Donald Trump’s favorite TV show, Fox and Friends, has a reputation for giving airtime to conspiracy theories that benefit the White House agenda. But host Pete Hegseth may now have managed to upset the famously germaphobic president – by revealing that he has not washed his hands in a decade.

The admission came as Hegseth discussed eating day-old pizza that had not been refrigerated. He did not see any issue with eating the pizza, he said, then added that he didn’t think he had washed his hands in 10 years.

“Really,” he said. “I don’t really wash my hands ever.”

Met with laughter, he explained: “I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore they’re not real.”

Obvious troll is obvious.

Well if you have a bidet you don't have to wash your hands according to some people here.

@volsung: lol that was a weird one.

I believe him when he says he doesn't wash his hands.

"Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore they’re not real.”"

I also believe this was intended as a joke.

You'd hope it was a joke... wouldn't surprise me nowadays if he was serious though.

Too bad CNN doesn't lighten up a bit. They make a mountain out of a mole hole over everything.

Disgusting.

After going to the loo?

Read that story the other day.. Doesn't make much sense at all.

He was clearly joking

If it's not a joke, it's hideously. I hope he was joking.

@killjepetto: You're disturbing. You're not welcome to come to my house.

Probably hasn't told the truth in 10 years, so I guess his hands are in fact pretty clean.

I really hope that was just peanut butter on his hands...
