'Stormy Will Eat You Alive': How a Porn Star is Making Trump World's Lives Hell

[DonViejo]

In public and on his Twitter feed, President Trump has kept mum about L’affaire Stormy. Behind the scenes, he’s spooked.

As the 2016 presidential campaign entered its homestretch, Donald Trump and his team were drowning in the fallout of the infamous “grab ’em by the pussy” tape and the torrent of sexual assault and harassment allegations that were subsequently made against the future president.

“It was like walking through a minefield every day [in that last month],” a former Trump campaign adviser recalled to The Daily Beast.

But in that final month on the trail, there was something else weighing on Trump’s mind, even more than the assault allegations. According to three top campaign officials, speaking to The Daily Beast on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations, Trump began pressing senior staffers about the specific dates that the women were alleging that the assaults, affairs, or harassment took place.

If the date fell within the time period of the early stage of his marriage to Melania Trump—and the birth of their son Barron—Trump would suddenly care more about the story and quiz campaign aides more closely about it. Officials concluded that Trump’s true concern was not so much being accused of sexual harassment as it was, in the words of one aide, about “pissing off Melania.”

One of these accounts of a consensual relationship that drew Trump’s intensified interest was published at the website The Smoking Gun under the title, “Donald Trump And The Porn Superstar.” The piece reported on Trump’s alleged “sexual affair” with Stephanie Clifford, an adult-film actress known by her stage name, “Stormy Daniels.” Such an affair would have taken place not only while Donald and Melania Trump were newlyweds, but soon after Barron was born.

2. All I can say is,

3. She will be sued into bankruptcy by people with permanant eye damage or P.T.S.D.

4. Tomorrow morning, Trump's tweets should be epic

After Ms. Daniels' interview is aired, I suspect there will be several new allegations in the air and Trump will have to start one of his hissy-fits, screaming that everyone else is lying and only he is telling the truth.

Personally, I don't care about Trump's sex life, or anyone else's for that matter. But I do love the nature of this public fight because it exposes so many of Trump's shortcomings, (that pun was intended!).

There is a delicious irony in the tale if Ms. Daniels causes Trump the greatest damage so far. A porn actress takes down the blowhard! If she has some irrefutable evidence, it will be wonderful. Unfortunately, I'll be seeing a Broadway show when the interview airs so I'll have to catch up when we get home later tonight.

As far as his marriage to Melania is concerned, I only care that this story creates stress for Trump. I want him to feel the pressure from every angle. That's what will cause him to fall.

5. Melania surely knew about this a long time ago.

These people aren't fooling me.
