Photos released by Reuters and Getty in late February showed two men holding Clinton by the arms after she slipped on a staircase while campaigning in SC ahead of that state’s primary.

Clinton’s health has been a subject of consistent scrutiny since 2012, with conservative commenters calling out an on-camera coughing fit as a sign that the 68-year-old may be physically unfit to hold office. Some armchair commentators even predicted Clinton wouldn’t be able to run for president in 2016.
Though it’s Trump who would be the oldest president in the US history if he were to be elected, the real estate mogul has adopted the risky tactic of suggesting that Clinton is physically and intellectually unfit for office.
The issue also states that as of now, it is unclear whether Hillary may have ongoing health problems.
Donald Trump is hammering Clinton for “short-circuiting” when she had to answer questions about her private email scandal, which she clearly did not answer truthfully.
A right-wing blog called The American Mirror picked up on the tweets and published a short story on Sunday.
Dripping with its typical Matt Drudge snark, the top headline reads, “HILLARY CONQUERS THE STAIRS”.

The other links at the top of the Drudge Report home page point back to a video on YouTube that shows the former Secretary of State falling as she boards Air Force One, and a New York Times link about a 2013 treatment for a blood clot. But ordinarily the stories on the site are up-to-the-minute.
