Hillary Clinton: Every time I think about Trump I get allergic
Hillary Clinton has jokingly blamed a coughing fit on Republican rival Donald Trump during a Labour Day rally amid “conspiracy theories» about her health, The Telegraph writes.
According to the source, the Democratic nominee took the stage in Cleveland, Ohio, coughing uncontrollably, before spinning it into a joke about her opponent: “Every time I think about Trump I get allergic.”
Behind Mrs Clinton, running mate Tim Kaine clapped enthusiastically while the audience laughed in response.
The Democratic candidate's worst coughing bout of the race will certainly fuel critics' contentions that the 68-year-old has serious health problems, which might hurt her ability to serve as president.
“I'm not concerned about the conspiracy theories. There are so many of them that I've lost track of them,” she told journalists, chalking up her coughing to seasonal allergies.
