People Want to Know Why Don Jr. Looked Like That at the RNC

It’s been an eventful first evening of the 2020 Republican National Convention, and it may have reached its pinnacle midway through the 10 p.m. ET hour when Donald Trump Jr. took the virtual stage to deliver a speech about how great his dad, Donald Trump, is.

But a lot of folks on the internet quickly pointed out that something looked a bit off about Don Jr. And the subject of why he looked like that while delivering this speech became a major topic on social media.

And here are the thoughts some folks had about Don Jr’s appearance:

CNN's Dana Bash says worried Republicans texted her during Kim Guilfoyle's and Don Jr's speeches wondering "why is this so dark" before bringing up Junior's appearance:

Kimberly Gargoyle stole Night 1 of the RNC from Don Jr, she brought the heat, and he brought very tiny eyes

Not long after his speech, “cocaine” became a trending topic on Twitter in the United States. Some people apparently believed that the narcotic may have been responsible for the expression on Donald Trump Jr’s face during his speech. We couldn’t possibly say whether that’s true, of course, but many people are speculating about it. You can read many of those tweets here.

I thought it looked like he'd been bawling his eyes out, though cocaine makes more sense, or both. Probably both.

He was on Fox couple months ago...the split screen thing where the anchor in the studio talks to the person
who is somewhere else.

Fox blondie woman got ONE question in, and Jr. started talking, very loudly, almost shouting.
He went on and on and on and on, could not be interrupted, tho Blondie tried several times.

In mental health language, he showed "pressured speech" and "flight of ideas"

In substance abuse language, he acted high as hell.
