Howard Dean Asks: Is Trump on Cocaine?

[EV_Ares]

During the first 2016 presidential debate, social-media users noticed Donald Trump repeatedly sniffing while Hillary Clinton spoke. The mysterious nasal action moved former Democratic presidential candidate Gov. Howard Dean to ask the outlandish question of whether the Republican nominee had been using cocaine.

“Notice Trump sniffing all the time,” Dean tweeted during the debate. “Coke user?”

Fox News White House correspondent Kevin Corke responded by telling the Vermont governor: “Unbecoming Governor. Americans expect better from you.”

(Like someone from fox would never make a comment like that about Hillary)

4. He didn't say Trump is a coke user,

he just asked the question. You know, some people say he could be, but we're just asking the question, like on FAUX.

[OnDoutside]

19. I heard some people are talking about it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. People are talking.

I didn't say it, but I heard that he snorts cocaine.

[OnDoutside]

21. So some people are saying.

[JHB]

22. Many, many people. Smart people, bigly smart.

[elleng]

5. I didn't notice it, and DON'T want to watch again!!!

[LeftInTX]

8. I noticed, but it seemed like allergies or early cold stuff

When he drank water he kinda gulped it, instead of sipped it.

But it wasn't as funny as Marco Rubio's Poland Springs Water Gate.

[pnwmom]

17. I saw an MSM article reporting that his campaign denies that he has a cold.

They must be clueless, or they'd be saying he DID have a cold!

[randome]

23. If elected, he will have the best allergies of any President in history!

26. You didn't notice? Trump sniffed loudly throughout.

[JoePhilly]

32. My daughters were laughing abut that all night.

It would be quiet, and then ... his loud ..... SNIFF!!!!!!!!

He even snorted at least once.

[yardwork]

34. I laughed too. After all his attacks on Hillary's health....

[Island Blue]

6. He is a doctor,

unlike all of Trump's so called medical experts who commented on Hillary's health a few weeks ago.

[displacedtexan]

7. Exactly!

I would imagine a physician has seen this sniffing since the 1980's and can recognize it.

[tavernier]

10. Yup

He has seen the signs, no doubt.

[JI7]

9. so Dean who is not running for anything and is a private citizen is held to higher expectations than

Trump who is running for President ?

[exboyfil]

15. But he is a former DNC chair

It is unbecoming, and I wish he had not said it.

[pablo_marmol]

25. Agreed. This type of comment just makes us look bad.

Let viewers draw their own conclusions. Can't believe that some are saying "Hey -- he was just asking."

That's the classic Faux News tactic that we've justifiably attacked. Hypocrisy sucks.

[MyNameIsKhan]

11. This is how coke use looks like

You seem to have water coming out of nostrils and you get a urge to push up... Can you imagine trump leaking water from his nose... he somehow saved himself

[yardwork]

27. He pushed at his nose a couple of times.

I actually wondered if he'd snorted some coke right before going onstage. Maybe he just had a cold.

In any case, he looked and sounded ill. Hillary looked and sounded great.

[ffr]

12. He probably rides the white pony now and again.

Certainly has the money to avoid riding the white horse.

[Gothmog]

13. That would explain the sniffles

[cheyanne]

14. That's how Ivanka lured him on stage . . .

[Buckeye_Democrat]

33. After seeing how he interacts with her, he probably snorts it off her breasts.

Or a butt cheek.

[MrScorpio]

16. That would explain the complete disappearance of all the cocaine around Hofstra Univ. tonight nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. Who is the seller?

Dr. Feelgood?

[Vinca]

24. Sounds like a diagnosis, Dr. Dean. LOL.

For the longest time I couldn't figure out what that noise was, then I realized it was Trump sniffing. Guzzling water and sniffing. Oh, the commercial potential . . .

[beachbum bob]

28. the media should demand that trump proves he is not a coke head...

oh wait...they only do that thing if it was hillary, I forgot for a moment

[-Steph-]

29. I have a relative who is a drug addict. She's the only person I know that sniffles nonstop like that

As I was watching the debate, his sniffling was very familiar to me and kept reminding me of my cousin. After the debate, when I started looking through social media, it was not surprising to me at all that others were feeling the same. It's not impossible to think that he might have taken something thinking it would help him get through the debate.

[spiderpig]

30. OK - so I'm going in for a job interview and I have a cold/allergies/whatever

The first thing I do is apologize and explain I have a cold/allergies/whatever and that's why I'm snuffling and need a box of tissue...

(OK - I should stay home. But that's not the point.)

Trumpy's sniff/snuffle/snorting was so obvious that it even drew attention away from the drivel he was spewing from his piehole. He wasn't ill as far as we knew.

But here's Trumpy many hours later, and he hasn't explained a thing other than to blame a microphone. Was it on autotune to add sniff/snuffle/snorting to his bloviating?

Justice for microphones!!!

[C_U_L8R]

31. It's not the first time

He sniffles and snorts in almost every rally I've seen him in.
There is definitely something going up his nose.
And he does seem artificially jacked up on... something,
either powered or prescribed by Dr Feelgood.
Maybe it's just all that racism and hate.
But lots of people are saying...
