When you don’t want somebody to touch you, it’s easy to joke that you don’t know where those hands have been.
In the case of Donald Trump, you do know, and that’s all the more reason to want to keep them off you.
Finnish President Sauli Niinistö’s press conference with Trump yesterday is perhaps a sign that the world’s leaders have grown weary of playing along with the circus, because there were a number of times where Niinistö’s disdain was clear for all to see.
Perhaps the most obvious was when Donnie tried to playfully touch Niinistö’s leg. Sorry, pal, but the bus is full:

As somebody pointed out on Twitter, I guess we can add the president of Finland to the list of people Trump has touched without consent.
That’s 24 women that have come forward, and the Finnish president, in case you want to keep count.
We’re going to get to the full-blown trainwreck meltdown that was the press conference in another story, but here’s a taste of how unhinged Donald was via Heavy:
When a reporter asked Trump what he could learn from Finland he said, “Well, if you get rid of Pelosi and you get rid of Shifty Schiff,” referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, who are leading the formal impeachment inquiry against him.
Trump didn’t quite finish his thoughts before repeating, “Finland is a happy country. He is a happy leader, too”.
Even when they asked him softball questions that had nothing to do with the impeachment inquiry, he just ploughed on.
There’s a reason #TrumpMeltdown is trending…
