Donald Trump avoided Labor Day campaign rallies today in favor of an ersatz, rally-like press conference at the White House where he repeated his phony economic boasts and his lies about his Democratic opponents.
While parts of the nation suffered from extreme heat waves, devastating fires, and the continuing coronavirus pandemic on this out-of-the-ordinary federal holiday, some astute observers noticed what they labeled as an unexpected “snowfall” during the president’s press briefing.

Yes, that suspicious object flying forth from Donald Trump’s nostril may have merely been the remnants of a dried booger, but that didn’t stop Twitter commenters from having a field day with suspicions that the president had been dipping into a stash of Peruvian marching powder or a line of crushed-up Adderall.

Y'all have stronger stomachs than mine. I honestly can't stand to listen to him for 30 seconds, much less however long he retches that bile from the White House, pretending it's a press briefing, but really holding an attendance-mandatory campaign rally.

“Mr President, there is a clip of you from your “press conference”
today (make sure to use air quotes in his presence) that shows a chunk a white material flying out of your nose after which you appeared to sniff again for Xth time today. What was that?”— Pres Obama’s Tan Suit (@AZWedding) September 7, 2020

There are lots more similar witticisms where those came from, but, in the absence of forensic evidence to analyze, the world will have to suffice with wild speculation and suspicious rumors about the president’s potential status as a drug abuser.
If it turns out that Trump is indeed using psychoactive drugs on the job, it would at least provide a measure of explanation other than organic mental deterioration for his erratic behavior and disordered thought processes.
The big question is whether or not that explanation would make us more or less relieved.
