Donald Trump appeared to have a case of the sniffles during Monday night’s debate against Hillary Clinton. Commentators took note. Former deranged presidential candidate Howard Dean, a medical doctor, suggested a possible diagnosis: Perhaps Donald Trump was abusing cocaine.
Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?

Dean wasn’t the only one to deploy the c-word in response to Trump’s apparent nasal issues. Former comedian Stephen Colbert said Trump “sounded like he was fighting off a cold with cocaine,” or “like the coked-up best man in the bathroom at a wedding,” or “like Scarface, but, you know, with more face.”
Trump’s sniffles were widely noted on social media, and even inspired some new hashtags — #CokeUsersForTrump and #MakeAmericaSniffleAgain — as well as a website: CokeUserForTrump.Com.
Trump's only preparation was the kilo of coke he bought before the debate
