He is no gentleman nor statesman. But a cruel boorish man probably thinking of ways to exploit it to his advantage.

chances are he won't do it. If there's anything that d-bag isn't, it's a gentleman.

Because Trump is a shark. There's blood in the water. Quite frankly, he'd be stupid to let this opportunity pass. He's behind everywhere, he needs to capitalize on it. It's ugly but politics is ugly.

From how he behaves like an self absorbed oaf to
his totally gaudy overgilt sense of style. A total dud.
I wouldn't expect the slightest bit of graciousness from this clown

If he says anything will be the opposite and it wouldn't do him any good .. His supporters would cheer it since some of them are lowlifes but most people will be horrified if when he goes after her for being sick GOTV and get well soon Hillary !!

Other than his employee at his convention, stories of caring and graciousness don't seem to show up.

I am betting he will say something like this: 'It's sad to see that Hillary is very ill - gravely ill really - but I told you months ago that she doesn't have the stamina to be president. Some people are saying she won't be well enough for the debates! It's really very sad, wouldn't you say?'

Oh, and then he will go on to boast about his own 'excellent' health.

It will be totally crass, just like everything else he does.

He's a rude selfish bastard. He will only do this if it becomes politically necessary for him to say it Kelly-Ann might force him to.

beat her fair and square, not because she's got health problems', he'll wait until the debate and say, "Hillary, glad to see youre good enough today to be here". He's an utter asshole and we know what he's thinking - he's enjoying her illness and thinking he's got a chance if only she can get sick really badly! He's the worst type of person...

He'll use HRC's illness to prove his "point" of how she is unfit to serve as president. He's that much of a sociopath.

I'd say it's the human thing to do. Gentlemen aren't the only ones that are nice out there.
