Donald Trump took a veiled swipe at Hillary Clinton's health Wednesday in asking a rally in Ohio whether the Democratic nominee could speak at length before large crowds in hot arenas.
"I don't know folks," Trump began at a rally at the Canton Memorial Civic Center in Ohio, where the Pro Football Hall of Fame is located. "You think Hillary could stand up here for an hour and do this?"
The crowd booed or yelled "no."
"I don't know," Trump said. "I don't think so. I don't think so."
The jibe came as Clinton's campaign announced she has been diagnosed with mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia — and followed her becoming unbalanced after leaving an event marking the 9/11 attacks Sunday.
Trump himself was interviewed by Dr. Oz about his medical health for a program to be aired Thursday.
The Republican presented Oz with a summary of the results of an exam conducted last week by his personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein.
Trump's dart came as he slammed NAFTA for millions of lost American jobs.
"People are making less real wages than they did 18 years ago," Trump said. "They’re older. They're working harder — and in some cases now, they have two jobs.
"It's supposed to be the other way around: you're not supposed to be working as hard, and you're supposed to be doing better."
"I have to tell you, me, I'm working harder — so I don't feel sorry for any of you," Trump then said.
The supporters cheered.
"You think this is easy? Oh, you think this is so easy — in this beautiful room that's 122 degrees?" the nominee asked.
"Thank you, Mr. Trump" someone in the audience yelled.
"It is hot. And it's always hot when I perform, because the crowds are so big," Trump said.
"These rooms were not designed for this kind of a crowd," he added, wiping his forehead with his hand.
Trump then took the dig at Clinton — and said later in the speech: "She's laying in bed getting better.
"We want her on the trail," he added. "We want her on the trail."
