Panicky Trump calling friends to gauge how Stormy Daniels’ 60 Minutes bombshells will hurt his poll numbers: report

According to a report in the Washington Post, Donald Trump is worried about what will come out about him in a 60 Minutes interview with adult film star Stormy Daniels on Sunday night, with the ratings and poll-obsessed president fearing his already shaky poll numbers could collapse even further.

With the lawyer for the porn star touting possible photos or video on a DVD that he has promoted on Twitter — the president has reportedly been complaining all week about the media coverage the actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has been receiving.

Trump has particularly taken notice of Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, who has been a continuous presence on cable news talk shows.

According to the report, Trump has been on the phones with friends and outside advisers attempting to gauge how much damage he’ll take on should the woman, who claims she had an affair with him, reveal details or photos that could possibly shake his administration more than an FBI investigation into his presidential campaign.

Sources note that Trump is particularly worried about his poll numbers plummeting even further if his base abandons him.

1. What poll #'s? They are in the toilet...

[sheshe2]

13. So apparently is he.

He believes he does his best thinking there while taking a dump. Then tweeting about it.

[exboyfil]

2. The ironic thing is that if it is sex only

It won't hurt him one bit even though he supposedly has the support of the "moral" Christians.

If it had been Obama, it would have hurt him a great deal because infidelity in marriage is a sign of disrespect for your spouse. Obama supporters value that relationship - apparently Trump supporters do not.

[Blue Owl]

3. Stripper pole numbers?

n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Probably changed his diaper a half dozen times

already today.

[chuckstevens]

5. Not his wife, his young son; just his poll numbers.

The man truly has no soul!

[smirkymonkey]

11. I know. Disgusting, isn't it?

He could give a damn about anybody but himself and his image.

[ollie10]

26. Bingo!

[bdamomma]

30. tRump

only cares about himself. Not his son nor his wife, he is just a scummy POS.

That is why he didn't say anything about those Marches yesterday, he just doesn't care.

[tanyev]

6. I so hope that man has many years of jail time to obsess about his poll numbers.

Haven’t any of his ‘friends’ told him his numbers would skyrocket if he resigned?

[warmfeet]

16. Leavenworth Kansas,

where he belongs.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

23. Or work/release by picking lettuce by Fresno...

... he gets 1/3 of his time behind bars cut if he picks lettuce, vegetables and assorted fruit in California. You know, to help keep the fresh produce prices reasonable for real Americans.

[Ligyron]

7. He'll lose the respect of some fungellicals but not their vote or support.

I hope there's some juicy and embarrassing pictures.

[Xipe Totec]

8. His pole is limp nt

[stonecutter357]

9. fuck putin .

[gratuitous]

10. Trump still hasn't tweeted about this

So very curious. He's rashly sent out self-incriminating tweets, patently absurd tweets, nonsensical tweets, and tweets about practically anything you can name. But he doesn't tweet about the woman he was fucking while his wife was recovering after giving birth.

[madaboutharry]

12. It Trump is worried about whether she will reveal photos or videos

than one can conclude that photos and videos exist.

Poor Barron. He is going to need a lot of therapy.

[Freethinker65]

14. Trump only cares about himself. The interview will provide more evidence of that.

Those that support Trump like that about him. They do not care who he literally or figuratively fucks. Poll numbers will remain steady.

[global1]

15. Trump Will Be Tweeting Tomorrow Morning.....

that at least we had record ratings.

[Awsi Dooger]

17. That's the one positive development

Something like this will stall the uptick in his approval rating and maybe cause it to dip briefly.

Independents are everything. If there is polling on the Daniels stuff the only number that matters is how independents react.

[avebury]

18. The devestating part of the interview is

that Stormy and the Playboy Bunny in her interview, both talked about how Trump compared them to his daughter. It appears to verify what people joke about all the time, Trump has a really sick fetish where his daughter is concerned.

It makes you wonder if he fantasizes about having sex with Ivanka when he has sex with a young woman.

[sharedvalues]

19. Poll numbers. Base. THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. That's what brought down Nixon

Once Tricky Dick got down to 25% support, the GOP ditched him.

Same here. Trump's around 35%. Get him in the 20's, and he is DONE.

[Corgigal]

20. Is this the dumbest man in the US?

He's more worried about having sex with a woman, then what Mueller is doing? He doing a counter espionage investigation, do you have any idea those stakes? Does your family, besides Tiffany?

Holy shit, is he gonna be surprised and I hope we all live.

[machoneman]

29. Oh, I don't think he's too worried about the impact of the vids. More...

that he's distraught that if they exist, it proves a conspiracy of silence, and THAT is Mueller territory. He and Cohen w/b in serious trouble let alone the campaign finance violations which would probably be only a veritable slap on the wrist.

[yuiyoshida]

21. Think Trump will Resign?

I don't think he will.. but he is stupid that way.

[The Wizard]

22. True or false?

[zentrum]

24. Actually found her interview

….anti-climatic considering the build up. Plus it doesn't seem to have been an "affair", but a one night stand.

Wonder if Mueller can ever find the guy who threatened her.

I don't think his base will move one iota from this 60 minutes interview. They are one with him at this point. His pro-gun, white nationalism is uber all for them.

[Honeycombe8]

27. Yeah...a nothingburger.

I don't know why Mueller would look for the guy who threatened her. That's for the police, and she didn't report it. So that's that.

Even if they found out who it was, it wasn't Trump.

[Grammy23]

28. I found the interview to be rather ho hum. Nothing new to see here.

A lot of hype but not much new information. And not a word about what is on the DVD. So maybe we who watched the interview just got played? I was expecting new information, more razzle dazzle, more tid bits to make tRump squirm. It felt rather flat and anti-climactic after all the build up this week. Looks to me like tRump has nothing to fear from this interview since there were no bombshells. Even her telling about “spanking” him with the magazine seemed more like a joke than revealing some kind of kinky fetish he has.

[zentrum]

32. Yes, same impression here...

…..except for sad and demoralizing fact that we now write sentences about the President of our country being spanked by a porn star.

[Grammy23]

33. Yes. Like it is normal.

Eee gads. How far we have sunk. 👀😳👀

[Honeycombe8]

25. I don't see that hurting his poll numbers. It was basically a nothingburger, as I saw it.

There was nothing in that interview that even approached the horrendous things that we already knew about Trump and what was on the Hollywood Access tape. He had sex once w/a porn star. Yawn. So what else is new? It was unprotected sex, so that's new. There's a legal thing about the payoff, but voters don't care about things like that.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

31. Going back to the Stern/Trump intrview

Than McDougal & Daniels , the minor a while back that recanted due to fear. The golden showers pee pee tape . And McDougal/Daniels if true, Trump saying they remind him of his daughter Ivanka. There is a lot there for trump to worry about. It's never one thing.And the time frame between the McDougal/Daniels -that says a lot. The big picture is what it is all about.

[bitterross]

34. His support comes from his base that doesn't care. Doubt it will have much effect.

I can't see it tanking his already low poll numbers. The only people supporting him are the ones to whom this won't matter anyway.

[LiberalFighter]

35. I found her more believable than I expected.

And was not frivolous.
