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 mean it’s not even in the top 100 reasons why he should not have people vote for him

      Exactly. If he’s kept out of the white house for a 2nd term because the biggest crime he’s committed is fucking a pornstar, our justice system is a failure.

        It’s not a crime to fuck them or to pay them to be silent about it.

        He’s on trial for fraud with where he got the money from which is funny.

        If the ‘billionaire’ paid for it out of pocket I don’t think anything that happened would be illegal.

          It’s basically that he lied about what the payment was for. If he had filed it as something more accurate, there’d have been no problem.

          But he said it was for “retainer fees”, and that’s a misdemeanor.

          It was to conceal campaign finance violations; which as it’s another crime, makes it a felony.

        If he’s kept out of office for a second term, I’ll consider that a win and keep on trying for the next one. Almost everything after achieving that one goal can be done after it is achieved, but if he does get a second term then virtually everything imaginable will be getting worse for the foreseeable future.
