- In a 2007 interview, Trump relayed a strange story about watching a Britney Spears concert a few years earlier. Back then, Trump approved of the pop star's looks ("that was when she was saying she was a virgin . . . and she was so cute"), so much so that he put aside his much-discussed germaphobia. Trump recalled watching her show from the fourth row at his Taj Mahal casino. "She was sweating and looked beautiful and she threw her hat, right? Now normally if a performer throws a hat and it's sweaty and wet and everything, I'd have no interest in it. But I grabbed that sucker," he says. "She was so cute and wholesome and nice, I wasn't even afraid of those germs. Today, if she threw it, I'd say 'get that sucker out of here.' "
