Live from Studio 3A, here again is Asha Blake And welcome back to Later Today. The political scene has certainly gotten a lot more colorful lately, you could say, with Jesse 'The Body,' Warren Beatty, and now, Donald, the billionaire -- that's right -- threatening to enter the fray. Dateline NBC's Stone Phillips has the first public interview -- Stone Good morning, Asha. Nothing official here from Donald Trump yet. His leaning is toward the Reform Party, although he is a registered Republican. I think the question you have to ask yourself, is Donald Trump really going to live and work in a building he can't put his name on? Yes, that's a very good question. I don't know if that's possible. He's got the money, though, he's got the name recognition, and he says he's serious, but he will face one obstacle that I don't think anybody else in the campaign trail's going to face. And it has to do with a certain phobia that could be a huge political liability. Let's take a look. We talked about it in the interview. OK. [Begin Interview] You know, a run for president, you've got to shake a lot of hands. And you make no secret of the fact that you don't like to shake hands with people you don't know because you're afraid of the germs. Well, I'm not a big fan of shaking hands. And... How are you going to run for office and not press the flesh? It will change something there. Look, if I have to do it, I do it. I'm not a big fan that when I'm having dinner and I'm eating, and I'm ready to pick up a roll or something, and a guy walks out of the bathroom, he says, 'Mr. Trump, I'm a big fan of yours. Could I shake your hand?' Now, the good news is you don't eat the roll. That's the good news, OK? Which is always positive. But, no, I'm not a big fan of the handshake. I think it's barbaric. I mean, they have medical reports all the time. Shaking hands, you catch colds, you catch the flu, you catch this. You catch all sorts of things. Who knows what you don't catch? If you hit the campaign trail, will you shake hands? I will be shaking hands. Will you kiss babies? I'd kiss bab -- well, kissing babies isn't that bad. I'd much rather do that than shake hands. You're a billionaire. You live in a New York City penthouse. How can you possibly relate to the needs and concerns of everyday Americans? You seem to have nothing in common with them. I employ thousands and thousands of people. And these are the working people. And the people that like me most are the so-called construction workers, the taxi cab -- I don't know why. That's what the polls say. People tell me, they walk in with a poll. They're not my polls. There's -- they're other people's polls. There's -- and they walk in, they say, 'The working people love you, but the rich people hate you.' And it's true. Other than the rich people that know me, of course. Anything in your personal life you want to put on the table now so that nothing comes back to haunt you later? Well, I think my personal life has been an open book. I've been there for a long time. I've been out there for a long time. People know me. You've never done drugs? I've never done drugs. I've never had a cigarette. I've never had a glass of alcohol. Not a single drink? Literally never had a glass of alcohol. And I'm proud of it. But I do like beautiful women, yes. You've been divorced twice. And you admit that you enjoy the company of young, beautiful women. How's that going to play with voters in this post-Monica era? Well, I think Monica did not play. You know, they say that if Clinton had a supermodel, he would have been everybody's hero. I don't know if I agree with that. If you do make it to the White House, will there be a first lady? Well, there could be, very easy. And we will see. But that's certainly not a priority. I mean, a priority is some of the very difficult issues that we discussed today. There are plenty of issues. Any prospects on the horizon? I'd better not comment. That one could get me in trouble. Beyond anything else, that one could get me in trouble. [End of Interview] You know, Trump also told me, if he runs, he will spend whatever it takes to get the nomination for the Reform Party, of course. Twenty, 30, $ 40 million, he's ready to spend it. You know, I think if he could name it the United States of Trump, then he'd probably run. You know? He might do that. Now, I'm curious, did he shake your hand? I mean, does he really have such a big phobia? He shook my hand before and after the interview. So maybe there's hope. Who knows? Yeah. Did he kiss you on the cheek? No, just kidding. What else was I going to ask you? I think that it's fascinating -- oh, who's he dating? Well, as you'll see tonight... Come on. This is the kind of show where we talk about things like that. They all want to know. All the ladies in this audience want to know. Tune in for Dateline tonight. You get to see her in the back of a limousine. There's Donald That's long, I think, in the Donald world. Will he take her to the White House? We'll see. OK, thanks a lot, Stone. Looks like a fun interview. And, of course, you can see the rest of Stone's interview with Donald Trump, once again, tonight on Dateline NBC at 8:00
