I just …
During her headline speech on Thursday at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Clinton noticeably cleared her throat twenty-two times. In and of itself, it could be written off as temporarily being under the weather. Given its persistence, however, questions arise about the Democrats’ presidential nominee. She seemed to have deliberately timed her throat clearing during manufactured applause directed by her audience managers.
These right wingers are going to keep talking about her “health.” They have been saying she’s having strokes and had some kind of brain damage already. I would look for Trump to pick it up soon.
It’s all about portraying her as old and decrepit. Trump is older than she is but there’s this so no problem:
Donald Trump’s personal physician released a statement on the GOP presidential candidate’s medical history on Monday, declaring that the real estate magnate would “be the healthiest” president ever.
“If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” said Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, a gastroenterologist from Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
The full letter is written in true Trumpian fashion, full of hyperbole and boasting of greatness. Bornstein calls Trump’s blood pressure “astonishingly excellent” and Trump says in his own statement he was “fortunate to have been blessed with great genes.” The physician also says Trump has “no history of ever using alcohol or tobacco products.”
