Trump also assured Daniels that he and Melania didn’t “even sleep in the same room," she testified
After meeting the future president of the United States at a golf tournament in 2006, adult film star Stormy Daniels testified Tuesday that Donald Trump’s personal bodyguard asked if she would like to have dinner with the once-and-future Republican nominee.
“No, with an expletive in front,” Daniels said she told the aide in response, per NBC News. But she reconsidered after meeting with her publicist, she said, recalling their words: “If nothing else, you’ll get a great story” and “what’s the worst that could happen?”
But, according to Daniels, dinner never happened. When she got to Trump’s hotel room, she found him in pajamas – he later changed – and eager to discuss her work in the adult film industry, where she had risen from performer to director, and whether she had ever contracted and STD (“I’ve never tested positive for anything,” Daniels said).
Man, this guy’s so disgusting I’m at the point where I pretty much assume anyone supporting him is just as disgusting as him now.
This kind of fritzl-esque stuff should have turned away anyone remotely reasonable by this point.
I’ve reposted this story a million times.
Right after the 2016 election, the NY Times had a panel with the creators of all the top political TV series. West Wing; House of Cards: Scandal, any you could name.
All the writers and producers said the same thing; if they’d had a fictional character say that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the TV networks and advertisers would demand that the character be shown getting hate from all Americans.
The media reported all the horrible things Trump said in 2016 and people still voted for the pig.
It was so outlandish that many of these folks opted to believe the media was slandering him over him just being that scummy of a person.
The character-assassination on “The Media” (granted some of that was self-inflicted) was really successful, allowing anyone to follow whatever narrative they desired without shame.
Another story that I’ve been forced to repeat.
Conservative woman goes on ‘The View’ TV show to defend Donnie after the pussy grabber tape comes out.
One of the women on the panel keeps saying ‘pussy’ over and over. Finally the Conservative woman asks the other lady to stop using that vulgar language.
There was a time when some of the Libertarian-minded conservatives said Trump was going to legalize weed. I think these two instances have an important relation: they are examples where conservatives of different types are superimposing their own beliefs onto Trump. He thus becomes the “perfect” candidate in their mind; the one who directly aligns with them in every way. This belief is very durable, able to withstand any facts that come from objective reality.
I’m sure at some point Trump actually came out in favor of legal weed, exactly the same way he said he was for strong ‘Red Flag’ laws. He’s a child who will say anything
Can I sign up for Trump facts with Dagwood?
Lifelong NYC resident. I was watching Trump since the days when Ivana was the star of the show and Donnie was the stooge who carried her handbag.
There was a local satire magazine called ‘Spy.’ They loved to skewer the pompous, and Trump was always an easy target. They once described him as a ‘short fingered vulgarian,’ which is where the jokes about his tiny hands started.
imho this article shows Donnie at his absolute finest. When handed a golden opportunity to get in good with the Manhattan elites Donnie let his greed, arrogance, and stupidity make him hated by the people he wanted to love him.
Bonus guest appearance by John Barron.
he’ll let them hurt who they want to hurt and that’s all they care about
He also hurts them, but they are too stupid to realize that.
Another another story I’ve repeated many times.
Trump had an ongoing lottery where the winners would get to dine in the White House with Trump and Melania. Ran for years and never had a single winner.
As low as I hold his voters, Trump despises them more.
As long as it harms other groups more than at harms them, they love being owned and obedient to corporations.
I had watched Veep before that election and also thought the same thing. Even a very satirical comedy could never get away with even 1 Trumpism.
People hold fictional media to a higher standard than reality.
The problem with fiction, it has to be plausible. That’s not true with non-fiction. — Tom Wolfe
To be fair that makes sense. Fictional reality can be anything and has to be good. Reality just happens and you have to accept it sometimes.
