President Donald J. Trump, has many phobias. He once said he hated shaking hands because of the risk of germs.
“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. 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.”
Hmm….I guess that didn’t seem to matter when he met Stormy Daniels.
The other phobia is a fear of stairs. It is called bathmophobia. Why? I don’t know, ask the experts. He once grabbed Theresa May’s hand when heading towards a ramp and that made news.
The newest phobia seems to hinge on tattoos. Trump sat down with one of his best buddies, Sean Hannity for his first TV interview as president and this is what he had to say about the migrant crisis and certain migrants in particular.
“Who would ask for open borders, with people pouring in. Some of whom, who….I won’t get into it…but you can look at them and you can say ‘could be trouble, could be trouble! There are people coming in with tattoos all over their face. Their entire face is covered in tattoos. Typically, you know, he’s not gonna be the head of the local bank.”
Hmm…..did he forget the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers? Don’t they have tattoos? Right, I see, they are not considered immigrants and neither are they criminals as far as Trump is concerned. They have been released on Trump’s orders and their sentences have been commuted. However, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio head of the Proud Boys had this to say. “I’m happy that the president’s focusing not on retribution and focusing on success, but I will tell you that I’m not going to play by those rules. They need to pay for what they did.”
What does that mean? You’ll find out when the time is right I guess.
A national emergency has been declared by President Trump saying, “America’s sovereignty is under attack.” He has ordered the deployment of 1,500 troops to the Southern border adding to the 2,000 already there.
One thing’s for sure, there is a flurry of activity in the tattoo parlors. The kind that erases tattoos!
