Donald
Trump dismissed rumors of salacious activities in Russia, noting to reporters
Wednesday, January 11, 2017 that he is “very much a germaphobe.”
The
president-elect’s dismissal of the allegations came a day after unsubstantiated
reports that Russian intelligence had information about him as a result of a
secret video showing him in compromising — and disgusting — circumstances.
The
video, according to news reports Tuesday night, allegedly showed Trump with
prostitutes in 2013 in a hotel room where the women urinated on the bed. Trump
angrily denied those claims on Wednesday.
“Does
anyone really believe that story?,” Trump asked at a news conference at Trump
Tower in New York City.
“I’m
also very much of a germophobe, by the way,” he said. “Believe me.”
Trump
is in fact well-known for having a fear of germs. He has been, in the past,
reluctant to shake hands for that reason.
Trump
said he was savvy enough to be on his best behavior while staying overseas.
“In
those rooms, you have cameras in the strangest places, cameras that are so
small with modern technology, you can’t see them and you won’t know,” Trump
mused.
“You’d
better be careful or you’ll be watching yourself on nightly television. I tell
this to people all the time. I was in Russia years ago with the Miss Universe
contest, which did very well, Moscow, the Moscow area, did very, very well.”