Or, as I have pointed out, in the "President Luthor’ comics, super villain Lex Luthor was objectively a better leader than Trump. Brought in people from both parties; put all his assets in a blind trust; disclosed all his financial records.
Creepy fucker was president, WTF is wrong with this country?
There are tons of creepy fuckers that love Trump because he’s a creepy fucker.
They just happen to live in key electoral college states.
It’s because he’s their creepy fucker.
If Jesus came down from heaven and ran as a Democrat, these people would all still vote Trump.
Do not underestimate the power of tribal instincts in social primates.
This is great point. If Trump was a Democrat they’d be fuming and calling him a godless, revolting, piece of shit.
Welcome to the past decade where politics is football
They wouldn’t care, because he would have been laughed out of the running if he had tried. Like Bloomberg.
Does anyone remember that Bill Clinton got impeached for a fucking blow job in the oval office and lying about it on national television?
Yet we elect a president with multiple scandals, including paying a porn star hush, money for an affair while he was married. The hypocrisy in this country is ridiculous.
Does anyone remember that Bill Clinton got impeached for a fucking blow job in the oval office and lying about it on national television?
He didn’t lie about it. He was very, very careful to make them define all their terms and then answered truthfully based on their exact definitions.
He “did not have sexual relations with that woman” because he made them define what counted as sexual relations, and by their own definition a blowjob did not.
That’s a lie. Let’s not bullshit ourselves. Clinton got away with it because people have affairs. Especially people in power. He wasn’t smart about it. He just said what was believable.
I don’t think he is even in the same hemisphere as Trump in terms of lying. But this was definitely a lie. I do think that the Republicans at the time were out to get him and it didn’t matter. But that’s completely different than Trump. That fucker lies worse than a rug.
Nobody believes that he didn’t have an affair with her. But he wasn’t being impeached for having an affair, he was being impeached for lying under oath. Which he very carefully did not do.
You are able to see hypocrisy because you value truth and integrity.
A Repub values only white supremacist hierarchy, so the idea that they would condemn both or condemn neither is incomprehensible.
It’s never been about morals. It’s about wielding power over others at any cost.
I’m not from your country, and Trump is a nightmare sub-human that needs to be put away, but it wasn’t just a blow job and lying about it on tv.
-He (age 49) was her(age 21) boss; there is a level of coercion and power imbalance
-He lied under oath, it wasn’t just on tv.To this day I still think that doesn’t count as “sexual relations”. If one of my friends told me they had sex with someone and that’s all they did, I’d call them a liar.
Clinton was a lawyer. He knew to ask for a specific definition and use it against them later.
I also remember the absurdity of that case giving him a sympathetic reputation. Like, even people that hated Clinton saw it was crazy to impeach him over something so… intimate. I am worried that puting so much focus on sexually shaming TFG and ignoring the actual crime commited is gonna work out badly. Dude used campaign contributions to settle a personal matter, but har har mushroom-dick.
I mean it’s not even in the top 100 reasons why he should not have people vote for him
Exactly. If he’s kept out of the white house for a 2nd term because the biggest crime he’s committed is fucking a pornstar, our justice system is a failure.
It’s not a crime to fuck them or to pay them to be silent about it.
He’s on trial for fraud with where he got the money from which is funny.
If the ‘billionaire’ paid for it out of pocket I don’t think anything that happened would be illegal.
It’s basically that he lied about what the payment was for. If he had filed it as something more accurate, there’d have been no problem.
But he said it was for “retainer fees”, and that’s a misdemeanor.
It was to conceal campaign finance violations; which as it’s another crime, makes it a felony.
Who are you voting for?
Not OP, but personally? Definitely not the felon who lied about paying a pornstar for sex because she reminds him of his daughter.
But this case isn’t a factor in that decision.
If he’s kept out of office for a second term, I’ll consider that a win and keep on trying for the next one. Almost everything after achieving that one goal can be done after it is achieved, but if he does get a second term then virtually everything imaginable will be getting worse for the foreseeable future.

