Paying off porn stars by illegal methods in order to influence an election*
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.
Yes, that is how laws are supposed to work.

I disagree. And it’s even worse than you suggest I think….
I’m pretty sure what he means, is that in his mind- he truly did nothing wrong. Like, he completely believes he is innocent. He thinks he is a victim of bias and targeted attacks.
And so what he’s saying, is that the “evil” democrats will find you guilty of shit you didn’t do if you challenge them politically.
It’s horseshit- but I’m pretty sure this is what he’s trying to get at.

Oh, he’s definitely evil. As evil as it gets. That’s what I’m saying. He thinks he is allowed to do the things he’s done because he’s some conservative equivalent of our all-powerful king. He believes he is above the law. Not innocent… but exempt.
And therefore, if his sworn enemy- what we call “law and order,” can come after him- then in his mind- no one is safe.
To take a side route and just say that I agree that Bush deserves the hatred for his actions and decisions but I think the evil moniker should be place on the chest of Cheney and Rumsfeld. Bush was just a weak President that allowed those two to call the shots.
He’s sad that he isn’t as high on the ladder as he thought

Paying off pornstars is fine. You just can’t falsify business records for it.
Former President Donald Trump has a dire warning for any American citizen who paid off a porn star with whom he or she had an extramarital affair and paid off as part of an NDA to keep it out of the news and failed to legally account for it during a bid for President appropriately: if HE can be found guilty for that, so can you!
Pornstars are legitimate entertainers that bring at least something positive to the society. Unlike Donald Trump.
Yeah that’s what he’s warning us about, it can happen to anyone!
I’ll remember this if I ever find myself in the position to cheat on my pregnant wife with a pornstar and then run for president.
I’m afraid you’re already behind the curve if you weren’t born to an obscenely wealthy father.
No, I think he means that even if you don’t run for president, it might affect you if you’ve cheated on your pregnant wife with a pornstar.
That alone sadly is not even the issue. Only when stealing from the government comes in, you can expect to actually get prosecuted.
Trying to pawn off the expenses on your company balance and committing tax fraud, then paying off people to not tell about your tax fraud, that’s what gets you.
Sounds just about right
that’s the whole point you stupid traitor cunt
The irony in all of this is that if he had just paid her out of his own pocket it wouldn’t have been an issue. Like they say the cover up is worse than the crime or noncrime in this case. Also ironic is he didn’t have to cover it up as the evangelicals don’t seem to care he cheated on his wife with a porn star. A perfect example of why we don’t need morality police telling us how to live
Reminds me of a certain Mr. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” Nobody gave a fuck that he did it; they were upset he hid it.

He was elected to lead not to read. Oh wait that was the other shithead.
I have a good relationship with my porn star.

Just pump the devil out of her
At least you don’t have to feel icky that you’re not the type of person who likes that they jerked off to someone like that. Either because they support her or because they like dehumanizing/humiliating women aspect. That’s also icky. (Latter because it isn’t consensual and so less a kink & just bad)

She wouldn’t actually be humiliated. But some get off on the idea that they are “dominating” a woman, putting them in her place, and it is especially rewarding if they ‘hate her guts and get off on her anyway’ and ‘totally use her’ for the object that they see her as. Even to the point where finding out after the fact may make them excited instead of turned off. Some men will be attracted to women because they hate them
Basically my point originally was just a jokey comfort. But I’m a couple hours into enjoying my Friday now and am not sure if I explained myself so badly or you’re that good you don’t even know how … icky people can be and get off on it.
Sorry if that was way too serious, too confusing, or if I totally missed your point or tone etc.

I don’t know mine yet, but I sure hope it’ll be a woman.
Absolutely chilling. Who would want to be held accountable for their actions?
Not a giant pig man baby hybrid.
I was trying to figure out of you meant pig man, or man baby for too long. Then I realized that was the hybrid.
GOOD. We’re on the same page then. The rules apply to everyone like it should be.
Really?
Most Americans have access to campaign funds they can misuse?
Damn tired of the press making this a porn star thing and not a campaign fund thing.
If you were wrong they might call her Stephanie Clifford instead of her stage name.

The rich absolutely want to codify that they have a set of rules “worthy of their position” and the corporate media is being forced to tow that line.
Falsification of business records is apparently a “trivial matter” to a certain kind of person with government contracts.
Let him be next.
Fuck yeah, sing it!
(Also fwiw it is toe the line, like in sports is the reference. It also is an extremely easy typo to make that autocorrect won’t recognize!)
Its more like if you pay a porn star and file it as company expenses at your work
Yeah then anyone should be prosecuted
Shit… I need change my plans about using campaign donations to pay off that porn star I banged at the golf course I own.
*raped
I know, a problem that faces every single American, right?
Family Values… yeah, Trump values his families genitals. Look at his “relationship” with his daughter throughout the years.
Unless you’re running for president, you’re probably safe, too.
Even if.
I want to pay off porn stars :(
If you’re going to fantasize go big!
Tell yourself that they want to pay you!!
What about cocacolasized?
Back to the drawing board, Wilbur…
Me too! I need a porn star in my life but my wife won’t allow it! Why! Why!
