Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson, who is not a doctor, last week diagnosed Clinton with dysphasia, a disorder that impairs speech and comprehension, and pushed conspiracy theories about her health promoted by some conservatives.

If Trump overplays the health card, it could backfire among women voters, who already have a very low opinion of the Republican nominee.
