But only if Natalie was standing there with wipes for him to use immediately afterwards.

I would guess that Trump is the same sort of dude.

Quite a few people have claimed he's germaphobic, it's not just him.

That said, I don't really get why it's terribly important either way.

You can easily bet that, as much of a power-mad narcissist as he is, he really hates being sick. And he's probably deathly afraid of catching a sickness that could kill him ... most people are pretty afraid of that.
