“Let’s put it this way,” Trump said. “I am not concerned.”

A germaphobe who's not concerned? That statement has to be put in context coming from a male who's told 15,000+ 'altered facts'.

It would be nice to hear Trump's more concerned about the health of his citizenry and not just the health of his and his fellow billionaire's investments. But Trump and his Republicans, like elites (so called) throughout history have never shown much regard for the public in general.

Trump, a self-described germaphobe, acknowledges that he came to accept handshakes as part of the territory that comes with being the world’s most powerful leader.

Oh, so before being president he didn't shake hands! That explains why he never learned how normal humans do it.

What? No love letters? No juicy wet kisses? Followed by a gargle?

We would have a tough time in South America - two cheek kisses are standard, regardless of gender.
