Trump and his supporters have been questioning Clinton’s health for months.

At a rally Wednesday in Ohio, Trump remarked that the room filled with almost 5,000 people was hot and reportedly added, “You think Hillary would be able to stand up here for an hour and do this?”
“You’ve all been unfair to Hillary. I don’t know. I don’t think so”, Trump asked the crowd and noted how hot it is in the room.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump revealed new details about his health during a taping of the Dr. Oz television show.
Mrs Clinton – who has been recuperating at her suburban NY home – was treated with an antibiotic called Levaquin, which she was prescribed for 10 days.
But when Mrs Clinton takes her place once again behind the podium, she will also have to reassure the public that she has fully recovered and is fit to take on the most powerful role in the world.
At a rally in OH on Wednesday night, Donald Trump, momentarily off the leash he’s been on since his campaign shake-up, directed a tasteless remark at Hillary Clinton, saying that she likely wouldn’t be “able to stand up” onstage for an hour and deliver a speech. Things took a slight turn for the worse in January, when Clinton developed a sinus and ear infection, requiring a visit to an ear, nose, and throat doctor.
A March CT scan of her brain and sinuses showed no abnormalities and mild chronic sinus inflammation. Her mammogram and breast ultrasound results were also normal, as well as her thyroid blood tests.
Clinton’s doctor declared her healthy. In last year’s medical report, Bardack said follow-up exams in 2013 “revealed complete resolution of the effects of the concussion as well as total dissolution of the thrombosis”.
She headed to her daughter’s house in Manhattan before going to her suburban NY home, where she was examined by her physician.
She has fought back on the characterization, posting a message on her Twitter account on Monday saying she was eager to return to the campaign trail. Her physical exam “was normal and she is in excellent mental condition”, the statement said. “It’s a insane time we live in, you know, when people think there’s something unusual about getting the flu”.
In Wednesday’s letter, Bardack writes that outside of a few infections during the past year, Clinton is in solid health. Monahan said Kaine was on no medications but recommended a vitamin D supplement. He’s 5-foot-9 and weighed almost 208 pounds during his last physical in February.
The former secretary of state called Trump a “national disgrace” and “international pariah”, while criticizing Clinton aides for trying to “drag him” into her private email controversy.
Many critics have raised concerns about Clinton’s health, some accusing her of hiding a serious illness and pointing to her frequent cough as evidence that she may be unfit to serve a full term as commander in chief. She is expected to resume campaigning on Thursday.
“Donald Trump says stuff everyday that used to be considered as disqualifying for being president”.
Mook added: “It begs the question: what is he trying to hide?”
Trump, too, has said he plans to release the details of a recent physical this week.
So far Trump had released only four paragraphs, written hastily by his doctor Harold Bornstein in December 2015, gushing about his state of health.
If Trump, 70, wins the November 8 election, he would be the oldest person to be elected USA president.
A New York Times/CBS News poll released today showed Mrs Clinton had the support of 46% of likely voters nationwide, with 44% backing Mr Trump. The show will air on Thursday, Sept. 15. The Democratic presidential candidate faces increased scrutiny about her health after a video showed her staggering while getting into a van on Sunday.

Clinton’s campaign responded with a new letter from her doctor Wednesday declaring her “fit to serve” as president and recovering well from her recent illness.
