Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher says that Republican candidate Donald Trump may have been on drugs during the presidential debates with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Trump was sniffling a lot during both debates, which led to speculation in the media that he might have been using cocaine. Former Republican governor of Vermont Howard Dean was one of the voices who thought Trump may be on drugs after the first debate.
Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?

After Sunday night’s event in St. Louis, tweeters noticed again that Trump was sniffling into his microphone. Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher wrote a reponse to a fan’s tweet about what she thinks is the cause for Trump’s sniffles. Is he on cocaine? Absolutely!
I'm an expert & ABSOLUTELY

Fisher spent years as an addict, describing it as taking drugs to “self-medicate for bipolar disorder.” This is why the actress, who received her fame from playing beloved Princess Leia in the original Star Wars, considers herself an expert.
Of course, there is no way of knowing if Trump actually came to the presidential debate high on drugs. But, given his poor performance in combination with his extreme confidence, it’s not that farfetched to believe that Fisher is right. Others that have speculated about Trump being affected by drugs during the debates include Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show.

Trump has broken nearly every taboo of what we can expect from a presidential candidate, and if this proves true, yet another offense can be added to the checklist. You can find more speculations on Twitter with the hashtag #TrumpOnCocaine, and watch Fisher’s allegations from YouTube here:
