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).
Does anyone remember that Bill Clinton got impeached for a fucking blow job in the oval office and lying about it on national television?
Yet we elect a president with multiple scandals, including paying a porn star hush, money for an affair while he was married. The hypocrisy in this country is ridiculous.
He didn’t lie about it. He was very, very careful to make them define all their terms and then answered truthfully based on their exact definitions.
He “did not have sexual relations with that woman” because he made them define what counted as sexual relations, and by their own definition a blowjob did not.
That’s a lie. Let’s not bullshit ourselves. Clinton got away with it because people have affairs. Especially people in power. He wasn’t smart about it. He just said what was believable.
I don’t think he is even in the same hemisphere as Trump in terms of lying. But this was definitely a lie. I do think that the Republicans at the time were out to get him and it didn’t matter. But that’s completely different than Trump. That fucker lies worse than a rug.
Nobody believes that he didn’t have an affair with her. But he wasn’t being impeached for having an affair, he was being impeached for lying under oath. Which he very carefully did not do.
I’m not from your country, and Trump is a nightmare sub-human that needs to be put away, but it wasn’t just a blow job and lying about it on tv.
-He (age 49) was her(age 21) boss; there is a level of coercion and power imbalance
-He lied under oath, it wasn’t just on tv.
It’s never been about morals. It’s about wielding power over others at any cost.
To this day I still think that doesn’t count as “sexual relations”. If one of my friends told me they had sex with someone and that’s all they did, I’d call them a liar.
Clinton was a lawyer. He knew to ask for a specific definition and use it against them later.
You are able to see hypocrisy because you value truth and integrity.
A Repub values only white supremacist hierarchy, so the idea that they would condemn both or condemn neither is incomprehensible.
