Donald Trump‘s sniffling on debate night attracted plenty of attention and jokes on social media – and led Late Show host Stephen Colbert to joke: ‘He sounds like he was fighting off a cold… of cocaine.’
Colbert wasn’t alone with the cocaine jab, however, as form Vermont Governor Howard Dean, best known for the sound bite of his hilarious scream that torpedoed his presidential aspirations back in 2004, made similarly eyebrow raising accusations.
