One of the more bizarre disclosures of Donald Trump’s deposition in the lawsuit against his company by protesters roughed up by his security team is that Trump seems to be deathly afraid of fruit.

Yes, you read that right:  fruit… like, the stuff you eat.  Or, at least, should.  Trump thinks fruit can kill you.  According to the Daily Beast, Trump testified, under oath, that he believes fruit can kill you.

Okay, that’s a little simplistic.  He’s talking about thrown fruit, not like, bits of grapefruit building up in your arteries causing a heart attack.  And Trump meant the actual fruit, not like, canned fruit.  Or a watermelon dropped from a great height.  Trump testified he thought thrown fruit like a tomato would kill you.  Or another commonly thrown fruit, the pineapple, Trump said.  As if thrown pineapples are a thing.

Asked if he would want his security personnel to get rough if they saw someone getting ready to throw a tomato at him, Trump responded:

“Well, a tomato, a pineapple, a lot of other things they throw.  Yeah, if the security saw that, I would say you have to—and it’s not just me, it’s other people in the audience get badly hurt—yeah, I think that they have to be aggressive in stopping that from happening. Because if that happens, you can be killed if that happens.”

There’s a lot more, but that passage summed up Trump’s fear of flying fruit (including tomatoes).  As Rachel Maddow said, “How do we handle this?  Did somebody throw a pineapple at him as a baby, and nothing’s been the same since?”
