During her 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton’s doctor announced she had pneumonia, and the media had a field day. Things got so out of hand that some conservatives started fuelling outlandish conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health in an attempt to disqualify her from the presidency. WikiLeaks even polled followers to weigh in on if they thought her symptoms were caused by allergies, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, a head injury, or just her personality.

Of course, Donald Trump didn’t waste any time using Clinton’s illness to his advantage, even posing to an Ohio rally, ” “I don’t know folks, do you think Hillary Clinton would be able to stand up here for an hour? I don’t know.” Clinton made a full recovery.
