The internet took notice of Donald Trump sniffling again during the second presidential debate Sunday in St. Louis.

The Republican nominee was mocked on social media last month during the first presidential debate when many users wondered why Trump appeared to be sniffling so frequently. At the time, Trump had recently suggested Hillary Clinton was medically unfit for the presidency after the Democratic candidate suffered a bout of pneumonia.

Trump sparked a new round of jokes on Sunday, with many using the hashtag #TrumpSniffles to poke fun at him.
