Trump and his team have wished Clinton a rapid recovery.
“I’ll say again, that Donald Trump supporters are not a basket of anything”.
‘It’s just the kind of thing that if it happens to you and you’re a busy, active person, you keep moving forward’. “You can’t lead this nation if you have such a low opinion of its citizens”.
De Blasio said questions about Clinton’s health are nonsense, especially since she released a report from her doctor.

Clinton’s campaign revealed her pneumonia diagnosis only after she abruptly left a ceremony on Sunday marking the September 11, 2001 attacks.

“I think most people, they’re diagnosed a few days earlier with pneumonia, would have said: “Ok, I’m going to cut back my schedule, take a few days off”, and that’s just not Hillary Clinton and I admire that about her”.
Trump and his allies pounced on Clinton’s “deplorables” remark, but remained mostly disciplined and silent on Clinton’s health. “But we don’t know because he hasn’t disclosed”. “Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hard working people like you”, concludes the ad.
Still, the Clinton campaign is already trying to use her weekend misfortune to increase pressure on Trump. It wasn’t until midday Sunday that Clinton was back before reporters when she emerged from daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment to make a brief statement before leaving for her own home in upstate NY.

For his part, Trump shelved weeks of vague references to Clinton lacking the “stamina” to be president and wished her a speedy recovery on Monday. Her campaign has sought to turn the matter around on Republican opponent Donald Trump, who has released only a glowing letter from his doctor, though the billionaire real estate mogul says that he, too, plans to make public additional information in the coming days.
