Yes, that's what I meant. Lol. Freudian slip. Natural mistake with Trump, the very definition of NPD. That is certainly one group of which he is eminently qualified to be president.

Regardless of what was said in the book, Trump made matters so, so much worse with his "I'm like, really smart. I'm a stable genius" Anyone with an IQ over 50 would have thought better of it, and kept his fat, stubby fingers off the keyboard. That made him look really bad. Following article is interesting...explains how books author got such easy open access to Trumps administration , the White House and interviews of principals of this Administration... For me, it shows how amateurish the whole beginning of this administration was...possible because of the principals feeling of doing things his way..be different then the past swamp members.. [professionals who have the experiences. Actually looked down at by the new guys on the block...IMHO of course].. ---------------------------------------- www.yahoo.com/finance/news/author-wolff-got-trump-white-090000075.html------------------------------------------------ click on link above to read complete article------------------------------------------------ How Author Wolff Got Into Trump’s White House for Tell-All Book Jennifer Jacobs BloombergJanuary 17, 2018 AuthorMichael Wolff’s pitch to the White House to win cooperation for his book included a working title that signaled a sympathetic view, a counter-narrative to a slew of negative news stories early in Donald Trump’s presidency. He called it “The Great Transition: The First 100 Days of the Trump Administration.” And in part due to that title, Wolff was able to exploit an inexperienced White House staff who mistakenly believed they could shape the book to the president’s liking. Nearly everyone who spoke with Wolff thought someone else in the White House had approved their participation. And it appears that not a single person in a position of authority to halt cooperation with the book -- including Trump himself -- raised any red flags, despite Wolff’s well documented history. His previous work included a critical book on Trump confidant Rupert Murdoch, theTwenty-First Century Fox Inc. co-chairman."

Hmmm. Worth looking into. Possible Stormy times ahead. Steve Bannon suggests Trump's lawyer 'took care' of 'a hundred' women during the presidential campaign
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon alleged that one of President Donald Trump's attorneys "took care" of 100 women during the presidential campaign. Bannon made this claim in journalist Michael Wolff's recently published tell-all book about the Trump White House. The comment may take on new significance after The Wall Street Journal reported that another Trump attorney paid a porn star $130,000 to prevent her from discussing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump. Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former top strategist, alleged in journalist Michael Wolff's tell-all book about the Trump White House that the president's longtime attorney, Marc Kasowitz, "took care" of 100 women during the presidential campaign. "Look, Kasowitz has known [Trump] for twenty-five years. Kasowitz has gotten him out of all kinds of jams," Bannon reportedly said. "Kasowitz on the campaign - what did we have, a hundred women? Kasowitz took care of all of them." This apparently off-hand remark may take on new significance after The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that another lawyer for the president, Michael Cohen, sent $130,000 to a porn star just weeks before the 2016 presidential election to keep her silent about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump. Complete article here: Steve Bannon suggests Trump's lawyer 'took care' of 'a hundred' women during the presidential campaignThe ONLY thing that argues against these multiple payoffs is that it would be so out of character for Trump to actually PAY his contractors instead o f stiffing them (make up your own joke here). I suppose though that if the lawyers were the ones who actually paid then it falls right in line for others to have to clean up his messes. Sorry, but I just don't think that member is fully functional and he's squishing, not stiffing.

There's an article on slate by a guy who talked to this woman (actually, Stormy Daniels is her stage name, not her legal name, so I'm not sure that statement you posted is legally valid) prior to the 2016 election. She told him she was trying to do a financial agreement with Donald so she could get 'something out of the experience" but that he had been dragging his feet and she suspected he was going to continue to drag them until after the election, when it would no longer matter if she spilled the beans. So she was negotiating with different media outlets (including Good Morning America and Slate) to tell her side of the story, but she wanted money in return. To verify her story, the Slate writer contacted several of her friends, who confirmed she did indeed have an affair with Trump right after Melania had their son. Then suddenly a month prior to the election Stormy stopped taking calls and emails. I suspect she was only 'shopping' her story around to get Trump to hurry up and pay her off. Her friends continue to collaborate her story, though, including that Stormy called one of them to try to get her to come over to join their 'party.'
I know Trump's a germaphobe but he's also considered himself a playboy even way back when he was in military school and has a well documented trail of girlfriends and mistresses during all three of his marriages. Not too much of a stretch to see him having an affair with a porn star.
Not that it matters. I told my husband when this story first came out that everyone already knew he screwed around, this won't make a difference one way or another if one of the women he had sex with was a porn star. His base doesn't care and the rest of us are past caring.
Dumb question, but why would I care who anyone has sex with? That is between spouses and no one else. And this has nothing to do with Republican/Democrat. I felt the same way when people went after Clinton. While I wouldn't want to be married to Clinton or Trump, the fact that they screwed around on their wives has zero to do with their ability to lead this country.

While I wouldn't want to be married to Clinton or Trump, the fact that they screwed around on their wives has zero to do with their ability to lead this country. I don't care who Trump had sex with. The fact that he's been married three times and had sex with many other women between marriages and during marriages is a pretty open secret, and filled up plenty of tabloids back when he was just a real estate guy.
What makes this more of an issue to me is that he was paying off a mistress for a ten year old affair in the months leading up to the 2016 election, at a time when he was trying to pass himself as a happily married man who didn't cheat on his wife in order to appeal to evangelical Christian voters. According to the Fire and Fury book, he may have been also paying off 'hundreds' of other ex-mistress through his lawyer in the lead up to the election.
If I were an evangelical, I think this would seem like a very cynical ploy on Trump's part, but as I stated above, I don't think this will actually matter to most of his evangelical supporters, if they haven't gotten offended to this point.
Apparently this particular mistress did share her story with some magazine back in 2011 and that magazine is preparing to publish the report, which will include 'specific details' of the Donald's sexual performance - defiantly will NOT be reading that. Way more than I want to know!
