Trump spokeswoman claims Clinton has rare brain disease

A top spokesperson for Donald Trump claimed Thursday that Hillary Clinton has brain damage that impairs her ability to communicate.

Speaking on MSNBC, Katrina Pierson alleged that Clinton has a disorder called "dysphasia," a condition brought on by brain trauma that erodes a person's ability to speak or comprehend language.

"What's new are the other reports or observations of Hillary Clinton's behavior or mannerisms ... as well as her dysphasia, the fact that she's fallen, she has had a concussion, there are really interesting things out there," Pierson said.

Trump has long claimed that Clinton lacks the physical stamina to be president and has stated repeatedly that she takes weekends off to catch up on her sleep.

But Trump and his campaign have not directly engaged with conspiracy theories, circulated on ultra-right wing blogs and talk shows, that Clinton's health is badly deteriorating and that the media is complicit in a cover-up.

There is no evidence to back those claims up and Clinton's physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, has repeatedly stated that the former secretary of State is fit to serve.

Recently, Bardack released a statement to address the conspiracy theories around apparent falsified medical records with her name on them saying that Clinton has dysphasia.

"These documents are false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts," Bardack said. "To reiterate what I said in my previous statement, Secretary Clinton is in excellent health and fit to serve as President of the United States."

Pierson on Thursday said Clinton could clear up the confusion by holding a press conference in which she shows she's capable of fielding questions.

"It's important to note that Hillary Clinton has taken a lot of time off the campaign trail," Pierson said. "It's something that needs to be addressed,

You cant have a brain disease without a brain! People in Arkansas cannot have a toothache because they have no teeth!

I think she need the weekend to suck the life blood out of 100 young children during the weekend to recharge - and that takes a bit of time.

And if HE said she has this disease, he never learns his lesson.

It will come across as a FALSE (he has NO PROOF of THIS disease) attack on a woman.

I would be disappointed if you were right but not shocked as he has a LOT of trouble thinking before he talks sometimes.

A photo along this line was seen on a Roku feed of Dark Sky 47?or 74? this evening when watching FNC. The picture looks very familiar (sly grin) When the network breaks for ads, the streamer inserts their own little ditties during that time period. Da Worst feed is the most outrageous, ‘Babes for TRUMP’

Not impossible. His health doesn’t look real good either. Watching him during her prime time convention speech was like watching a flame die after a hard blow on the candle.

This is stupid, the Trump campaign should not get into making specific medical assertions and diagnoses

Yet Trump's always right in the end. It's like he's got inside sources on the inside sources.

Impossible, these two haven't exchanged bodily fluids in many decades.

My apologies for the visuals to anybody having a late night snack ...

Aphasia or disphasia is not a disease, it is a symptom of a disease. She obviously has the symptom. Whether it relates to a serious disease, it open to conjecture. Her communication anomalies are not.

“...ultra-right wing...”

Now there’s a blast from the past. Leftmedia must be getting pretty desperate to recycle that old phrase.

“This is stupid”

Not really. Clinton is observably unwell. It’s entirely appropriate to publicly question her ability to handle the rigors of office, given all of the observations that have been made about her physical condition.

It’s also correct for Katrina Pierson to go after her with whatever she’s got, whether it’s off the mark, or not. This is war, and we’ve got to exploit every weakness Clinton has.

“unless this turns out to be true, Trump has “stepped in it” again. This is serious allegation with serious consequences.”

Hillary’s camp has alleged that Trump is connected to Russian moneymen and Putin. Where are the “serious consequences” for her?

Right....

This is stupid, the Trump campaign should not get into making specific medical assertions and diagnoses. Raise observable issues, sure, but no one has any business trying to play doctor on TV without all the medical facts. This can backfire big time.

I agree.

“Time to cut Pierson loose.”

Nonsense. Katrina is applying the Art of War.

Never fail to exploit an opponent’s observed weakness.
