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,

“Sleeps in a coffin with earth from Arkansas...”

Which I suppose is better than,

Hangs by her feet in the attic during the day,
hunts by night.

dysphasia is a symptom....what is her disorder or her disease...its something neurological for sure...

what is the end game?...is she to have a campaign where the SCM declares her with a massive lead and she doesn't debate, and something happens where she can't continue?...what bull shit will the rats pull?....

the Witch disgusts me and she is totally evil so I really don't care if she has a horrible disease....lots of people have horrible diseases that have lived good, decent lives..

The CANNIBAL BLOOD SUCKING Clinton has “KURU”.
If you don’t know what it is, look it up.
Once common in New Guinea highlands.

Her lips were red
Her looks were free
Her hair was yellow as gold
With skin as white as leprosy,
This nightmare, life in death, was she,
Who thicks mens’ blood with cold..

Anyone ever tell you you’re cute when you
quote goth poetry?

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright.

Maybe she meant to say dysphagia (swallowing difficulties which could contribute to the coughing fits) ? Hillary has enough problems without bringing in the total distraction of being language dysfunctional, which she obviously is not.

Agree. Here is a problem. Dysphasia is a symptom. Not a disease. Symptoms can be minimal, mild, severe. Perhaps an expert in neurology with a focus on speech could conclude from watching tapes of her speaking over the years and conclude she has minimal dysphasia. I don’t know, I am no Neurologist and I certainly have better things to do than watch hours of Hillary.

Once again, my bet is all this health crap is coming out of her own campaign in order to lower the threshold for her people to claim she won the debates because she didn’t have a seizure, fall down, or wet her pants. How many times do we have to get played like this ? Am I the only one who sees a pattern here?

One major problem for Hillary is simply stress and exhaustion

Trying to run a complex legal defense for her mushrooming Server, Clinton Foundation, Benghazi and now DNC problems while running a Presidential Campaign just over the top.

She has never been a “ normal” person and is showing the effects of massive stress over a long extended time frame which is making her weirdness more and more extreme.

Thank you, I was going to to post that this was a symptom not a disease. Hillary does communicate well!

It seems like she just mentioned it without realizing she was making a diagnosis, but she was just describing her symptoms.

Don’t worry to much about her wetting her pants as recent photos seem to show her wearing a catheter bag ... heaven help us if that bag were to burst during an appearance ...

This appears (to me) to be a way to force Hellary into televised debates.

Facts are facts there is something wrong with her.

Them bobble head moments and her face at the convention - either something neurological or she has mental health problems. That was just plain weird, I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
