Is Donald Trump too proud and vain to admit that he caught a cold?

[kentuck]

And was taking medication for congestion and runny nose?

Or was the "sniffing" simply a habit we had not noticed before?

It was only natural that some folks might suspect "cocaine", without some sort of explanation.

It would have been so easy for him to explain and people probably would have sympathized with him more during and after the debate, if they knew he was taking ephedrine or some medication?

But, he chose to stand proud. He would never get sick like Hillary. That would be a sign of weakness. Better to let people think he was snorting cocaine than to let his supporters think he was a simple, fallible human.

1. let's insist he had pneumonia and lied about it. why is he so secretive about his medical records?

what is he hiding?



i know others have noted that he's sniffled for a long time, but still

2. No, his "sniffing" is not new.

I noticed it months ago and so have others. I think it is like a tic or habit, as you suggest.

9. We saw it at least twice at rallies that we stumbled onto

one day is was really bad. This was back in early July

[sarae]

13. I noticed it a while ago, too...

it's one of those things he does that makes me want to stab my eyes out (there are so many, lol).

3. It's better to have a blow problem than admit you have a cold?

In what fucking universe?

[kentuck]

6. In Trump's alternate universe.

Any fallibility is denied.

4. "The Donald" does not allow snot in or around his body.

And, if he did, if would be gold plated and easy to identify.

5. I think he's hiding something...

...like a coke habit...

Hell, I don't care if the rumor's true or not, I just want to hear him deny it.

Call it payback for all the Hillary brain-seizure medical smearing his side was doing.

[kentuck]

7. Rudy was the biggest cheerleader of that.

as I recall?

[stonecutter357]

8. Bull shit thats not a cold.

It's cocaine.

[kentuck]

10. Why should anyone think otherwise?

Without an explanation?

[yardwork]

11. Probably.

It's fun to speculate about cocaine but your assessment is probably accurate.

[OKNancy]

12. to me it looked like forced breathing in. Not sniffing up mucus

Not sniffing up but forcing air into his lungs
I see that type of forceful in-breathing in the cancer radiation waiting room.
Now, not saying he has lung cancer, but he sure sounds like he has some sort of lung problem.

14. Is Donald Trump too proud and vain to admit that...

He is completely out of his depth, had zero chance of beating Hillary and should not be running for president?

Yes.

[yellowcanine]

15. It's not a cold. It is a tic. Shows up when he is on the defensive.

He did not do it all of the time - just when she had him on the ropes - which was a lot of the time so it seemed like it was all of the time.
