UPDATE: Sept. 27, 2016, 9:05 a.m. ET Trump told Fox & Friends that he was not suffering from "sniffles" during Monday's presidential debate. "No, no sniffles. You know, the mic was very bad, but maybe it was good enough to hear breathing," Trump said. "But no sniffles. No cold."
One of the main talking points of the first presidential debate was... Donald Trump's sinuses - yes, you heard it right.
