A brief overview of Trump's personal oddities
After eight years of relatively normalcy from the Executive Branch under President Obama—whose oddest trait might be his anal nighttime nut habit, or the vast and unscrupulous expansion of the surveillance state and drone warfare, take your pick—we are now about to enter at least a few years of President Trump, who exhibits, shall we say, questionable tendencies for a commander-in-chief. Even outside of his Nuremburg-style rallies and tiny hands.
For example: "I would rarely leave the White House," Trump told The Hill in June 2015. At the time it seemed like a negligible line, because, obviously, the thought of him entering the White House to begin with was…well.
Anyway, it bears a look back on now, particularly in light of his recent and historic agoraphobic behavior. The president-elect rarely leaves Trump Tower or Mar-a-Lago, and during times of crisis he holes himself up in his office and surrounds himself with yes men.
See also: Trump's germophobia—he once described shaking hands as "barbaric"—which he tried to use as a reason why he would not have had two Russian prostitutes pee on a bed. Also his rumored dependency on "cheap speed," which, given the man that he parades around as his doctor, seems all but guaranteed? And then there's his weird burger order ($36 and well-done), and, of course, his Nazi fetishism.
