Donald Trump was right.
Germs are scary.
For three decades, I talked to Trump about his fear of germs. When I interviewed him at the Trump Tower restaurant during the 2016 race, the famous germophobe had a big hospital-strength bottle of hand sanitizer on the table, next to my salad, ready to squirt.
He told me about the nightmarish feeling he had when a man emerged from the bathroom in a restaurant with wet hands and shook his hand. He couldn’t eat afterward.
Today, in a stunning twist of fate, germs are infecting his presidency and threatening a bad prognosis for his re-election prospects.
Trump is the first president to use the stock market as a near-daily measure of his success — and his virility — and now the market is slumping. If you want to own it on the way up, you have to own it on the way down.

yet, almost unanimously, the FakeNewsMSM believed germophobe Donald Trump picked up a stranger in a department store and took her into a dressing-room and raped her.

What makes her ill is not having absolute authority to dictate how people will live. This is what the people in the leftist media demand.I
President Trump is getting in their way. They hate us, folks. Buy weapons and ammo. You will need them.

I thought she was gesturing about how big Trump’s testicles are!
To: pepsionice
Maybe back in the 1980s and to the mid-1990s....her writing was worth reading. But the past decade? It’s all two-star marginal stuff. She should just retire to Miami. She's become a human virus coated in orange bad man receptors for the purpose of gaining entry into NYC social circles.

Funny how she didn’t pipe up about Trump’s germaphobia when her team was pushing the Russian prostitutes/bed pissing hoax.
