1. ugh..

[underpants]

2. See now I have leverage because they don't know what I know which is that they don't know

That I know that I didn't wash my hands.

Good grief.

26. Fake news nt

[Ilsa]

3. 4F 45 is so insecure that he plays mind games on himself.

He thinks this gives him leverage. I think his businesses need a visit by local boards of health and the CDC. He's a public health danger.

PS: For 45, it isn't "schlong", it's "schlminiscule".

5. Everyone should just refuse to shake hands with him.

For so many reasons.

[smirkymonkey]

6. Oh, how disgusting.

Disgusting that he does it, but even more disgusting that he thinks that way. What on earth is wrong with him? Do other men really think this way? It's sick!

9. Did you read the last sentence on that page?

Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, YUCK!

How perverse. One more reason to ask, yet again, WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH THIS JACKASS?

And isn't he the one who allgedly does not like to touch people?

[lostnfound]

29. Fake news nt

31. That is something of a relief.

It does get harder and harder to tell these days.

[SHRED]

10. Do we have proof this is an actual page from his book?

16. FYI - Snopes says this is fallacious.

19. Rubbed his "schlong" on his casino poker chips?

No wonder Japan's Prime Minister cringed when Trump pulled him closer after their handshake.

[tblue37]

21. Ewwwww! Is this really in the book, or is it a mock-up? If real, that could explain

why his casinos failed, considering how difficult it is to fail with a casino in Atlantic City. Who would gamble at his place after hearing about that claim?
ON EDIT: My initial reaction was right. It is a mock-up, not a real page from his book.

22. Kaputskies?

What a disgusting and disturbed brat.

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. FAKE NEWS! - We don't need to perpetrate this shit

The real Trump is bad enough. We don't need to be making shit up.

[Rollo]

35. But still, EWWW!!!

It's a commentary on Trump that so many people think it's true... he is a disgusting man...

Reminds me of a tale of a Don Juan Casanova type... he confided that one of his "tricks" to lure women was to take his handkerchief and rub it on his "junk". Then he'd put the handkerchief in his breast pocket and introduce himself to the ladies. He claimed the aroma would entice them.

Again, EWWWW!!!

(Guys, don't try this at home)...

[TexasBushwhacker]

39. I admit, I believed it at first

At least the hand shaking part, but that book was published 30 years ago and calling a guys junk "junk" is a fairly new term.

[Rollo]

42. I believed it too...

So sue me!

[Demit]

32. Please delete this, kpete. And check snopes next time.

[Motley13]

33. it's actually worse, they are touching an asshole

[anarch]

34. is this an exercise in critical thinking? Has satire lost its bite, since reality is so fucked up?

I mean, the fact that it's plausible that this is what he actually does, because he has always pretty plainly been a disgusting and awful person, would have made this an instance of somewhat tasteless but sort-of-funny satire a couple years ago; now, the vulgarity that this fascist scum has plainly and indisputably evinced makes even this gross joke believable as possibly actual news.

Is this why the Republicans chose this orange-tinged empty suit? To make their Christo-fascist agenda more palatable in comparison??

Well fuck that! They're all a bunch of traitors; throw them out!

[skylucy]

36. Please delete this. It is not true. Trump is a classless and vile creep, but

this is not in his book. It is fake news.

[sarcasmo]

37. Classy

40. QUIT SPREADING FAKE MEMES, PLEASE!

I Googled this before reading through the thread, but I'm glad to see many of us aren't gullible:

This passage does not appear anywhere in Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal. We searched the text of that book for the phrase “‘no-wash’ trick,” as well as more colorful offerings such as “handling your junk” and “touched my schlong,” and came up empty-handed each time. Although pagination can differ in various electronic versions of books, the “trick” described by Trump on page 78 of the print edition of the The Art of the Deal was one he learned from rent collectors about not standing directly in front of doors when knocking on them:
