American University professor Jennifer Lawless said Clinton would be under pressure in coming days to show her “vitality and viability”.
It was also Trump’s first speech since his opponent, former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton called his supporters a “deplorables”.
Trump was also at the memorial in NY on Sunday, and the campaign did not even coordinate with his press pool so that they could attend. Former Obama strategist David Axelrod says her campaign “has an unhealthy penchant for privacy”.
She “continues to feel better, but intends to remain at home today, following her doctor’s recommendation to rest”, her spokesman said. “I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely“, she said on Sunday.
“It’s a lovely day in New York”, Clinton yelled to reporters across the street. “At this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated”.
The doctor noted that Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday after examining her over “a prolonged cough” she had that was related to allergies. I regret saying “half”-that was wrong”, she said”.
Pneumonia, an inflammatory condition of the lung, causes people to cough and have difficulty breathing.
People around the world are concerned for Clinton’s health and have every sympathy for the current presidential frontrunner.
Clinton had to depart early from a 9/11 commemoration ceremony on Sunday due to a medical emergency. Following the diagnosis, Clinton held a packed schedule Friday which included a national security roundtable with a few questions from the press, two fundraisers, and two taped interviews.
“It’s a handsome day in NY”, she said before disappearing back into the black van that waited for her, ignoring questions from journalists about what had just happened.
With the election lurking around the corner, I hope we get to see some sanity and political maturity exhibited in the campaigning and during the much-anticipated debates coming up soon.
“Hopefully they’re going to be good”.
“I see what I see”. “The pneumonia is the extent of it”. I have proved that I’m not averse to apologizing for things that I think were wrong.
On Monday, Trump said he thought the moderators for the upcoming presidential debates – NBC’s Lester Holt, ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Fox News’ Chris Wallace – would try to be tough on him after Lauer was accused of lobbing softballs at Trump while going hard after Clinton for her private email server.

“If we’re going to talk about transparency and disclosure, Donald Trump has not released a single piece of serious information about his health”, he said. Fox reported that the reality TV star planned to release those details during an appearance on The Dr Oz Show on Thursday.
