(86,577 posts)Didn't he say in his book that he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom because when he shakes hands with someone else it makes him feel superior somehow? Asking for a friend.

(86,577 posts)I saw it back a year or two ago, perhaps someone who actually read his book or helped to write it. I only remember that because I thought it was absolutely disgusting but not so surprising.

(5,383 posts)Trump is in the group that is statistically most likely to go under and die from a COVID-19 infection.
But I'm sure there is a refrigerator full of antiviral and experimental drugs in the White House that they will try on him if he threatens to slip away into the UnderWorld.

(5,383 posts)Hands are close enough for the virus to jump from one to the other.
If we don't see King Trump and the First Princess for a few weeks, you will know what has happened.
Come to think of it, Malaria/Melanie, whatever her name is, hasn't been visible for a while. Wassup, dear?
Dutton went back to Australia (mistake 1), didn't go through 2 weeks quarantine (mistake 2), and kept breathing (mistake 3) on other people (mistake 4).
Why, oh why, are some people so arrogant or lacking in understanding, that they assume COVID-19 happens to other people and not them?
This virus, and every other virus, is an equal opportunity invader.
