Is there something in his past that scares the hell out of him? Does he have a food taster too?
Is he somehow tied to Russians - like most of the rest of Trump's people?

Stop and think about it. When people in leadership know they're doing wrong, they are going to be jumpy and will build walls to keep you out of their circles so you don't catch on.
It's that way whether you're dealing with co-conspirators, or racists.
