Anyone who believes Hillary Clinton is in good health is as much a fool as anyone who believes all the conspiracies.

Minister Rigel Dawson, of North Central Church of Christ in Flint, said he wasn’t there to endorse any candidate, “but I invite him to have a dialogue with the residents and community leaders”.
Trump, ever the showman, appeared on “The Dr. Oz Show” in what was billed by the campaign as a discussion about his general well-being and his family’s medical history. Even though Trump said his border control policies are focused on immigrants in the USA illegally, that “doesn’t make it any better”.
Surprise – Donald Trump made television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz privy to a portion of his medical records Wednesday after all.
It’s now being reported that at the taping, Trump handed Oz a one-page summary of his exam, prepared by the raffish Dr. Bornstein.
Trump said: “Everyone plays their games, it doesn’t bother me”. But if you’re waiting for anything like a complete medical history on Trump, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
Trump said he “noticed she was so nervous when she introduced me”. That’s what will probably happen here too.
A day after her campaign announced that she’d be giving a speech linking Trump to the so-called “alt-right movement” – a modern evolution of white supremacy – Trump escalated his attacks, labelling Clinton as “a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future”.
Trump has refused to release his tax returns, breaking a tradition that dates to Richard Nixon. “I’m not so sure even if anyone understands that”, he said. Pressed on exactly when that might be, he said, “At the appropriate time, you’ll be very satisfied”.

Much of that comes from deals with global financiers and developers, many of whom have been tied to controversial and even illegal activities.
Trump’s role as chief promoter of the conspiracy theory about the nation’s first black president has left him with nearly no support among African-Americans and has turned off moderates who bristle at its racist undertones.
It’s actually Trump who’s the newcomer to policy specifics. He has previously represented companies owned by Trump.
“It sums up what she thinks of American voters: that we’re dumb and stupid and can’t make decisions for ourselves”, said Charles House, 78, of Ankeny, Iowa.
So what should we do?
Trump, on stage, rejected any notion of racism, saying people who want secure borders “are not racists”, people who warn of “radical Islamic terrorism are not Islamophobes” and people who support police “are not prejudiced”.

“Bringing Islam into the definition of our enemy actually serves the objective of the radical jihadists”, Mrs. Clinton said, in a remark that was totally unsubstantiated by anecdotal or clinical evidence. The campaigns of both Mr Trump and Mrs Clinton, 68, have said that their candidates would be releasing detailed medical records in the coming days.

The Republican nominee’s campaign said Trump is planning to tour a water plant and discuss the crisis. “Hillary Clinton has had Flint’s back every step of the way”, Bieber said, adding that if Trump really cared he should write a personal check for $10 million for the families of the city.
