Donald Trump's Sniffling Continues, Here Now Are The Possible Causes

[mfcorey1]

....snip....

Trump may be irritated by something:
This could explain the slightly constipated look. Common irritants include perfume or cologne, cigarette smoke, and air pollution. Cold weather and bright lights can also cause irritation.

Trump may be taking medications that cause sniffling:
Medications that have sniffling as a possible side effect include blood pressure, birth control, anti-depressant, anti-psychotic, and erectile dysfunction medications. Delivering medications to the nose can also cause irritation of the nasal passages such as steroid nose sprays for allergies and shoving Viagra up your nose.

Trump may be pregnant:
Less likely but if this is the cause, he is probably in his third trimester, and the sniffles should resolve within a few weeks of delivery.

Trump may have a tic
: Note this is not the bug, which is spelled tick. Trump does not have ticks as far as I can tell. A tic is an involuntary muscle movement, meaning that it is not deliberate. This would probably not be a simple childhood tick because Trump is not a child, age-wise. Tics can occur when a person has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), myoclonus, obsessive-compulsive disorder, epilepsy, or Tourette’s Syndrome. Anxiety and stress can also lead to tics.

1. I think we can rule out him taking anti-psychotics as the cause

And sniffing could be his tic-tell for lying. Much like his tic-tac is his tell for going on the prowl.

2. "Trump may be pregnant"

Actually I do think it is a tic. And an annoying one. It may be a "tell" for when he is lying or just making up stuff, which is pretty much all of the time.

3. You forgot one

Snorting. Sniffling, rambling, pacing.

4. He could be constantly short of breath

and, as a habit or a decision, decides to breath through his nose instead of opening his mouth.

A 70 year old friend of mine who is overweight, never smoked, better diet that Trump... has COPD.

He was texting me that Donald looks and acts just the way he would if he had the schedule that Donald has... constantly leaning on chairs, pacing, sniffing (my friend simply opens his mouth and sucks in air).

Like Donald, he suffers from not be able to sleep at night, even with the CPAP machine to help.

I think we are simply looking at an overweight (obese) 70 year old with COPD and possible congestive heart failure.

5. One other possibilities from them.

The nose bleed one wouldn't be it since he wasn't wiping blood from his nose. There was another one that said some people who are very sensitive or strongly empathetic and sympathetic can also be prone to crying. He wasn't crying. Don't think it was because of nose picking. Don't think he stuffed a bean, peanut or pea up his nose. Might be something else. Just not sure.


Trump may have repeated head trauma: Blows to the head via sports such as football, boxing, soccer, and ice hockey or hitting your head with a brick over beauty pageant winners gaining weight can cause irritation and even leakage of brain fluid into the nasal passages.

Trump may have picked his nose too much or too aggressively: Nose picking can irritate the nasal passages and even lead to nosebleeds.

Trump may have bleeding problems: Anything which decreases the ability of blood to clot properly can lead to nosebleeds such as use of aspirin or blood thinners and bleeding disorders such as hemophilia.

Trump may have something up his nose: Children often jam objects such as beans, peas, and peanuts up their nose, which in turn can irritate the inside of their noses. Some adults do this as well.

6. Or he forgets to blow his nose before debates

Sad.
