Adult magazine Penthouse has received three claims for its $1 million offer to anyone who could provide real tapes of President-elect Donald Trumps alleged and unproven sexual escapades at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow, the publications editor exclusively revealed to International Business Times Thursday.
Penthouse editor Raphie Aronowitz said the magazine isnt conducting a witch hunt, but wants to prove whether the allegations against Trump are true. Aronowitz said the lucrative offer falls in line with the magazines well-established brand, though to his knowledge Penthouse has never made such an exorbitant offer before.
If the story is real, which we dont know if it is or not, it really kind of hits at the intersection between politics, scandal and sex, which as a brand both historically and currently is our sweet spot, Aronowitz said in a phone interview.
For us, this was the type of story that we wanted to jump all over. But at the same time theres been so much floating around - as far as fake news stories there have been so many people who have just been taking shots at President-elect Donald Trump because hes an easy target, and we as a brand and as an informational source, we didnt want to jump on the bandwagon, Aronowitz said. We wanted to make sure this story could be verified, that the murmurings of their being actual video documentation that corroborates the allegations, do exist. For us, this was a very real ask, which is just Give us some facts, and let us share the real story with our readers and with the public.

(12,053 posts)...it will be epic beyond all description: golden boy supine on his back; fat, fucking belly quivering like Jello as he furiously tries to get a rise out of his tiny, flaccid dick; and two Rossiyskiye shlyukhami legs spread wide spraying all over him.
Just remember what has been seen cannot be unseen.

It's no wonder that he finds it disgusting to even contemplate someone's use of the bathroom. I can only imagine what Trump thinks of having to use public facilities himselfassuming he ever does. Maybe he always holds it in until he can make it back to the gold-plated lav on his plane.

Be careful- he's just manipulated you into minimizing what he admittedly does, and you're muddying the waters for him.

(18,837 posts)However, Trump has too deal with the fact that his "alleged" proclivity for water sports is being discussed daily, and that the hashtag #GoldenShowers is trending on Facebook, so if it pushes him in the direction of making a mistake he can't fix, I'll take that as a consolation prize.
Although, I shudder to think about what a mistake he can't fix might look like.

(7,410 posts)makes the story consistent with the range of behavior we'd normally expect from him.
I'd go with about a 65-75% chance that most of the dossier addendum is accurate, including Trumpy's co-operation with Russia through regular contacts DURING the campaign.

(58,440 posts)but the salacious shit is the least important part of it. Hell, there's already pics of the 1st Lady-elect naked out there.
It's the Russian ties that I want to see. Hell, I'm not even that interested in the campaign issues, though they are important. Most important to me is: How much does he owe the Russian interests in monetary terms? How deep is his debt to them? In the final analysis, I see no loyalties in Trump beyond filling his own pockets and polishing his own image.
The rest is just distraction.

(13,305 posts)Are people still really that naive? Have they not watched what has happened in this country over the past 20 years?
People elected this buffoon despite having audio tapes of him admitting that he likes to commit sexual assault.
People elected him despite having been married 3 times and an admitted adulterer.
People elected him despite multiple bankruptcies and failed business ventures.
People elected him despite (because of) racism, sexism, anti-semitism.
Republicans can do whatever they want and spin it and their idiot base will still forgive and forget and find some way to blame or deflect to something liberals did or said.
Keep the faith though. I guess someone has to.

(36,814 posts)The biggest problem Trump has is he has already created enemies on both sides of the isle, so his impeachment will remain a distinct possibility throughout his presiduncy.

NewJeffCT
(56,827 posts)Trump was able to apologize and write off the "grab em by the pussy" comment as locker room talk and not real. Now, if there was an actual video tape of having hookers piss on Obama's bed, it is a lot different. (Just like if there is an actual video tape of him grabbing a woman's crotch, it would be there for all to see...)

Take your pick or combine multiple. Any of them would work.
sammythecat
(3,568 posts)If there is a video of Donald Trump + hookers + golden showers, the consequence would be enormous. This would define him. As someone above pointed out, he would become a laughingstock, a joke, and those that weren't laughing would be appalled. I think he'd become isolated and completely ineffective. I really don't see how he could overcome something like this.

(16,952 posts)and it has nothing to do with Trump's sexual proclivities. It matters because it gives incredible credence to the entire report. He can't say it's all lies if there is proof even one thing in it is true.
hurple
(1,304 posts)This is correct.
We shouldn't care what he does in private, or what he enjoys sexually. It really means nothing in the context of how good or bad he will be at the job of being president. However, the fact that it annoys him when we make fun of it, and proves the allegations, is the reason this is important.
And, it's funny.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think there's a big difference between sex with consenting adults (even "kinky" sex) and the activities trump was involved in. The golden showers stuff might indicate arrested development as well as his desire to humiliate women. The rape stories, more than one now, reflect his extremely violent urges.
This guy is sick sick sick.
vlyons
(10,252 posts)The damage to his reputation (such as it is) is done. Just like the stories about Hillary running a child porn operation didn't have to be true to be hurtful. The story about Hillary had no previous disclosure of such a proven accusation. Everyone knows that Hillary has spent her life trying to help children and families. So there's no way I would ever believe such garbage about her.
With Trump however, we have the pussy-grab tape. So it takes little imagination or gullibility to believe that a story about him watching and/or participating in a golden showers show COULD be true. Plus we have a lot of women coming forward and accusing him of sexual assault. I for one believe that it COULD be true, because he is a thoroughly depraved criminal and liar.

(985 posts)It would be epic if graphic tapes come out, but also a shame that they didn't come out before the election, because we're in for serious problems now, either way.
cbdo2007
(9,213 posts)I'm not in advertising, but I did see one time a breakdown of how much, dollar wise, "free press" was worth and it was significant. God I wish I could remember what it was specifically...I'm in the Midwest in a mid sized city, and it was something local, like having to do with our football team I think...and them taking toys to the children's hospital or something. They added up how much time the story got on local news over a month or something, and then added up how much that would have been worth if they had paid for that as advertising and it was greater than 6 figures.

(175 posts)Call it a gut feeling - call it instinct - call it whatever you like -- I know there's dirt on Trump and Russia has it. The money that Penthouse is offering? I'm thinking it's worth more than a million and Russia knows this ( or whoever is holding the goods ). It will come out. I've felt all along that Melania would have divorced Trump within the year - then he does the impossible and wins the election. Now she's stuck. Solution? Stay in NY and only fly into DC when she needs to.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)He's probably a pervert in many ways because he's never been forced to behave himself. It's obvious he has a gigantic ego and no self discipline.
Like he says he can do anything he wants to women, including walking in on them in the dressing room because he's rich.
Vinca
(50,170 posts)The person who compiled it is well respected and would have no motive to create stories out of thin air. I'm concerned for his safety at this point because it seems someone - either Putin or Trump - is after him. He reportedly left his home in England with his children in tow and hasn't been seen. He had a successful business, a nice home and no reason to vanish unless his life is being threatened.
ThoughtCriminal
(14,010 posts)By simply selling something that appears to be authentic, and then after it becomes public, release the proof that it is fake.
Simple, Rovian trick that absolutely is guaranteed to make everybody in the media ignore everything else regarding collaboration between Trump and Russia. It won't matter how strong the evidence will be - they will assume all evidence against Trump is tainted and fake.
Worked against Dan Rather for W and I am certain it can work for Trump.
And I am almost certain that this WILL happen.
