they're gonna make America GRATE again, aren't they?
I doubt that this media circus around affairs that Trump had in the past will really hurt him or his image. Lots of politicians and celebrities probably have mistresses. It looks like media indulging in lurid stories. Okay, so he dated hot women. Sounds like British tabloids.

So he's banged centerfolds and porn stars. He's propositioned a ton of beautiful women. So what?
I'm not a Trump supporter. I wasn't a Clinton supporter, either. Both are deplorable people. But I don't see the relevance. We've had Clinton, Kennedy, etc. that have had affairs while in office. These affairs were before he was elected. He's guilty of being a bad husband. He's guilty of cheating a lot of people out of money by abusing the bankruptcy laws. Media is just interested in ratings; there's nothing here that can force him out of office.

Well... once upon a time I was told I should respect the president. Further back, the man in that office was sold to youngsters as someone you should strive to be like... a role model.
Having a really, REALLY hard time trying to reconcile telling children to strive to be like donnie.
So, amongst everything else, that's what.

There was apparently a lot more details that 60 Minutes described as "tawdry", and that they chose not to include. Although spanking Trump with a magazine with his photo on the cover conjured up a comical image that might embarrass him I guess. That, and the fact she said she was not attracted to him. Probably bruised his ego there.
I heard a couple of things that might be problematic, for somebody:
Trump's lawyer, Cohen, may have violated campaign finance law. Second half of the 60 Minutes story was focused on that aspect.
And we can be sure people will dig deep in an effort to identify the guy who threatened her with physical harm in 2011 if she didn't drop the story she was to have published about her encounter with Trump, as described here:

And her lawyer tweeted a photo of a disc the other day, whatever that portends...

The only substance in this story is the laughable claim by Trump's attorney that he paid the 130K out of his own pocket to buy this woman's silence. This will most likely cause problems for Cohen down the road; but in the end will probably have little impact against Trump directly.
She was threatened seven years ago? Great - prove it. No? It's a non-story.
Other than that what do you have left? Trump's a sleaze-bag? OK, not news.

Another uninformed CBS spokespeople.

Oddly accurate for uninformed.
/r/the_donald has been having periodic meltdowns. It's been a great 30 days
and here I thought we were talking about the North China Sea - the Stormy Daniels brouhaha is too Shakespearean to matter - it's just much ado abut nothing.
Correct, but it will lessen enthusiasm for Trump going into midterms, which will likely mean his voters don't show up, an invigorated anti-Trump voting block will show up and it'll be a bloodbath for the GOP. Book it.

I agree completely. I wouldn't tell me kids to strive to be like Trump.
I also wouldn't tell them to be like Clinton, JFK, LBJ, and basically every single president who actually had affairs while in office. Bill Clinton stuck a friggin cigar in a woman's vagina in the Oval Office. So this story, while dumb, awful, isn't exactly new. At least Trump wasn't in office when he did this.

You're the guy claims he has only voted for a democrat twice in his life, right?

Those are the democratic spokespeople? I haven’t heard from Hillary in a long long time. What kid are you talking about? Is this pornstar a democrat?
This porn star appears to be a tool to try to embarrass Trump now and in the future, whether she voted democrat or not.
