In the early 90s, the Donald said he would ask his ladies to swing by the doctor for an AIDS test before hed wine and dine them.
Future American President Donald J. Trump appears to be a tad germophobic.
One of the curses of American society is the simple act of shaking hands, and the more successful and famous one becomes the worse this terrible custom seems to get, the 2016 Republican presidential frontrunner wrote in his book The Art of the Comeback, published in 1997. I happen to be a clean hands freak. I feel much better after I thoroughly wash my hands, which I do as much as possible. (He has repeatedly described the custom of handshaking as barbaric, because of the germs.)
But his fear of disease goes well beyond his worries about catching a cold from glad handers. According to an early 90s Associated Press article, Trumpthen a newly eligible bachelortalked about how he asked women to agree to an AIDS test at his doctors office before he would take them out on a date.
Its one of the worst times in the history of the world to be dating, he explained in late June 1991, roughly four months before Magic Johnson announced that he tested HIV-positive, and before Queen frontman Freddie Mercury died of AIDS.
Trump made his comments shortly after his divorce from Ivana Trump was finalized, and after he had been seen out on the town with TV personality Marla Maples and then model Carla Bruni.
I have been known to say that to women, the real estate mogul and notorious womanizer told Newsday when asked if he actually asked potential lovers to test for STDs. Its one way to be careful. There are a lot of ways. Im saying, take all of those ways and double them, because you will need them Its very scary out there.

After some years of wooing and HIV-testing, Trump would settle down and remarry, twice. But along the way there was one famous woman he regretted never asking out: Princess Diana.
Do you think you would have seriously had a shot? NBCs Stone Phillips asked Trump during a Dateline segment from November 1997. (Princess Diana had died that past August.) I think so, yeah, Trump replied. I always have a shot.
Trump claimed he never asked her out because he was always too busy. It is unclear if The Donald would have AIDS-tested the late Princess of Wales, had he not been so busy.
Yeah, you’re the authority on all things Trump and a private detective to boot. I wish you could actually see how silly you look.
So?
In the 90’s, I insisted on tests as well...
Not just about Trump, but it amazes me how counter cultural many conservatives have become.
Seems like a lot of conservative have totally bought into the 60's leftist view of culture. The kind of thing Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn espoused. And they have contempt for traditional American values. Look it up. Read about it.
Loose women sink ships.
And the problem is......?
People should have been worried. It’s primarily a behaviorally spread disease. I worked as a phlebotomist in the late 80s while in school. We saw a lot of AIDS patients who were heterosexual junkies.
Hillary still has her husband checked regularly.
Where did you hear that? I don’t think they care because they haven’t slept together in many years.
Bill will probably OD on Viagra anyway.

Was anything I said factually incorrect? Please point it out. It’s not a secret about his marriages.You can criticize, but you never actually show where I am wrong.
Asawin Suensaeng. What third world toilet did this alphabet pervert crawl out of, prying into another man’s private life.
Is he bucking for UN Secretary General? They always seem to have stupid names. Mumble grumble grrrr
and? I always test all my girlfriends if they’re liberals.
Under Trump’s circumstances, he is being smart.
It’s weird that when Scarlet Johanson said pretty much the same thing she was bashed around here and called a slut. Now that their new god is saying it, it’s a good thing.
No, he wasn't. He was only a bachelor for the last six months of 1999.
Wow, you’re right. The unfairness is staggering.
I wasn’t even referring to the unfairness. I was referring to this Stalinist personality cult, where people are so gullible falling for a con artist who doesn’t represent them and abandoning their beliefs when he tell them to. He’s like L.Ron Hubbard or something.
Um, Diana in her bubble world and the affairs she had - even her husband - heck yeah, he should have had her tested.
Maybe people today don’t remember how scary life was in the AIDS days. I worked at a university blood lab. When the HIV samples came in, an older worker there, a dear soul, wouldn’t let ANY of us young students handle those flagged, red labeled vials.
Trump has made a lot of noise on illegal immigration - but what single other conservative issue is he talking about???
Come to the Darkness, Nick. Don is giving us all boxes of Ho Hos.
(Not ‘Ho’s’. Delectable cream-filled chocolate treats.)
