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,

It’s smart. Have a woman say it.

By the time the MSM goes INSANE trying to debunk it, it’s too late.

It’s out there now. True or not.

Good tactic.

I think on Nov 8, people like me who had questioned Trump’s campaign for MANY months will be proven very wrong and I WILL BE THRILLED.

He knows what he’s doing.

Smart man.

I agree. There are too many real issues - nothing gained by supposing Hillary has this or that ailment. IMHO.

And that’s exactly what I thought when I read this...what iron-clad info was delivered to the Trump camp.

They KNOW something.

Unless this was said with the thinking that Hillary will have to clear this up once and for all. Now everybody has seen something is not right and it is up to her now to speak up.

Why do you assume Pierson made “a specific medical diagnosis?”

Mhmm. Yes?

And why can we not speculate about the obvious concealment of the visibly poor health of this person seeking to be our president?

If she is healthy, then she can release her records and prove it, otherwise, it’s going to be the topic of many conversations, isn’t it?

Exactly right. Way too many people have noticed something is wrong with Hillary’s condition.

Check out Pierson’s twitters. Most of them are by the real Donald Trump.
He’s all in.

The nervous nellies here remind me of those saying years ago that it was imprudent to question Barry’s bona fides, for goodness gracious sake, leave poor Obama alone. Let’s move on to more important, real things, blah blah blah.

Go Trump! Destroy this evil woman.

I agree. Katrina Pierson is a pro and would not say this unless she got an okay from her boss.
