Between all of Hillary Clinton's coughing and resting on pillows these days, it's hard out there for a conspiracy theorist — there is just so much to read into! But Clinton went ahead and took credit on Tuesday for keeping all the enlightened ones in business when fielding questions from the press on her new plane.

"I believe I have created so many jobs in the conspiracy theory machine factory," Clinton said. "Because honestly, they never quit."

Clinton added dryly that "if that's how they want to spend their time, instead of looking to address the problems of the American people, that's their choice. But when I'm president, we're going to get down to business."
