DJT was using extramarital affairs as part of his campaign in 2016 AGAINST the Clintons.

I have not seen this covered recently, but one of the reasons WHY Trump would make these hush $ payments is that Trump had made women who had accused Bill Clinton of inappropriate sexual behavior a major point to use against Hillary in the 2016 election.

Trump held a press conference with several of these women just before a debate with Hillary, and this was televised. This I believe was before the Access Hollywood tape.

Trump's own additional indiscretions becoming public makes him an even bigger hypocrite than just the Access Hollywood tape did.

But covering his cheating with a porn star, playboy bunny and worker in his own building was absolutely a part of his own campaign strategy and to help his own campaign.

Here is a link to this press conference.




Another point I think is that Trump had One encounter with Stormy. But in interviews he saw Karen McDougal 5 times a month for 10 months - 50 times. And the third story was he had an out of wedlock baby with a woman who worked for him in his building. All three are major data points in the campaign itself. (I still find it hard to believe MAGA overlooks all of this...)

Everyone should get a chance to see the whole thing all over again. It should be played at his trial!
