Donald Trump’s suspicious habit of snorting his way through presidential debates was mocked by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest after he was asked about Trump’s call for drug tests before the third presidential debate.

Earnest responded when asked about Trump’s suggestion that debate participants should be drug tested, “So, you’re telling me that the candidate who snorted his way through the first two debates is accusing the other candidate of taking drugs? That’s a curious development in the campaign.”

Press Secretary Earnest was asked what he was trying to say with his response. He answered, “Just trying to have a little fun.”

Everyone who watched the first two debates has wondered if Trump’s constant snorting means that he is on something, but what I noticed was that Trump tends to snort when he tells his most outrageous lies. The snort may less of a sign of a drug problem, and more of a liar’s tell.

It is ironic that the man who behaves like he is on drugs is accusing his opponent of being on drugs. Projection has been the one consistency of the Trump campaign. Trump claimed that the Clinton’s foundation was engaged in fraud, but it has been proven that it was Trump’s foundation that was misusing charity funds. Trump claimed Clinton is erratic and unstable when he has been a poster child of instability from the moment he stepped off of escalator at Trump Tower to declare his candidacy.

The examples of Trump’s projection are endless, but the idea that the guy who sounds and acts like he is on something accusing his opponent of being on drugs was too absurd and silly for even the White House to pass up.

Even the White House seems to be wondering what’s wrong with Donald Trump?
