ABC News(CANTON, Ohio) — Donald Trump took aim at Hillary Clinton’s stamina during a rally in Ohio on Wednesday, just hours after her campaign released more information about her medical history.
Even though the Clinton campaign said in a statement that the Democratic presidential candidate’s recent physical “was normal and she is in excellent mental condition,” Trump ridiculed her health.
“You think this is so easy in this beautiful room that’s 122 degrees,” he told supporters at the Canton Memorial Civic Center in Canton, about 60 miles south of Cleveland. “It is hot. And it’s always hot when I perform because the crowds are so big. These rooms were not designed for this kind of a crowd. I don’t know folks, you think Hillary would be able to stand up here for an hour and do this?”
Trump did send his apparent well wishes to Clinton, who has remained off the campaign trail since announcing on Sunday that she was diagnosed with pneumonia.
“She’s lying in bed getting better and we want her better, we want her back on the trail,” Trump said.
As ABC News previously reported, though, Clinton is scheduled to return to the campaign trail on Thursday, with a campaign event in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Trump continued to take aim at his Democratic rival, as well as President Barack Obama, saying, “I watched Obama yesterday. Why isn’t he working instead of campaigning for Crooked Hillary? Who’s paying for that big plane coming in?”
He added, “Hillary Clinton calls people who aren’t supporting her deplorable and irredeemable. I call people who don’t support me American citizens who deserve the same respect as anyone else.”
His supporters began chanting “lock her up,” to which Trump said, laughing, “Ohhhh, you people in Ohio — you are so tough.”
The Republican presidential candidate also reiterated his campaign promise to give America’s inner cities a socio-economic boost.
He said he would “liberate our poorest citizens from crime and poverty and violence … We need to take care of our inner cities … and take care of struggling Americans.”

Speaking about his plans to boost employment, Trump said, “My economic policy can be summed up in three words: Jobs, jobs, jobs.”
And, not surprisingly, he reiterated his campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. “We will build a wall,” he said. “We will build a wall and we will stop those drugs from pouring in.”
The, to the delight of the audience, he asked, “Who is going to pay for the wall?”
Chanted the audience: “Mexico!”
He also took aim at the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, saying, “Now the care are made in Mexico, and you can’t drink the water in Flint.”
