    She detailed having met Trump at a golf tournament in 2006, when she was 27 years old and — as she tells it — Trump was already older than her father.

    I’m sorry to be pedantic, but wasn’t he always older than her father? Like, that’s how age works.

        Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something. Tremendous things, really. So, I tweeted something, and people are saying, “Donald, what’s going on with that tweet?” And I said, “Look, folks, it was a tremendous tweet, the best tweet, believe me.” But then, I thought, maybe it was too tremendous. Maybe it was too powerful. So, I deleted it. And people are saying, “Wow, that’s leadership.” And they’re right. Because I’m a leader, and leaders lead.

          Little bit too coherent. And he would never second guess a decision he claims he made.

          Maybe trail off in the middle of a sentence, and then mutter something about the liberals making Twitter delete it? Because everyone is in awe of how much sense he makes, and how right he is all the time.

      He wouldn’t want a repeat of the embarrassing ‘hamberder’ incident, which haunts him to this day.

    The former president seemingly remembered that violating his gag order by commenting on witnesses could land him in jail

    Oh, he remembered. He just thinks he’s playing 4D chess by tweeting then deleting because “it doesn’t count.”

      I really don’t think he can retain anything he finds boring for more then 5 minutes. He’s not playing imagery 4D chess. He really is that stupid.

    Dumbfuck has never heard the term ‘surprise witness.’ And this one wasn’t even a surprise. Of course she testified.

        I mean it’s a honest question. She takes money for sex. Sex work is honest work. I just want to know her rates.

          It isn’t, and she doesn’t. She was a a porn model and actress, not an escort or prostitute. She testified that there was no promise of compensation or payment. She said she felt intimidated due to the imbalance of power.

          The payment came into play when she said that she was going to tell about the infidelity of Trump when he announced his presidential campaign. They paid her to sign an NDA so America didn’t learn that he cheated on Melania.

            Dude you need to chill, the other guys question was legitimate. Porn stars do in fact get paid to perform on camera and anyone can also be a porn star and pay other porn stars to perform on camera. It’s all legal honest work. You’re reading into something that wasn’t said.

              You’re reading into something that wasn’t said.

              The question was how much it cost. That’s pretty clear. And that’s not about how much she earned as a porn star.

                I understood it as how much does it cost to hire her for a porn film. My brain doesn’t instantly go to thinking less of others.

      What did it cost Trump? Something like $480,000 that he funneled as part of the cover up. Not sure if you want to factor in his current legal fees as part of the cost as well. I’m sure it’s well into the multi-millions by now. You probably couldn’t afford it.

          After all the fraud hoops they jumped through to disguise the payment, Trump ended up paying Cohen $40,000 a month for a year.

            Adding to this: Because they paid Cohen back as income. So the 130k had to be increased to cover taxes. Though seems they paid because the taxes likely aren’t that high.

      Fun fact, danging something is using thread to repair holes in a garment. Thus to ‘dang Stormy’ means to close one of her holes (which could have multiple meanings)
