“The coughing fit was a week ago, so I assume that was pneumonia also”, Trump said in an interview with broadcaster Fox News.

Hillary Clinton took the day off from campaigning Monday to rest.
Later Tuesday, Clinton told supporters via text message and Facebook, “I’m feeling fine and getting better”, adding, “Like anyone who’s ever been home sick from work, I’m just anxious to get back out there”.
When pressed about her campaign’s lack of transparency, Clinton turned the conversation to her GOP opponent’s refusal to release his health records. Video from outside the event appeared to show her knees buckling as she got into her van.
She said her campaign didn’t publicly reveal her diagnosis because “I just didn’t think it was going to be that big of deal”.
It was a humid day in NY, with temperatures around 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 Celsius).
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs.
Asked by reporters about the candidate’s health Monday in an Oval Office meeting with congressional leaders, Mr. Obama ignored the question and smiled.
If there is one word to describe the response of Trump supporters it would be … deplorable.
“Her energy staggers me”, he told a crowd in Dayton, Ohio.
Mr Trump has also pledged to release details about his health with “very, very specific numbers”.
As she is taking time off, Bill Clinton will host fundraisers and at least one campaign event while his wife recovers.
Clinton walked out of her daughter Chelsea’s home a few hours later, smiling and posing for pictures with a young girl before departing for her home in Chappaqua, just northeast of Manhattan. Many people her age need a week or more to recover from even a mild case of pneumonia, said Dr. Sharon Bergquist, an Emory University assistant professor of medicine who specializes in internal medicine. From Clinton, we’ve gotten an analysis of some issues already public, like her concussion and blood clots, but the information is incomplete.
The celebrity businessman talked through the scuffle but cracked after the disturbance: “Is there any place more fun than a Trump rally?”
“I just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal”.
Major fall or just a stumble? On Sunday, Clinton left Ground Zero around 9:30 a.m. ET because she was feeling unwell.
What should be most concerning to the Clinton team is that the Trump campaign managed to hold its tongue as the news unfolded, probably sensing that the story was damaging enough on its own.
“We know the least about Donald Trump of any candidate in recent American history”. “We’re going to make history here in IL by bringing home the first president that is a woman who comes from our great state”, said Kim Foxx, a candidate for Cook County State’s Attorney. For many supporters, Clinton’s battle with Republican Donald Trump is worryingly close, raising concerns not only about holding the White House but also retaking control of the Senate.
The vice president rejected accusations that Mrs. Clinton is deceiving the public about her health.

“We were focused on making sure to track down her doctor, making sure that she had the quickest possible access to medical attention”, campaign manager Robby Mook added.
