Despite coronavirus, Trump keeps shaking hands

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump, a self-described germaphobe, can’t seem to stop shaking hands -- even in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic.

Trump was surrounded by several retail and health care industry executives on Friday as he announced he was declaring the virus outbreak a national emergency.

One by one, the president invited them to the lectern at the Rose Garden press conference to say a few words. He also shook several of their hands.

Public health officials have told Americans to avoid handshakes, as a key social distancing measure, to try to limit the spread of the virus.

They say he's a germophobe but then he schtupped a porn star without a condom.

1. Does he touch his face? Is there someone right there with towels & hand cleaner?

[RockRaven]

6. Given his face-paint, he probably long ago developed good no-face-touch habits.

He would have to have done so, right?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. I think you are right. I've rarely seen him touch his face. His greatest self-discipline perhaps

An astute bit of reasoning you shared. Thanks!

7. His tiny fingers probably can't penetrate the thick layer of orange spackle on his face.

10. I wonder if it has anti-viral properties? Ask the question in RW fora. Hint the thicker the better

2. His narcissism will be his undoing.

3. Maybe he wants to be a martyr (to Deplorables), maybe sees it as only way out

His DoJ immunity expires when he leaves office.

4. The worst part of this is that not one person refused his hand

including the experts who suggested that there should be no shaking of hands.

12. No kidding

Perhaps hence the meme 'Wash your hands like you just shook hands with Trump"

[malaise]

13. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Nice

16. Reminds me of WWII - "When you're riding alone, you're riding with Hitler."

[Goodheart]

5. Might be a sign that he knows he's already infected

and doesn't give a shit about others.

[RockRaven]

8. If you willingly shake Trump's hand, you deserve whatever you catch.

Caveat emptor.

[smirkymonkey]

11. Oh well.

[comradebillyboy]

14. I'm OK with Trump infecting everybody he touches.

15. Germaphobe is just a word he likes to throw out there when it's convenient for him.

Most likely his biggest problem with someone else in the room coughing is that it pulls focus from him.

[polichick]

17. He's a true narcissist - the beings around him...

aren’t quite real in his mind - plus, they’re pathetic suck-ups who deserve to get sick. (People with npd demand loyalty but also have disdain for loyalists.)

[Flaleftist]

19. As long as only Trumpers are stupid enough to shake his hand, that's fine with me.

20. Macho Man

I think he putting on the act like it's no big deal. He doesn't take it seriously. I hope he has it. I know that's not nice but phooey I said it!
