The GOP nominee is also expected to hammer Clinton over the “deplorables” line when he speaks in Baltimore on Monday afternoon, a campaign official said.

Clinton has been prescribed antibiotics and rest.
They later revealed she has pneumonia. “The pneumonia is the extent of it”, Fallon said, in an interview with MSNBC.
The 68-year-old Clinton spent 90 minutes Sunday at a ceremony in New York City marking the 15th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, leaving before it ended.
But the sight of Clinton unsteady on her feet was seized on by Donald Trump’s supporters as fresh evidence that she is not telling the whole truth about her health. The campaign is reviewing whether to reschedule fundraising events in California on Monday and Tuesday. “In the evening, she will phone in briefly to the event in San Francisco, which is proceeding as scheduled in her absence”.
No longer can Trump’s questions about Clinton’s physical stamina be summarily dismissed.
During a fundraiser, Clinton said: “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables”. She poked fun at the idea during an appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in August, jokingly opening a pickle jar as proof of her vigor.
He later told CNBC that Mrs Clinton’s stumble and illness was “quite sad”. “For many of these folks, much of this day to day is just noise”, Schale said. Trump said in a statement.
In 2008, Republican nominee John McCain made public more than a thousand pages of his medical history to show he was cancer-free and fit to serve as president at age 71. Trump himself has released minimal information about his health.
However, Mr. Trump said that the health has now become a presidential issue.
There are also fake medical records circulating on conservative Internet websites and Fox News’ Sean Hannity recently played footage of Clinton vigorously shaking her head to avoid answering a question from her press corps that he said was “seizure-esque”. Now her health is taking center stage in the race for president.
“I think it’s the single biggest mistake of the political season”, Trump said Monday on “Fox & Friends”.
At 69, Ronald Reagan was the oldest person to be elected president when he won in 1980. Some wish he would drop to the floor and not get up but that is a bitter wish to use on anyone, even a dehumanized candidate like Donald Trump.
“No, I don’t think they’ll replace her”, Trump said. “We shouldn’t be judging people based on their age, but based on their ideas”. Later in the day, Clinton was examined at her home in Chappaqua, New York, and found to be recovering.
At the end of August, two weeks before Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia, a debilitating bug was making the rounds among staff at her headquarters and campaign aides who travel with Clinton, a source tells PEOPLE. She was then taken to her daughter Chelsea’s apartment.
Have a question about the candidates, the campaign, the process, the election itself? She said she suffers from seasonal allergies and had increased her dosage of antihistamines. On Friday, during follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia.
Trump’s campaign says it will spend around $2 million to run the ad this week in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida.
Look for Trump to release his medical records on The Dr. Oz Show Thursday.

Trump’s move is likely to increase pressure on Clinton to release more information about her health.
