Trump to Iowa: 'I'll Shake Hands with Everybody'
Donald Trump's continuing to lay the groundwork for a presidential run, and talking big about his grassroots outreach.

"I will meet many, many people, maybe all of people," Trump told The Des Moines Register. "If I decide to run, I will be shaking hands with everybody."

That came after Trump cheerleader Roger Stone quipped to Politico last month, "He's Donald Trump. There's a public fascination. So I don't think he has to go shake hands among the pig farmers."

Trump said he'll make a decision about his candidacy by June, and if he does, he's confident he'll do just fine with socially conservative Republican voters in Iowa.

"I think I'm good. I'm pro-life. I'm, uh, what else would you like me to say?" Trump asked. "I have been divorced...I have very good relationships with the exes, but one of the reasons I was divorced was that I worked very hard. And you know, that's a good reason."

Trump is a wellknown germaphobe. He'll shake hands with "everyone"? Only metaphysically.

Leave it to Trump to spin his divorces into presidential chops.

One more reason why Trump is radioactive politically: Roger Stone likes the idea of his candidacy.

3. They should send his hairpiece on a separate itinerary. He could cover twice as much ground.
