President Trump, a self-professed germophobe, says that despite concerns over transmitting the coronavirus, he will continue to shake hands with people. 'You can't be a politician and not shake hands,' he said.
Trump said people"want to shake your hand, they want to say hello, they want to hug you, they want to kiss you."
Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the Trump administrations response to the coronavirus did follow the recommended procedures as he was met by Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington on a trip there Thursday. At the airport, the two men were seen bumping elbows rather than the shaking hands. Vice President Mike Pence greeted Washington Gov. Jay Inslee Thursday with an elbow bump to avoid shaking hands.Vice President Mike Pence greeted Washington Gov.

Trump repeated his assertion that his administration's response to the outbreak has gotten"rave reviews," citing a Gallup Poll taken early last month before the extent of the outbreak was clear. More recent polling has shown higher disapproval of Trump's response.Facebook
