A week later, she was diagnosed with a serious blood clot in her head, which caused a blockage in a vein that drains blood from the brain.

A literal and figurative stumble for Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, who has revealed she is suffering from pneumonia, forcing her campaign to cancel a planned two day trip to California.
Nevertheless, Rep. Tammy Duckworth encouraged Clinton to release more medical records, which her campaign has already promised to do. It was supposed to be a day when both candidates and their supporters put politics aside and came together in remembrance of all those we lost in the 2001 tragedy.
“There’s no other undisclosed condition”. “She’s doing fine. She was even better last night before she went to sleep”. A video later posted on Twitter showed her staggering and eventually slumping forward before being held up by three people as she was helped into a van.
“I’ve know Hillary a long, long, long time”.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Meanwhile, Republican Donald Trump was restrained in his reaction. “But I hope she just gets well and gets back on the trail”.
Trump has released less information to the public about his health than Clinton has.
DONALD TRUMP: This last week, I took a physical. Frankly, the only people who are still as enthusiastic for him now as they were, say, six months ago, are the alt-right and the kind of people who genuinely don’t care if, as he once joked, he steps out onto 5th Avenue and starts shooting bystanders. I think they’re going to be good. Here’s what you need to know about what happened today on the campaign trail.
Clinton’s bout with pneumonia will likely add fuel to the existing speculation by Trump and his supporters that she is facing some hidden illness.
After a staff shake-up in August, Trump has largely abandoned the free-wheeling style of campaigning that energized his supporters but also led to an endless string of controversial comments about women, minorities and others. Now that Hillary Clinton is running for president, Woolsey will be an adviser for Trump on national security.
Trump has made incendiary comments repeatedly as a candidate, including questioning whether a US-born judge could be fair because of his Mexican heritage and criticizing the Muslim parents of a USA soldier who died in combat. These were among the countless Americans that Hillary Clinton called deplorable, irredeemable, and un-American.
