Fox & Friends is President Donald Trump’s favourite TV show. The president is famously a germophobe, though, so he may not have liked a revealingly gross moment on Sunday in which presenter Pete Hegseth announced, unprompted, that he had not washed his hands “in ten years”.
Explaining his grimy decision, Hegseth was pretty on-brand with the show’s cavalier attitude toward science and the scientific method: his justification was that, “Germs are not a real thing.”
“I can’t see them, therefore they’re not real,” he continued.
