After Donald Trump’s debate-night sniffles drew enough attention to start trending on Twitter, former Gov. Howard Dean speculated that the Republican nominee might be using cocaine.
Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?

Dean, who has served as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has acted as an aggressive surrogate for Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign.
Trump seemingly suffered from a runny nose Monday as he met Clinton on the stage at Hofstra University for the first presidential debate.
A hashtag dedicated to speculation about his condition, “#sniffles,” began trending on Twitter shortly after the debate began.
Dean himself was a Democratic presidential candidate in 2004 before a bizarre scream on the eve of the Iowa caucuses felled his campaign.
