Last night Republican Babadook Donald Trump faced off against Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham-Clinton in the first of three debates. And while there’s a lot to discuss about all that went down, Twitter wanted answers about the sniffles.

After starting vicious rumors about Clinton’s health, Trump found his own physical fitness and stamina called into question. And the answer to many, many Twitter users—including former presidential contender Howard Dean—was simple: cocaine.

Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?

All these people who are remarking that Trump faded quickly after the first 15 minutes obviously don't understand how cocaine works.

Trump crashed halfway through the debate, losing stamina. He was also sniffling a lot. And in an unrelated point, cocaine is a helluva drug.

Trump is dehydrated and sniffling. Cocaine… or pneumonia?

Drink every time you hear Trump's cocaine sniffles

A lot of people are saying Trump is on coke, which is ridiculous. People on cocaine love to talk about their specific plans for the future.

Who cares if Trump is on cocaine? Cocaine has been known to increase debate performance. Ask anyone I've done cocaine with, They'll tell you

People are saying Trump has a cocaine problem. I’m not sure. Maybe it’s true. Maybe it’s not. But a lot of people are saying it. Ask them.

Yes, sure, jokes about Trump and cocaine. But jokes *aside*, everything about his demeanor screams legal amphetamine addiction.

Trump thinks he won. Cocaine gives you delusions of grandeur. #sniffles

Trump had an incredibly low bar to clear and he failed.
