Being over precautious somewhat effeminates him (in his mind) at least on the germaphobe front. Once the Pandemic started to catch fire the orange menace just figured he'd try to ignore it or better yet blame other people for it. At some point it became a way to attack opponents and critics. You're not man enough to stand up to this Pandemic, look at me I'm not afraid (until he got it then he was probably panicked).

He's F-ed up in the head. If there's anything I'd give him credit for it's being able to get this far in his life amassing enough cash flow for appearances all on bluster and bulls-t. He's a prime example why I have my doubts about a higher deity.
