    Such a waste of money. Remember, he has “the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s like incredible!”

    He should have just let her talk. Such a sucker.

      I think that’s probably the part that bugs him the most, well other than the idea that he’s accountable for his crimes and can be caught cuz I’m sure that bugs him more than anything else, but I mean the idea that he didn’t need to do any of this. That must eat him up inside. At the time this started he had no idea how much power he would have over his masses of morons. Now he knows that he could pay off 100 porn stars and and they wouldn’t bat an eye.

        I mean considering how close the 2016 election was, I could totally see this having affected his chances.

          I can’t, there’s not a single person that voted for him who wouldn’t have had that come out not one. The only wiggle room in that election would have been people who decided not to vote for Clinton out of outrage or protest to hold their nose and vote for her because of him. But those morons didn’t care enough about Roe versus wade, the grab them by the pussy comment, the creepy pedophile stuff, or any of the other dozen horrific things he said and did. So to think they would care enough about this? No chance.

            I don’t think this analysis is correct. This unwavering support is true of Trump supporters today, but back in the run up to the 2016 there were definitely people who voted for Trump who would have changed their mind had the “grab them by the pussy” tape been immediately followed up by a media storm surrounding more awkward sexual allegations coming from from a porn star.

            The Trump team clearly thought so - presidential campaigns are nothing if not obsessive about how optics can affect their candidates in key states, and by how much. The fact that they went to such lengths to cover it up was indicative of how impactful they feared it would be among swing voters.

        It would eat him up inside if he were capable of admitting he did something wrong. Every action he takes is the best, the most perfect action, no one could have done a better action. Every action he didn’t take, but his definition, is clearly wrong.

      Vulgarity always goes hand-in-hand with irrational, self-defeating behavior. It’s knee-jerk reaction from one minute to the next, hollow, distracted and panicky.