Republicans.
Democrats aren’t putting forth any great candidates either but at least they’re not scraping the bottom of the humanity barrel for the worst piece of shits possible like republicans have been doing as of late.

Lots of very stupid people
It’s specifically racist people. Yes that is a subgenre of stupid. But I think it is important to note they are both dimwitted and want to watch other people suffer.
He’s the leader of a cult. Trump infected an army to do his bidding.
Infected with… brain worms?
Ha!
I wouldn’t want to sleep in the same zipcode as that choad.
I fear whatever coke induced madness that would come from Freud if he exposed to Trump.
[off topic]
Look up “The 7% Solution.” Novel and movie about Sigmund Freud’s efforts to help Sherlock Holmes overcome his cocaine addiction
I really feel Melania gets a big payout if trump is proven to have cheated on her in court. He only seems concerned in denying the affair, not the actual matter at hand. Maybe this breaks her prenup, and she can divorce him now.
By the way, of you ever get offered a deal where you get a fortune if trump is proven to do something stupid in court, you sign that thing.
I don’t think Melania cares. If she did. she would have sued him long ago. She got what she wanted out of Trump in other ways and is still getting it.
He only seems concerned in denying the affair,
Because of politics, he wants people to believe it’s about that
Exactly. My concern is the lurid and sexual details will only serve to undermine the seriousness of the law he broke. As long as these gross but legal details are making headlines, the less coverage his actual crime gets, which his team will gladly accept.
Trump was married twice before and has long been rumored to have had many affairs. Melania knew what she was getting into and didn’t care because of money. And as dumb as Trump is, I’m sure even he is smart enough to realize that his prenup should protect his ability to keep on with his sexual misconduct.
I don’t like to judge other people’s actions but after all of the warning signs:
“Have you had an STD?” Spanking with the magazine after she insults him “You look like my daughter”
Why did she sleep with him? I hope she got paid. If it was just on the advice of her publicist I hope she fucking fired them.
Well . . . yeah, she got paid. That’s what the trial is about.
I thought the trial is about her getting paid not to talk about sleeping with him, not if she got paid to sleep with him.
Technically it’s about how she was paid, not about the keeping quiet.
It’s legal to pay someone to do something and pay them to not talk about it. NDAs are already a thing. You’re just not allowed to pay for it with campaign funds, it’s expected to come out of your own pocket
Now you’re just splitting hairs. She received 6 figures…and 3 inches
He fucked her twice?
No, it was one time consisting of two pumps.
I guess you round up.
There’s a tradeoff between precision and conciseness. Outside of a mathemadickal context, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s 2.72 or 3.14 inches.
Obligatory XKCD about coordinate precision
(You probably knew this, I just wanted to tack on a joke)
She did get paid, that’s what the whole trial is about.
Actually, no, it’s not. It’s not illegal to pay someone to keep quiet. It is illegal to use campaign funds and lie about where that money is going. That’s what this trial is about.
He said he’d get her on the apprentice, but seems he lied about that.
No way. He lied, just to get what he wanted short term? 🙄
Check out her interview on Jimmy Kimmel. Apparently he’s got a stumpy mushroom.
She’s also mentioned that if it wasn’t true, he totally would have called a press conference and dropped his pants to prove it. I can’t dispute that logic.
Was that the one with the comparison to toad from the Mario games?
I guess it got mangled after passing through all the social media platforms at the time. Man they tore into him in that episode though. I almost feel bad but then remember who it is about.
holy shit that’s absolutely glorious
Honestly surprised his lawyers didn’t shut down most of the parts of her testimony that are getting the most media coverage. Stuff like him saying she reminded him of his daughter, him not using a condom, etc are embarrassing for Trump and hopefully cost him votes but are mostly not related to what he was actually charged with.
It’s not a big deal, he went on television to say he wanted to have sex with his daughter
Sadly I think most trump supporters are in it for the long haul at this point.
Anyone who is still a trump supporter is either too deluded to believe anything negative about him, or just doesn’t give a shit.
It’s a trial, not an election. Whether or not you support him and whether or not he’s guilty of falsifying business records are two different questions.
I’m referring to whether or not this will cost him votes.
He also repeatedly asked her to call him daddy for the whole minute of it.
This lady is actually pretty classy
Tbh, politicians like this are a liability for national security. Why do so many in policing circles (fbi etc.) support this kind of person? Their stated motivations are completely at odds with actions, it’s mind boggling.

B’cos deeply held personal prejudices will always come first. When they see Trump, or any other scumbag politician, has the same prejudices as them, they see a kindred spirit.
It’s because their stated motivations are different than their actual motivations.
I wonder how his wife feels about all of this. I get that money takes care of things like that but since he’s a broke bitch, how long until she leaves his ass?
Cheating on your pregnant wife, while paying for sex, with a porn star, while pretending you’re having sex with your daughter… And then selling bibles.
“Christianity” huh?
He’s an “imperfect vessel”, but God uses imperfect vessels. That’s what I’ve heard from Christian Trump supporters.
And it’s hard to argue with. He’s done a lot for them. He got Roe v. Wade overturned!
Sweet home Alabama
“good christian” - mouth-breathers
She’ll make bank off the book deal.

Maybe if Ivanka got implants.
“At one point, Daniels said Trump compared her to Ivanka. “You remind me of my daughter,” Trump said, according to Daniels, an apparent reference to them both being blonde, intelligent and underestimated”
Let’s all thank a God who may or may not exist that The Orange One didn’t utter these words whilst he and Stormy were re-creating Gallo and Seveigny’s more raunchy scenes in The Brown Bunny
Remember that there are photos of him with Jeffery Epstein on numerous occasions.

Yeah… I’ve seen several of those already. Trump is no doubt hardly the only celebrity to have hobnobbed with Jeff on a regular basis
How many of them have said shit like this about Jeff?
“He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
Probably quite a few. Same way almost everyone In Hollywood was Weinstein’s BFF, until the truth could no longer be concealed
