Hillary Clinton says feeling much better, didn’t think it was big deal
Clinton had a cough last week, and chalked it up to allergies – joking at an event that she was allergic to Trump. Count as some progress that both have now agreed to publicly release their health records.
The campaign initially said Clinton was dehydrated before it issued the doctor’s full statement later in the day.
She said she told others at Sunday’s memorial, including Sen.
He finished by saying that the public knows that Clinton is healthy. Her health woes forced Clinton to scrap her California fund-raising trip Monday and Tuesday and a scheduled campaign event Wednesday in Nevada. That was a mistake, Fallon said.
“While Hillary Clinton lives a sequestered life behind gates and walls and guards, she mocks and demeans hard-working Americans who only want their own families to enjoy a fraction of the security enjoyed by our politicians”, Mr. Trump said at the annual conference of the National Guard Association of the United States.
“In retrospect, we could have handled it better”, Fallon said. “Deplorable is not one of them, I assure you.Hillary needs to take a nap”.
The Clinton campaign has accused opponents of pushing a “deranged conspiracy” about her health.
“Hillary Clinton is an insider, supported by powerful insiders, attacking Americans who have no political power”, Trump said in the Monday speech.
The health problem was the latest blow for the Democratic presidential nominee at a time when Republican rival Donald Trump has erased most of her lead in national opinion polls and is competitive again in many battleground states where the November 8 election is likely to be decided. Trump, 70, has been suggesting for weeks that Clinton lacks the energy needed to be president. While her top campaign aides conceded they were too slow in providing the public with information about Clinton’s condition, it was unclear how quickly they themselves had been informed by the candidate.
“I think really only twice that I can recall”, Clinton said. “I don’t know what’s going on”, Trump said, taking a relatively cautious approach to discussing Clinton’s health. “We know a lot about Hillary Clinton”.
Privately, some Republicans say Trump would likely be losing more convincingly to another Democratic nominee.
In the same interview, Clinton hit back at criticism over her lack of transparency by blasting her Republican opponent for declining to release his tax returns – a long standard move during USA presidential campaigns. On Fox, he said that being elected to the White House means: “You’re the president of all the people”.
On Sunday, Clinton left the 9/11 memorial an hour earlier than planned.
But if she returns to her normal campaign schedule without incident after a few days of recuperation, she will go a long way towards putting health concerns to bed. Aides provided no information about why she left or her whereabouts for almost two hours. “I’m aware of it and usually can avoid it”, she said. Then came her wobbly exit from Sunday’s 9/11 ceremony in NY.
But she has instead been resting at home in Chappaqua, New York.
She said she didn’t immediately disclose that she’s been diagnosed with pneumonia because she “just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal”‘. Clinton should not get extra scrutiny because of her sex, but she should not expect less, either.
