Ex-Playboy model says she kept journal of days she met with Trump

Source: Politico



By REBECCA MORIN 03/22/2018 10:25 PM EDT

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal says she kept notes on when she met with Donald Trump during what she says was an affair, in addition to details on the relationship.

During a wide-ranging interview with CNN that aired on Thursday evening, McDougal shared her journal with the network and talked about how she discreetly kept track of the times she saw Trump.

“I either called him T or D.T., because if anybody found this I wouldn’t want to expose myself or expose him,” she said, as CNN displayed photos of her journal and highlighted where McDougal had written Trump’s initials. “I purposely kind of chicken-scratched a lot on there, because I know what I’m writing.”

“Did I see him quite a few times? Quite a bit?” she added. “Absolutely. We spent a lot of time together.”

What (ahem) they like and don't, and not just sex acts. Drink, food, discussion topics, any tabbos and more. Hey, if these 'playmates' are bangin' lots of rich, powerful and influential guys, it's hard to keep it all straight unless a journal is kept.

this one sure looks like an airhead to me. I hate to say it.

How old was she when she was doing this? How old was he--59?!

Edited to add: She has problems.

if she wasn't pissed at him before, imagine what she is thinking now.

Adult model #2, so far.

Of course, she knew she was selling herself in marriage to a degenerate, but even so...these public revelations must be galling to her.

If he hadn't been installed in the presidency she probably would already have divorced him.

First divorce during a presidency? That would be just one more first for him.

If I were his wife, I'd be glad that he was leaving me alone, but I can understand not wanting to endure the public humiliation or having her son exposed to it.

... partnership of a marriage, so Trump's probably going to want to distinguish himself from THAT, too!

Who wouldn't want to document their "dates" in their diary? Even knowing the sad reality of these secret meetings, they cling to their fantasies in their diaries because they are dating a star.

I agreed with her on the majority of her stances, but at first I was a little standoffish about her beef with Playboy. But after this, I'm totally with her now.

If she's admitting that Trump tried to pay her for sex, why has that not triggered all types of criminal charges, such as soliciting prostitution. Why hasn't that been investigated by Congress?

It's incredible that there are still women (and men) who would support him even after it's out in the open that he tried to pay her for sex (didn't Anthony Weiner lose his position for this? Didn't Al Franken lose his position for a photograph of him playfully pretending to grab a woman's boobs? So this guy sleeps around, tries to pay for sex, and nothing?)

I'm so tired of the "bully effect". Everyone is so stupified and fearful to do anything.

(posted this in a discussion forum thread)

McDougal is the "crazy ex" who believes that Trump was her boyfriend and that they were in love - this is why she is revealing strange details like Trump showing her around the family apartment, while simultaneously saying that she feels bad for Melanoma. She is Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.

Now, I'm sure that Melanoma knows all about Trump fucking everything that moves - but the notion that McDougal was let into the "inner sanctum" and was allowed to walk through Melanoma's home would be an unbelievable breach of protocol. This is why McDougal's story is probably much damaging than the Stormy story on a personal level for Trump.

I also think that McDougal is probably seething inside about Trump having a simultaneous affair with Stormy - part of her coming out now is to tell Stormy "he really loved me!".

Or at least her judgement. She said she found him attractive.

She kinda lost me when she said that.
