How a Real Man Would React
And how Donald Trump hasn’t
To the common man or woman — and especially those who would vote for Trump — the mislabeled “hush money case” has caught their attention because the ex-president stands accused of bedding a porn star while his wife was pregnant with his son Barron.
All that muck-a-muck about campaign finance laws matters not to them. It just feels like politics as usual with one side trying to get the upper hand on the other just as Trump did with Cohen and Pecker plotting to plant fake salacious stories about Trump’s political opponents in that venerable publication The National Enquirer.
I understand the political play for what it is. Both ways. It’s dirty and nasty. Nothing new there. But why I really don’t like Donald Trump has less to do with his political maneuvering and more to do with how he’s reacted with his hand in the cookie jar.
Stormy says they had sex while Trump denies it. It’s a “he says/she says” situation I find ridiculous. I wouldn’t bet two cents versus a million bucks that Trump is the one telling the truth and Stormy has made up all this drama just to become rich and infamous. I’m going to assume for the sake of argument in this editorial that Trump had sex with Stormy.
