A half hour late. I'm feeling like just before Jeraldo and the vault. Will this be big bust?

[Stinky The Clown]

I'm thinking Big Bust. Overhyped.

[Siwsan]

1. I've already read the transcript

Not a big bust - not a massive WOW. Pretty much what I expected.

[Luciferous]

2. Yes. I read the transcript and there are no major revelations.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Listened to it since 7pm EDT on the radio

It has some embarrassing doozys in there... but it is what it is.

[dhol82]

4. No

[Stinky The Clown]

5. This is not a bust. She is totally believable.

Not because her story fits with my wish for bad news to befall Trump, but because she's just plain believable.

[JenniferJuniper]

6. That's your perception, but

there were no major revelations that will shock anyone.

Sex one time - unprotected - shortly after son was born.
He and Melania had separate bedrooms. Meh.
She reminded him of Ivanka - we already heard this one.
She says she was threatened by a thug on Donald's behalf. But she doesn't know who it was.
The rest was about the non-disclosure agreement.

I'm not sure what I believe as she has a lot to gain/lose her, but nothing here is going to shock anyone. Trump is a pig. Yep, he is.

7. It was over-hyped...but I bet a whole lot of people watched.

And while we probably go... "Oh nothing new, he cheats on pregnant wife, has sex with porn stars, compares his sexual partners to his daughter..." other people actually might be hearing the information for the first time in this context.

Specifically wingnutters.

We have to remember Trump DENIED having a relationship with her. The excuse of every Republican is that the President said it didn't happen. And we can see from her interview that it obviously did.

Since it was only one time, I'm sure she doesn't have him on video. But I bet she has text messages and other forms of evidence to prove what happened.

8. trump/cohen had someone threaten her with violence

[Jarqui]

9. Remember, the Trump team has been maintaining this never happened

1. How many people watched, heard or read the interview and now believe the affair never took place?
Even the slant of the questions indicate the media who asked them think this affair happened.

2. Internally, this is not going to play well with his wife on top of Karen McDougal's claims of being told by Trump for ten months that he loved her:

Anderson Cooper: Melania Trump had recently given birth to-- to a son, just a few months before. Did that-- did he mention his wife or child at all in this?

Stormy Daniels: I asked. And he brushed it aside, said, "Oh yeah, yeah, you know, don't worry about that. We don't even we have separate rooms and stuff."

The Donald may need to add divorce lawyers to his legal team at a time when he's having trouble adding lawyers

3. The campaign finance stuff may trigger Cohen chirping to thorw Trump under the bus to save himself because it's much worse for him if he tries to go it alone - he could be disbarred.

4. The spanking is going to fuel comedians for a while while humiliating him

5. The comments about how she wasn't attracted to him and she kind of held her nose and let him f*** her and "I thought of it as a business deal." are not flattering for him

I do not see much good for Trump coming out of this interview. Stormy Daniels is not running for office.
