Clinton's illness goes faint as Trump shows new lack of discipline

This could have been a morning when the media focused on Hillary Clinton 's illness after the Democratic nominee appeared to faint at a Sept. 11th memorial ceremony and had to be helped into a van.

It could have been a day with new questions centered on Clinton's lack of transparency after her campaign waited two days to disclose a pneumonia diagnosis and originally told reporters the candidate had just felt "overheated" before disappearing from the media for hours. It could also have been another day centered on Clinton calling half of Trump supporters "deplorable" racists and xenophobes.

But Donald Trump appears incapable of simply stepping back and allowing the focus to stay on his wobbling opponent. Instead, Trump called in to CNBC's "Squawk Box" and made a series of wild statements about the Federal Reserve and the presidential debates that will at least in part put the spotlight back on him — but not in a positive way.

Trump's commentary will not erase Clinton's rough weekend from the news but it allows Democrats to hammer him once again and give pause to wavering moderate and well-educated Republicans who want to support the GOP nominee but have serious and ongoing questions about his fitness to serve.

I'm seeing a lot more pushback against the slimy media for obsessing over Clinton's illness.
