Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has been vocal about Clinton’s health during rallies and on Twitter, was silent Sunday.

“I was deeply shocked and alarmed to hear my opponent attack, slander, smear and demean these wonderful, incredible people who are supporting our campaign”, the Republican nominee said. “See you on the [campaign] trail soon”, Clinton tweeted. “She got dehydrated, that’s it”, not mentioning the pneumonia diagnosis that her campaign later revealed.
US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton waves to the press as she leaves her daughter’s apartment building in NY after resting on Sunday. And the Clinton campaign has since admitted that it could have handled the health scare better and said it would offer more details about her health soon.
Video captured of the Democratic nominee shows her staggering and slumping forward as she was helped into a van leaving the Sunday ceremony in Manhattan. She’s expected to appear at the fundraiser by teleconference.
Clinton said she felt dizzy and lost her balance Sunday, but did not lose consciousness, and is now “feeling so much better”.
Clinton officials canceled campaign appearances Monday and Tuesday in California. Instead, she continued her schedule with two publicly known fundraisers, two media interviews, a national security meeting and a news conference.
Clinton, who has said she is the candidate to unify a divided country, made the “deplorables” comment at a fundraiser Friday night in NY.
“Well, if it is then it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors”, Clinton replied.
The Republican candidate Donald Trump, who is aged 70, has made an issue of Mrs Clinton’s health in recent times. “And obviously that didn’t work out so well”, she said. “The pneumonia is the extent of it”, Fallon said, in an interview with MSNBC.
But suddenly Clinton left, in a hurry.
Clinton, 68, has twice been diagnosed with blood clots in her legs. They are two of the oldest candidates to try to win the White House.
Some political analysts say both should release more information about their medical history. He wished her well and did not repeat questions he has previously raised about whether the former secretary of state has the strength and stamina to be president.
Some Trump supporters have suggested that she is seriously ill from the effects of a concussion she suffered in a fall in 2012.

What irked many of Clinton’s supporters was not that she had pneumonia, or what message that might send, but that she went to such great lengths to disguise something so commonplace. His doctor said Trump “has had no significant medical problems” and would “be the healthiest individual ever elected”.
