Would have been nice if he practiced what he preached - especially as he has had known exposure to someone confirmed with coronavirus

The thing that no one (at least that I’ve seen) has picked up on is how a notoriously germophobic man is doing all this.

I can understand the bluster and the fibs, but this behaviour is really unusual for him.

Worried about projecting weakness I presume - I for one would prefer he let his inner germaphobe run wild!

Or at the very least get his hands off Dr Fauci!

It is amazing it took them this long for this basic precaution. Whatever my criticism of them, they are President/VP and keeping them healthy should be a high priority.

Apologies for repeating myself here, but there is no way he isn't tested on a daily basis and the fact he is going around shaking hands (despite being so paranoid of getting ill / poisoned that he eats takeout) might suggest he knows he cannot catch it.
 
"Trump takes coronavirus test is awaiting results"

You know, the test that almost nobody else can get. Good to know the "perfect" tests are available to a select few!

Was in a bar yesterday and even hardcore Trump guys were really pissed off with how he was handling this.

Ah, sorry for being slow! Yeah, wouldn’t be that unexpected if he might already have had a mild bout that they have determined through testing so he has acquired immunity.

Some interesting reading on this front - https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/07/donald-trump-germaphobe-1399258

He asks visitors if they’d like to wash their hands in a bathroom near the Oval Office.

He’ll send a military doctor to help an aide caught coughing on Air Force One.

And the first thing he often tells his body man upon entering the Beast after shaking countless hands at campaign events: “Give me the stuff” — an immediate squirt of Purell.

Two and a half years into his term, President Donald Trump is solidifying his standing as the most germ-conscious man to ever lead the free world. His aversion shows up in meetings at the White House, on the campaign trail and at 30,000 feet. And everyone close to Trump knows the president’s true red line.

“If you’re the perpetrator of a cough or of a sneeze or any kind of thing that makes you look sick, you get that look,” said a former Trump campaign official. “You get the scowl. You get the response of — he’ll put a hand up in a gesture of, you should be backing away from him, you should be more considerate and you should extricate yourself from the situation.”

The president’s admitted germaphobia has been a fixture throughout his career — from real-estate deal rooms to casino floors — and it’s now popping up in more public ways. It could create another round of tactile challenges as Trump launches his 2020 campaign, during which he might try to steer visitors toward his signature thumbs-up selfies and away from handshakes for the next 16 months.

The president’s hatred of involuntary bacterial emissions burst into the open last month when his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, started coughing in the Oval Office while ABC’s George Stephanopoulos was interviewing Trump. “I don’t like that, you know. I don’t like that. If you’re going to cough, please, leave the room,” Trump said before shaking his head.
