Trump, as expected, is overplaying the health thing.

After saying the only thing he should have said - I wish her the best, Trump begins sowing doubt in his sly way. He just can't help himself.

Trump Isn't Quite Sure What to Make of Clinton's Health
Donald Trump weighed in early Monday on Hillary Clinton's health scare, telling FOX News he hopes "she gets well soon" and "gets back on the trail."

"I hope she gets well soon. I don't know what's going on," Trump said. "The coughing fit was a week ago — I assume that was pneumonia also."

Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. During a Sept. 11 memorial event on Sunday at Ground Zero, she was unsteady and clearly needed help getting into a van after becoming "overheated and dehydrated."

Moments later in an interview with CNBC, Trump pivoted, saying Clinton's cough is suspicious.

"It was interesting because they say pneumonia on Friday but she was coughing very very badly a week ago and even before that this wasn't the first time," Trump said. "It's very interesting to see what's going on."
