I'm starting to wonder if Trump has hepatitis

That would explain his weird skin tone and possibly the sniffling.

I've been trying to find good pictures of the whites of his eyes to see if they are yellow, but in every pic I've found they're so bloodshot I can't tell.

1. Apart from the orange areas, he does look red. Seriously.

What used to be light pink is red. And it seems as if the red is showing through or talking nt over the orange. He just looks red and puffy.

2. while i love the coke or worse theories, my boring guess is pseudoephedrine.

i think he has a cold (or pneumonia!) and he's doing exactly what he criticized hillary for doing -- not telling anyone and working through it.

personally, i can't take pseudoephedrine because it really jazzes me up. i can't sit still, i can't sleep, etc. because it's not far off from meth.

i think it explains the dry nose (there was no phlegm sound in the sniffling) but sniffling anyway could be habit after being sick for a few days or irritation for the same reason.

it might also explain the general meth-head behavior, though with trump it's hard to say....

4. It's not a cold; been sniffing for WEEKS (more than a month) during his rallies, interviews, etc.

I don't get that only a few commented on that before since it was so obvious.
I commented on this a month ago.
No cold lasts a month, it's something else.

5. It could be overspray

Sometimes he has some pretty pronounced white rings around his eyes. The rest of his face will be that bright orange. Getting it in his eyes or a shot up the nose may be able to explain the red eyes and possibly the snorting. He may have had a fresh coat of paint before the debate. Also snorting the spray may have killed off a lot of brain cells.
