Hillary Clinton Kept Pneumonia Secret Because She Didn't Think It Was "That Big A Deal"

Hillary Clinton will release more details about her health after facing criticism for keeping her pneumonia diagnosis a secret.

Following a shaky exit from a September 11 memorial service, it was discovered that Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia several days before her appearance at the event, prompting questions about why she had refrained from sharing such information with the public.

In an interview with CNN, the Democratic Presidential nominee said she kept her diagnosis a secret because she didn’t think it was "going to be that big a deal.”

Given the long-standing criticism over her private email server, Clinton's secrecy is a hot-button topic once again.

Republican candidate Donald Trump has been adding fuel to the fire by suggesting his opponent lacks the “physical stamina” required to lead the country, and that she takes too many naps. (Okay, but who doesn't like naps?)

Since the revelation of her diagnosis, Clinton has agreed to release more medical records, but has also hit back at Trump’s own lack of transparency by saying, “It’s really past time for him to be held to the same standards”.

With health becoming an increasingly divisive issue in this election campaign, it looks as though the pressure is on Trump to release his own set of medical examination records, and not just the one hastily written by this guy:

Awkwardness to ensue if his results come back less than stellar.
