Was fly sending message when it landed on Hillary Clinton's face? Native American Totems

"When fly shows up as your totem, he reminds you to respond or make decisions spontaneously in situations that you may find painful or adverse to your way of thinking. Fly will help you to stay persistent to your goals regardless of what others may think.*"

In Native American culture, every animal is believed to have a totem. So, when an animal (or insect, in this case) appears at a time or in a place that it normally wouldn’t, that means it’s delivering a unique message to the person whose path it crossed.

According to starstuffs.com, “The lesson of fly is in the value of carrying your emotions, thoughts and feelings in order to act quickly in sometimes unfavorable or uncomfortable conditions.”

Well, just moments before the start of the debate, her opponent, Donald Trump, took to Facebook Live with three women who have accused her husband, former President Bill Clinton, of sexual assault. That would likely be a humiliating experience for any woman, but Hillary Clinton had to steady her emotions and take the debate stage with a composed demeanor immediately afterward.

So, was the fly’s appearance simply a coincidence? Or was it nature’s way of delivering a message to the Democratic nominee? We may never know, but one thing is for certain: That fly created one of the “buzzier” moments of second debate.

But what I was hoping was for the fly to get sucked up Trump's nose during a massive sniff. It flew by his face while he was talking once.
