Trump Falsely Claims He ‘Just Found’ New Info Exonerating Him In Stormy Daniels Affair Case

TPM Article Topics
#1

In a post on his Truth Social account on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump seemed to suggest he was going through his infamous piles of documents when he found something that cleared him in the Stormy Daniels hush money scandal. However, the document Trump claimed to have “just found” is a widely discussed statement from Daniels that has been extensively, publicly discussed for over six years.

I think what Trump’s up to is conflating the word affair with a brief sexual encounter. Danial’s admits there was no affair…she just fucked the guy…which took about 2 minutes.

So Cohen paid Stormy out of the goodness of his heart and Trump paid Cohen out of the goodness of his? Doesn’t pass the laugh test.

Daniels did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story. She is set to spend the coming weekend at the EXXXOTICA Expo in Chicago, which is billed as “the largest adult event in the USA dedicated to love and sex.”

“Meh. Let us know when they hold a parallel event for MINORS.”

Hmmm…

Being exposed as a libertine doesn’t seem to have registered with Trump’s Christian fundamentalist fans. Maybe this will do it. Raw Story is reporting:

“ Forbes listed Trump’s net worth at $4.7 billion as of Wednesday morning, making him the 666th-richest person in the world.”

I’m told that fundamentalist Christians consider the number 666 to be the mark of the devil.

If the scummy fucking lawyers who pressured Daniels were anything like my fucking divorce attorney everything they said would have sounded like, “Yeah, it’s not right but it’s easier this way.” I hear law schools offer classes in scumbaggery starting in Year 1, right after morals are surgically removed.

Yeah, as I recall from the 80s, people liked to point out that each name in “Ronald Wilson Reagan” had six letters. 666. Evangelicals only care if the beast is coming for them, no one else.

This is not new evidence and probably won’t influence the jury. Remember the crime is paying Stormy and Karen McDougal about $130,000 each to keep them quiet during the election season and then claiming it was a business expense.

I have heard that Hope Hicks is going to be witness to the decision to the “catch and kill” Daniels and McDougal scheme that also involved the National Enquirer’s David Pecker. I can’t wait for the trial. I don’t think it is going to be nearly as sexy as the press is praying.

Another all too predictable delay tactic. Should be treated as such by the judge and disposed of promptly.

Probably just lay there on top of her panting and sweating, making her feel like Giles Corey in a porn-style version of The Crucible.

That’s because the cult never criticizes the cult leader.

Except to impeach Daniels it probably can’t be considered by the jury at all.
