Hillary Clinton joked about her health on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel” Monday night, telling the late-night host to check her pulse "to make sure I'm alive."

Jimmy Kimmel obliged, putting a thumb to the Democratic presidential nominee’s wrist and joking: "Oh my God, there's nothing there!"

"Back in October, the National Enquirer said I'd be dead in six months. So with every breath I take, I feel like it's a new lease on life," Clinton joked. "I do feel sometimes like this campaign has entered into an alternative universe."

However, speaking on MSNBC last week, top Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson alleged that Clinton has a disorder called dysphasia, a condition brought on by brain trauma that erodes a person’s ability to speak or comprehend language.

1. Katrina Pierson can go to he**! My daughter has dysphasia from a stroke

and it's nothing to joke about or make light of. It's a struggle every day, every wakening hour, taking away one's sense of dignity and one's sense of safety.
I'm proud of Hillary Clinton and support her efforts to uplift Americans, especially those in medical need.

..........................
Clinton, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, laughed off questions raised by her Republican opponents about whether she has the strength and stamina to be commander in chief, dismissing them as “part of the wacky strategy” to undermine her candidacy.

“I don’t know why they are saying this,” Clinton told Kimmel on Monday night.

“I think on the one hand it’s part of the wacky strategy … on the other hand it absolutely makes no sense. And I don’t go around questioning Donald Trump’s health. I mean, as far as I can tell he’s healthy as a horse.”



....................

Making her third appearance on the show since the launch of her campaign, Clinton also discussed the campaign’s difficulty in finding someone to play the role of Donald Trump in debate prep.

“You’ve got to be prepared for wacky stuff. I’m planning on drawing off my experiences from elementary school,” she said, “like the guy that pulled your ponytail.” Kimmel suggested that actor Gary Busey might play a good Donald Trump. ....................

6. Well, he IS a horse's....

7. If Hillary's got that....then what the hell do you call what Drumpf has? He must be brain dead.

No disrespect for those unfortunate enough to actually be in that condition. It's just a comparison in this particular case. Hillary's got mega intelligence, strength, leadership ability, stability, common sense and caring for America and it's people. The "man" running for the other side has zero.

8. trump has coprphasia, shit keeps coming out of his mouth.
