Ever since the first televised U.S. presidential debate, Republican candidate Donald Trump has been mocked online for his “sniffles.”
During the two debates that have aired thus far, Trump’s audible sniffle has become one of the biggest talking points.

On Sunday, Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher was asked directly on social media if she thought Trump’s sniffles were a result of cocaine use. “I’m an expert & ABSOLUTELY,” she replied.
Fisher has been very candid about her past drug abuse, including cocaine. The Princess Leia actress says that she often self-medicated to deal with an undiagnosed bipolar disorder.
Asked by Vulture at the New York Film Festival to clarify her tweet, Fisher took back the accusation, stating that it was most likely nerves causing Trump’s sniffles.

During the first presidential debate, Democrat Howard Dean suggested that Trump perhaps used cocaine because he was sniffing so much. Dean later apologized for the comment.
Trump (so far) has not accounted for his incessant sniffling, other than saying he had a defective microphone during the first debate.
