After months of driving the narrative that Hillary Clinton is a weak candidate who lacks the strength and stamina to occupy the Oval Office, Donald Trump on Monday let his foot off the gas pedal — at least on the issue of Clinton’s health. Trump, a candidate who has spent much of his campaign frothing up conspiracy theories about Clinton’s well-being, hit the airwaves on Monday morning after Clinton’s campaign revealed on Sunday that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia, following footage that showed her knees buckling as she was helped into a van. While Trump did offer some nefarious whispers — “something’s going on” — he mostly stayed on message, wishing Clinton a speedy recovery and strategically hammering her for her “basket of deplorables” gaffe. “I hope she gets well soon. I don’t know what’s going on,” Trump said Monday during a phone interview with “Fox & Friends.” “I’m, like you, I just — I see what I see. The coughing fit was a week ago, so I assume that was pneumonia also. I mean, I would think it would have been. So something’s going on, but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and we’ll be seeing her at the debate.” Read more http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/trump-clinton-228014
