Trump Accidentally Confirms Key Stormy Daniels Detail During Weird Rally Moment


Trump Accidentally Confirms Key Stormy Daniels Detail During Weird Rally Moment

The porn star says she was paid $130,000 before the 2016 election to keep quiet about their
alleged liaisons.

“He is obsessed with sharks,” Daniels said in an interview with In Touch magazine in 2011. “Terrified of sharks. He was like, ‘I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.’”

On Thursday, Trump made very similar comments while speaking to supporters in Pennsylvania as he went off on a tangent.

“I’m not a big fan of sharks,” he said. “I have people calling me up, ‘Sir, we have a fund to save the shark, it’s called Save The Shark.’ I say ’no thank you, I have other things I can contribute to.”

Daniels was paid $130,000 just before the 2016 election to keep her allegations of an affair quiet. Trump has denied the affair, which Daniels said took place in 2006 when Trump’s third wife, Melania Trump, was caring for the couple’s infant child.

But this is okay. As soon-to-be VP Harris might say, "This is shark week, m*****f*****!"

I didn't have an affair with Donald Trump, either. Where's my $130,000, Spanky? Fair's fair.

Is there any sentient human who still believes Ms. Daniels is the liar?

I'm still baffled how so-called "Christians" can support this piece of trash.

You know what probably chaps Trump's ass the most? Ms. Daniels made a bunch of money because of her notoriety with Trump. And he didn't get a dime. I'm sure that pisses him off!

Given the criminality and corruption of Trump's presidency, is his affair with Ms. Daniels really that important?

You and I and everyone else knows he banged her. He paid her off and he lied about it.

In the big picture, is this really a top ten most important issue?]

Let's vote this idiot out then let the legal processes play out. I doubt Ms. Daniels' story will be much more than a wedge to open the doors to far more serious issues for Trump.

Just my opinion, of course.

It sounds like we need some shark pictures and imagery with his name on them or a phrase like: "I'm coming for you, Donnie!"

It would be great to have a giant, inflatable shark to go with the Trump Baby.
