Donald Trump mocked Hillary Clinton for stumbling during a 9/11 memorial event last month, imitating her fall that doctors chalked up to dehydration.
It's a personal attack Republicans have warned Trump to avoid. But while he has refused to engage on the issue, even publicly wishing her well, his tone changed Saturday night after an especially heated week.
"Here's a woman, she's supposed to fight all these different things and she can't make it 15 feet to her car, give me a break," he said during a rally in Manheim, Penn.
Trump then began to mimic Clinton toppling over, stepping away from his microphone and pretending to stumble. "She's home resting right now, getting ready for her next speech, which is going to be 15 minutes in about two to three days. Folks, we need stamina, we need energy, we need people that are going to turn deals around," Trump said.

Hell, the guy's 70 years old. He's elderly himself. Much more so than Hillary. Don't let the makeup and the meerkat on his head fool you.
