have said they’ve spoken to Bruesewitz following the incident.
Jack Posobiec said Bruesewitz was checked out by medics and said all levels were normal.
“Only thing he asked me was, “Did it look cool?” Posobiec posted on X.
“He’ll be just fine.”
Bruesewitz, the CEO of the political think tank X Strategies, is often credited as one of the masterminds behind making Trump appealable to younger voters.
He worked with Trump’s son, Barron, on how the tycoon could boost his popularity.
In the run-up to the election, Trump sat down with influencers such as Adin Ross and Joe Rogan.
Rogan endorsed Trump on the eve of the presidential election.
