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).
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.
She got paid to keep quiet about it much later.
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
Hotlink
(You probably knew this, I just wanted to tack on a joke)
Great XKCD!
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? 🙄
