Americans Disgusted as Something Flies Out of Trump’s Mouth/Nose During His Press Conference

You're going to have to decide for yourself.

Trump’s been spiraling the drain when it comes to the latest polls. After Joe Biden dropped out of the race and erased all the fears and doubts about his ability to continue to serve at his age. Trump was saddled with the role of “oldest candidate ever.”

It’s not looking good on him.

From reports about mental decline to his own unhinged ranting on social media, Trump is quite clearly worried about losing now that he’s facing someone 20 years younger than him.

It doesn’t hurt Kamala Harris’ cause that Trump is a felon and she’s a former prosecutor. But the fact is, she’s intelligent, formidable in debate, and has lofty goals, perhaps even more ambitious than the landmarks that Biden achieved after Trump’s disastrous turn in the Oval Office.

When Trump gets worried, though, he gets crazy. So this morning the former president called an impromptu presser at his Mar-a-Lago resort to tell anyone who would listen whatever crazy stuff he could think of on the spot.

You can only guess how that went down.

Trump was confronted on a number of things. He was asked about his cringeworthy remarks in front of the National Association of Black Journalists, during which he claimed he only found out recently that Harris was black “since she started identifying as black” rather than Indian, as he claimed she had exclusively said before.

She of course has always embraced all of her heritage and spent some time during the 2020 primary at odds with even her future boss, Joe Biden, over her black heritage.

Not one to shy away from racially-tinged remarks, Trump also claimed that the crowd at his speech the preceded the January 6 riots by MAGA followers that led to death and destruction at the Capitol was bigger than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a dream” speech.

But the weirdest part of his press conference came when he was talking about Kamala’s intelligence, and clarifying that he meant that about her policies. He told the assembled reporters — even after calling her “not smart” a number of times in the same presser — that “it’s really, ultimately, not about her as much as about her policies.”

As he said it, some eagle-eyed cameraman caught something flying out of either his mouth or his nose.

Now, if it was his mouth, it could just be slivered onions from a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese from his favorite golden-arched home away from home. The small white flecks sprayed against his microphone, as you can see in the video below (which has been slowed down at the end to see better).

But if it was his nose?

Well, white flecks flying out of the nose are a different story. Maybe he’s been hanging out with his eldest son a little too much.
