How come when Trump reads a prepared

[doc03]

statement from a teleprompter he continually sniffs. But he doesn't when he rambles on and on at one of his Nurnberg ralleys. Do they medicate him for reading or is he on coke at his rallies.

1. He can riff but not read.

So he's almost sounding out the words when he gives a speech. When he's on a rant, well, making sense doesn't matter to his fans, so he gets all loose and easy. He makes no sense, and gets vicious, but it all flows, kind of like diarrhea.

2. I think it is to give himself time.

It’s a delay tactic. While he’s sniffing he gives himself an extra moment to read the words, which he no doubt is seeing for the first time.

3. Sniffling can be a symptom of stress.

He probably finds reading from a teleprompter to be stressful because it's unlikely that he read the speech beforehand and is therefore reading it for the first time.

8. Bingo

From most reports its unlikely he's read much of anything aside from McDonald's wrappers and golf cards for months... reading off the teleprompter must be like being a 2nd grader giving a book report.

9. Hahaha!

Second grader reading a book report. Perfect!

[Skittles]

11. and they are making him say things he knows his racist base will HATE

[Turbineguy]

4. He works at his voice.

If he makes sure he doesn't sound like Hitler, he can't possibly be a Nazi.

5. I think it's microphone placement and he's always doing it, more or less.

It might be worse at times if he has allergies or something.

It continues to be odd, of course. *sniff*

[Control-Z]

6. Microphone placement can cause the sniffles?

Damn, if that ain't one of the weirdest things I've learned in a very long time.

10. No--the poster means we HEAR it during a speech because of the microphone, but

that he is always doing it, even when we can't hear it.

I think, though, that he sniffs because he hoovers up some drug before each speech he gives.

[Control-Z]

13. I was kind of being funny.

But I really wasn't sure what the poster was saying at first.

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. I don't think snorting crushed Adderoll falls under the definition of "allergies"

[2naSalit]

7. Drugs...nt

[Cousin Dupree]

12. It's obvious to me he has reading problems. He gets anxious when he has to read a teleprompter.

The sniffles are a manifestation of his anxiety. So is heavy breathing.

14. Time for a Presidential piss test.

16. I have the same question!

What medication causes sniffling?
