NEW YORK — The first of three presidential debates was full of chatter about checking facts, those infamous Hillary Clinton emails and Donald Trump's stance on stop-and-frisk, but one thing may have been spoken about the most.
People could not ignore the Republican candidate for president's sniffles.
Whether or not Trump has a cold isn't clear, but Twitter had some concerns.

Is the Trump sniffle the new Hillary cough? #debatenight

Trump's sniffing was also likened to former Vice President Al Gore's sighing at the 2000 presidential debate against former president George W. Bush.
Is the @realdonaldtrump "sniff" like the Al Gore sigh? Is it playing on TV as distracting?

Trump's SNIFF > Gore's SIGH

And in true Twitter fashion, Trump's sniffing got its own Twitter profiles.
