The engineer said the first time he was assigned to put a mic on Trump, the television personality refused to shake his hand, instead turning to one of his many assistants and saying, “’Whoa, whoa, whoa, who’s this fukking monkey?’” the engineer said, adding that the comment was not racially charged.
He said that throughout their interactions, Trump refused to address him directly, instead aiming all of his comments about the engineer to his assistants.
"I'm not gonna let this fukking monkey touch me unless he washes his hands,”Trump said, according to the engineer. Trump then made one of his assistants escort the engineer to the bathroom and watch him wash his hands, before walking him back and telling Trump he washed up.
