Trump's Disguised Sexism

So Trump has declared that Hillary Clinton's health isn't up to the standard needed for a President.  Huh?  He criticizes her physical and mental health and says she goes home and sleeps.  Huh?  First of all, he doesn't know this first hand, second, she ahs released a detailed statement from her physician, compared to his blatantly phoney health statement that declares he is the healthiest person to ever run for President.  Huh?
But here's the bottom line:  this attack by Trump is an indirect, subtle way of injecting sexism into the discussion.  We are back to code words - this time, her inaccurate physical and mental limitations  will only ring true with people, mostly men, who believe women are not up to the job.
