And we thought Nixon was tawdry
So did Trump give a doorman hush money to cover up Sexual Relations with a housekeeper?
Maybe.
Donald Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records on Tuesday. Trump became the first former president ever to be indicted, for his role in disbursing hush-money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. And what else was among those payments? A $30,000 payment to a former Trump Tower doorman for their silence about a potential Trump child out of wedlock.
It’s all so dignified, so impressive, so to the credit of all of us.
“In one instance, American Media Inc. (‘AMI’), paid $30,000 to a former Trump Tower doorman, who claimed to have a story about a child TRUMP had out of wedlock,” the Manhattan district attorney’s office announced Tuesday, referring to the company that owned The National Enquirer at the time.
That poor kid, if there is such a kid. Imagine being a child of Trump’s. Really: imagine it.
“During the election, TRUMP and others employed a ‘catch and kill’ scheme to identify, purchase, and bury negative information about him and boost his electoral prospects,” the district attorney’s office noted. “TRUMP then went to great lengths to hide this conduct, causing dozens of false entries in business records to conceal criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws.”
Classy classy classy. From the gilded living room to the catch and kill scheme to the phony business records, it’s just classy all the way. Cary Grant looks like a bucket of slops in comparison.
I think if I were a child of Trump’s I’d prefer that he not recognize me.
WaM, I’d be trying to divorce my parent.
Jeezus, the stuff that was public knowledge was bad enough. Just one or two of the items known by everyone (and an item or two from his own mouth during the campaign) should have been enough to sink his electoral prospects, permanently.
