Is he snorting drugs? Is that a symptom?
Does he have allergies?

(1,997 posts)The preponderance of evidence points to this conclusion. If he built his political career on demanding that President Obama produce his birth certificate, then we can demand he has a drug test.

No one could reign him in. Turns out, his private proclivities ended him. He was a huffer.
Instead of everyone reflecting that this man who couldn't even control himself, was at the lead of some very undemocratic and unfair practices, they instead joined in ranks to defend this poor sick man who couldn't help himself.
His legacy of secrecy continues.

(46,051 posts)I think it's nervousness. But I don't know why nerves would make him sniff.

(16,646 posts)I've presumed it is connected with being over weight. He's probably carrying around alot of fluid. I've seen this in heavy people before.

Sad to see people with so little self-respect that they will repeatedly accept lies and falsehoods from a five-time republican draft-dodging casino hustler with a debts to the russian mob and a highly suspicious SNIFFING THANG going on all the time.

(15,696 posts)He only does it when he's scared shitless of being completely exposed as the fraud he really is. I first thought it was cocaine during the debate with Clinton, but he's done it on several occasions since that have convinced me that it's fear.
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)Would that be just a nervous-tic, or does his fear manifest itself as postnasal drip... thus causing him to sniff? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and idea on this!

(25,366 posts)I always thought congestion or polyps.
It doesn't seem to be a typical runny nose sniff. It seems like he's trying to take in more air through his nose.
Someone said it could be because he's overweight....
It could be nerves and a form of hyperventilation where doesn't want to overuse his mouth, so he uses his nose instead.

(46,051 posts)He did it in all the debates and then stopped. Now he's doing it again.

(23,322 posts)He seems to sniff when hes stressed or hes doing or saying something he doesnt like. I wonder about cocaine but how many coke heads dont drink alcohol? I could be naive about that but back in the 80s I partied quite a bit and everybody I know that did coke did it so they could drink a lot of alcohol.

(5,126 posts)He lies about everything. I have never believed that he has abstained from drugs or alcohol. I think his sniff is due to a coke habit that did damage. I used to date a guy who was a recovering coke addict, he had damage to his septum and exhibited the same snorts. Similar personality traits too. Abusive liar. It wasn't a proud period in my life, but one I learned from and glad I escaped.

Meowmee
(5,164 posts)This was discussed when he sniffed his way through the debates. Some idiots including him tried to deny he was sniffing. He said something was wrong with his microphone. He was so crazy and incoherent in the debates it's hard to believe anyone could even consider voting for him.
Kavanaugh was sniffing as well at the hearing and he was obviously on something.
