Trump's nickname is "The Donald". Trump is famous
for his objection to handshakes; a 1999 Time
magazine article quoted him as saying "I think the
handshake is barbaric. Shaking hands, you catch the
flu, you catch this, you catch that, you catch all
sorts of things." Another germophobic casino-owning
