Trump on handshakes:
Oh boy, does Trump hate shaking people’s hands.
“One of the curses of American society is the simple act of shaking hands, and the more successful and famous one becomes the worse this terrible custom seems to get,” he wrote in his 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback. “I happen to be a clean hands freak. I feel much better after I thoroughly wash my hands, which I do as much as possible.”
Did we mention, he’s not a big fan of the handshake?
“But, you know, I am not a big fan of the handshake. I think it’s barbaric,” he told “Dateline” in 1999. “They have medical reports all the time. Shaking hands, you catch colds, you catch the flu, you catch it, you catch all sorts of things. Who knows what you don’t catch?”
