It seems that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (70) has been mired in a difficult situation after his tax records were released by the New York Times, which publicly announced its support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (69). People on Wall Street that this reporter met said that it is not illegal that Trump avoided paying federal income taxes after a huge loss, but the fact that he made a great loss in his business could be derogatory to his promotion of a "successful business man."

However, U.S. political website “The Hill” recently reported that mistakes will be more critical to Clinton who presented herself as a stable candidate to be the next president, while Trump has been surrounded by all sorts of rumors circulating and encountered with many unfavorable situations. The biggest concern for Clinton supporters would be her health.

“If she appears to stagger and faint again after she nearly lost consciousness at a ceremony marking the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, it will be a winning bet for Trump,” said Republican analysts. Trump has continuously attacked Clinton for her health, suggesting she is too weak to be commander in chief and to stay near the nuclear button. If Clinton’s health becomes questions, it is obvious that she will be mocked by Trump again.
