Despite Claims that Said Otherwise, Trump Confidently Admitted Back in 2015: 'I'm Not Germophobic'

by Dana Eisenberg | 12:40 pm, January 11th, 2017

At his press conference today, President-Elect Donald Trump addressed the memo Buzzfeed published yesterday and denied some of the more salacious aspects of it, saying, “Does anyone really believe that story? I’m also very much a germaphobe, by the way, believe me.”

In 2015, however, during his Presidential campaign, Trump was on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter. At that point, it had been reported that he didn’t like to shake hands with people because he’s a germaphobe. Janice Min asked him whether he’d “kiss babies and shake hands on the trail.” He responded, saying, “I’m not germophobic.”

He lies for no apparent reason at times, other times he lies to cover his ass, like now.

I didn't see a need to subject myself to him. Why bother when the media will regurgitate his every babble nonstop for days?

Besides, he rambles and talks in circles that generally make little or no sense.

his lies about Russia and the latest peegate. I think he shows he's lying when he sniffs. He sniffed a shitload just like in the debates. I will never watch him again-why-he lies and insults. He is a fucking monster.

Yeah, that's some sort of tick he has when he's feeling defensive and starts trying to cover his ass.

I hate that tick. I had a nasty relative who had the same tick when they were caught in a lie and went on the attack. Every time he does it it reminds me of her.

He is so repulsive. EVEN if he wasn't a sexist racist traitor. I wish I could laugh but I can't today.

Personally, the vindictive, sociopathic, 70 year old toddler scares the crap out of me.

If one lie contradicts an earlier lie, no matter. Because he tells the lie he needs to tell in that moment to make him appear bigger, better, stronger than everyone else.

He's god's greatest (fill-in-the-blank). He says that one a lot about everything. He's the greatest whatever god ever created. This must mean, by his very use, that he's also the greatest asshole, fuck-up, dirtbad, and liar god ever created.

His ego is in a constant state of oneupmanship with itself and everyone around him.

He's insecure, vain, and in need of a cadre of lickspittles.

The more I think about it I really believe that pee story. He wasn't being peed on-he was watching naked pussies pee on the bed that Obama had slept on. That was his thrill. Vengeance and hatred-plus vaginas. That's him to a T.
