Former President Donald Trump believed that he contracted COVID-19 last October from ex-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, according to a forthcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff.

Shortly before Trump announced he tested positive coronavirus on October 2, he worked with Christie to prepare for the September 29 presidential debate against Joe Biden.

Trump, a self-described germaphobe, had "seen the spittle" come out of Christie's mouth and "tried to duck from the droplets" as they sat across from each other at practice debate sessions, Wolff wrote in his book, "Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency."

Trump later blamed his exposure to COVID-19 on Christie, who tested positive around the same time as him and battled the virus for a week in the ICU.

I take all of these stories with a grain of salt, but I have observed and even remarked before about the enormous amount of spittle from Chris Christie. Other FReepers have seen it before.

There was a hilarious rabbit trail on one of the Sunday Morning Talk Show threads a few years ago on this very subject.

Watch for it if you can stomach seeing him interviewed on TV.
