Incredible! "Trump: No sniffles, the mic was bad"

Hmmm... I guess that mic made him also contort his face during the sniffles we all heard. The guy is totally delusional!

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/09/27/trump-says-no-sniffles-mic-bad/91158780/

On Monday night, Trump could repeatedly be heard breathing heavily.

Could the candidate who repeatedly whacked Hillary Clinton for her “lack of stamina” and has trafficked conspiracies about her health be sick? #Trumpsniffles became a thing on Twitter as people began to speculate.

But on Tuesday he denied any inklings of a sickness.

“No sniffles, no. You know, the mic was very bad. Maybe it was good enough to hear breathing," Trump told Fox & Friends Tuesday morning. "There was no sniffles. I have no allergies. No cold. Every once in a while, but no cold.”

At a different point in the interview he speculated that maybe he had been given a bad mic on purpose.

During that 4 minute period at the beginning when he was acting like a poo flinging monkey the article said that he was speaking so softly it was barely audible. Now this excuse is that the mic was bad. Pathetic.

Which is where he started several years ago with his Monday morning call ins.

Politico had a caucus of insiders and one Virginia Republicans commented that Trump can't hide at Fox News and have a chance.

Life outside the bubble is hard.

But if he didn't have a cold or allergies, then that sniffing was probably related to coke use. It sounded like coke nose. It looked like coke nose - especially the swiping and pushing with his fingers.

his microphone was so bad that it didn't pick up his voice, but it picked up every little sniffle?

You'd think some one would have told him that his face would be on the screen for the entire 90 minutes. He was making odd faces 30 seconds into it.

And ... if anyone needed a potty break it was Trump.

Some one could have quietly told him he was bombing.
