On Wednesday, a little before noon, President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the White House.
The address was described as incoherent, rambling, full of slurred words and contradictory messages and demonstrative of a bellicose foreign policy mindset.
And that was from conservative commentators.
<p>One other thing people noted was the sniffing.</p><p><div id="insticator-container" class="embedid-ee1b1245-7f34-4d5c-8a70-c8be74fe7696"><div id="div-insticator-ad-1"></div><div id="insticator-embed"></div><div id="div-insticator-ad-2"></div><script data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript">Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-1");Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-2");Insticator.load("em",{id : "ee1b1245-7f34-4d5c-8a70-c8be74fe7696"})</script></div></p><p>The President stood at the podium for about 9 minutes. During that time he sniffed 58 times.</p><p>That's 6.44 times per minute. Or approximately once every 10 seconds. </p><p>Are there no tissues at the White House? With all of the supporting cast huddled around him, could no one hand him a handkerchief?</p><p>Writer Timothy Burke shared a greatest sniffs highlight reel with Twitter.</p><p>Burke captioned the post:</p><blockquote><em>"58 times. He sniffed 58 times during his address. Here are all of them."</em></blockquote><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
