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).
Man, this guy’s so disgusting I’m at the point where I pretty much assume anyone supporting him is just as disgusting as him now.
This kind of fritzl-esque stuff should have turned away anyone remotely reasonable by this point.
I’ve reposted this story a million times.
Right after the 2016 election, the NY Times had a panel with the creators of all the top political TV series. West Wing; House of Cards: Scandal, any you could name.
All the writers and producers said the same thing; if they’d had a fictional character say that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the TV networks and advertisers would demand that the character be shown getting hate from all Americans.
The media reported all the horrible things Trump said in 2016 and people still voted for the pig.
I had watched Veep before that election and also thought the same thing. Even a very satirical comedy could never get away with even 1 Trumpism.
People hold fictional media to a higher standard than reality.
The problem with fiction, it has to be plausible. That’s not true with non-fiction. — Tom Wolfe
