“Pray for him 🙏,” one worried fan pleaded online. Another bluntly wrote, “Bill hasn’t been well for a long time. Hillary doesn’t look great either.” A third chimed in, “He has been looking bad.”

Of course, with the Clintons, ridicule was never far behind. Trolls mocked not just the bag but Hillary’s look. “I love her sense of style,” one person said with heavy sarcasm. Another joked, “Why is she dressed like a blueberry?”

Others piled on with comments like, “Hilllary the epitome of style as always [sic],” and, “Hillary has worse taste in dressing than Dr. Jill [sic].”

Emerged slowly

This isn’t the first time Bill’s health has raised eyebrows. Earlier this summer, he was spotted with Hillary at an event in New York, where fans cheered their surprise appearance. Video shared on Instagram showed the couple stepping out of a black vehicle to greet admirers.

In the clip, Hillary stole the spotlight with her trademark smile, dressed in a champagne-toned jacket, matching pants, and beige heels. She paused to sign books and memorabilia with her usual poise.

Then the camera panned to Bill, he emerged in a chocolate brown suit and dark shoes. Holding onto a nearby pole for balance, he carefully made his way toward the crowd, shaking hands and signing items alongside his wife.

Bill Clinton has now revealed his health is slipping again after he and Hillary were seen leaving the Hamptons with a defibrillator in hand.Posted by David J Harris Jr. on Saturday, August 30, 2025

The caption gushed: “The 42nd President Bill Clinton and First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, Presidential Candidate — Hillary Clinton @hillaryclinton appeared in person today […] to present their new book ‘The First Gentleman.’ Mom, I saw the 42nd President of the United States and his gorgeous wife, with my own eyes! 🇺🇸🤍.”

Not everyone focused on the book, though. Commenters were quick to point out Bill’s condition. “Wow, Bill looks frail,” one said. Another echoed, “Bill is looking somewhat frail.” A third added sadly, “He has a constant tremor. 😢.”

Others chimed in with concern: “Bill is not in good health at all….” while one person offered a softer take, “Bill is looking a little tired. I wish him good health.”

Still, some fans pushed back on the negativity, pointing out that the Clintons are simply showing their age. One wrote that they look “great for being in their late 70s,” while another supporter called Bill “still handsome 🔥❣️.”

Well-known medical history

Clinton has never admitted to relying on a portable defibrillator.

What is known, however, is his long and well-documented medical history. And the renewed concern comes after Bill’s 2024 health scare.

Just before Christmas that year, he was rushed to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital with a fever. His team reassured the public that he was “in good spirits” and “awake and alert,” with his condition stable.

It wasn’t his first hospital stay. Over the years, Bill has weathered a quadruple bypass in 2004, a collapsed lung in 2005, and a coronary stent in 2010. In 2021, he battled a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream.

Despite it all, the former commander-in-chief has kept up a very public schedule — attending high-profile political events, promoting books, and supporting Hillary’s ongoing work.

Most recently, in May 2025, he appeared at the funeral of former Labor Secretary Alexis Herman, again sparking conversation about his health.

Although tabloids have fueled speculation that Clinton may be battling degenerative illnesses like Parkinson’s, no credible outlet has ever confirmed such claims. According to the New York Post, Clinton’s doctors have repeatedly refused to go beyond acknowledging his history of heart and infection-related treatments.

Will testify in October

It’s not just health rumors swirling around the former president.

Back in August, the House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas for both Bill and Hillary Clinton as part of its investigation into the government’s handling of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Neither Clinton is accused of any wrongdoing, but both are scheduled to testify this fall , Hillary on October 9 and Bill on October 14.

In his 2024 memoir, Bill Clinton acknowledged flying on Epstein’s private jet but stressed he was unaware of Epstein’s crimes.

“The bottom line is, even though it allowed me to visit the work of my foundation, traveling on Epstein’s plane was not worth the years of questioning afterward,” Clinton wrote. He added bluntly: “I wish I had never met him.”
