Trump's sniffling all over the Internet and going viral - it's not just Dean......

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/28/us/politics/trump-sniffles-first-2016-debate.html


"Many Americans watching the first 2016 presidential debate Monday night at Hofstra University zeroed in on sniffling noises coming from Donald J. Trump. In less time than it takes to set up a Twitter account — about two minutes these days, give or take a few seconds — the sniffling inspired speculation about his health, a crop of nose-first spoof Twitter accounts, hashtags and a few vaguely unsettling YouTube compilations."

but how pathetic it would be if our country finally realizes it needs to reject the most incompetent, pathologically lying, tax-evading, self-dealing, tax-cheating, adultering, rapist, bigoted, sexist narcissistic fascist ever to run for president...

... because he sniffs too much.

Trump actually went out of way to deny he was sniffling, despite the obvious. Blaming it on the mic.

Please make this blow up. The redneck Trump supporters would NOT approve of cocaine use. Rachel Maddow just mentioned it......

There just could be something to this.... Stranger things have happened. Remember Jimmy Carter with that rabbit attacking his boat? People made fun of that for months, cartoons all over the place.

I have a bipolar friend who behaves similarily to the way Trump acted when he is speaking publicly or under stress

and his excessive sniffing during the debate was shockingly obvious.

Had he said "I'm getting a cold" and put a giant box of Puffs on his podium, it would be something we'd all identify with.

But this was just weird.
