“Star Wars” star and acclaimed author Carrie Fisher says she knows exactly why Donald Trump has a constant case of the sniffles during the presidential debates, and her conclusion is the same as everybody else’s: cocaine.
During Sunday night’s second presidential debates, a fan tweeted at Fisher asking if Trump’s sniffle was due to coke use.
“Tell me something about that sniffle…coke head or no?” asked the fan.
“I’m an expert & ABSOLUTELY,” replied Fisher.
I'm an expert & ABSOLUTELY

The Donald has been getting a lot of attention for his nose issues. During the first presidential debate, the Republican candidate was frequently sniffing. Social media quickly took notice and had a ball mocking his sniffles.
It seems like the only person who didn’t notice Trump’s sniffles was… Trump. The incessant sniffling was still present the second time around.
Fisher’s expertise on the signs of whether somebody is a cokehead comes from her own past drug addiction, which Fisher herself has never shied away from discussing.
Trump’s sniffles were a big topic of conversation after the first debate on September 26, and the sniffles returned for the second debate — thus the question for Fisher.
To find out if Trump’s sniffles will persist, tune in October 19 for the third and final presidential debate.
