Such a waste of money. Remember, he has "the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s like incredible!"
He should have just let her talk. Such a sucker.
I think that's probably the part that bugs him the most, well other than the idea that he's accountable for his crimes and can be caught cuz I'm sure that bugs him more than anything else, but I mean the idea that he didn't need to do any of this. That must eat him up inside. At the time this started he had no idea how much power he would have over his masses of morons. Now he knows that he could pay off 100 porn stars and and they wouldn't bat an eye.

Yes, that is how laws are supposed to work.
Paying off pornstars is fine. You just can’t falsify business records for it.
Former President Donald Trump has a dire warning for any American citizen who paid off a porn star with whom he or she had an extramarital affair and paid off as part of an NDA to keep it out of the news and failed to legally account for it during a bid for President appropriately: if HE can be found guilty for that, so can you!
Pornstars are legitimate entertainers that bring at least something positive to the society. Unlike Donald Trump.
Yeah that's what he's warning us about, it can happen to anyone!
I'll remember this if I ever find myself in the position to cheat on my pregnant wife with a pornstar and then run for president.
I'm afraid you're already behind the curve if you weren't born to an obscenely wealthy father.
No, I think he means that even if you don't run for president, it might affect you if you've cheated on your pregnant wife with a pornstar.
That alone sadly is not even the issue. Only when stealing from the government comes in, you can expect to actually get prosecuted.
Trying to pawn off the expenses on your company balance and committing tax fraud, then paying off people to not tell about your tax fraud, that's what gets you.
Sounds just about right
The irony in all of this is that if he had just paid her out of his own pocket it wouldn't have been an issue. Like they say the cover up is worse than the crime or noncrime in this case. Also ironic is he didn't have to cover it up as the evangelicals don't seem to care he cheated on his wife with a porn star. A perfect example of why we don't need morality police telling us how to live
Reminds me of a certain Mr. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Nobody gave a fuck that he did it; they were upset he hid it.

Absolutely chilling. Who would want to be held accountable for their actions?

GOOD. We're on the same page then. The rules apply to everyone like it should be.
Really?
Most Americans have access to campaign funds they can misuse?
Damn tired of the press making this a porn star thing and not a campaign fund thing.

Its more like if you pay a porn star and file it as company expenses at your work
Yeah then anyone should be prosecuted
Shit... I need change my plans about using campaign donations to pay off that porn star I banged at the golf course I own.

I want to pay off porn stars :(
If you're going to fantasize go big!
Tell yourself that they want to pay you!!
Me too! I need a porn star in my life but my wife won't allow it! Why! Why!
LPT: When paying hush money to a pornstar so she won't make fun of your weird dick or that you wanted her to pretend to be your daughter, make sure to ALWAYS use your own money to pay them off.
Trump saying the quiet part out loud: "If anyone is immune to repercussions it's supposed to be ME!"
Wow, crazy
/quietly withdrawing presidential bid
LOCK HIM UP!
LOCK HIM UP!
LOCK HIM UP!
LOCK HIM UP...!
I’ll bet you $10 they were trying to claim tax relief on the money they used to pay the pornstar as well
His fans: "Wow! That could have been me!"
I'll definitely keep this in mind, for all those porn stars that want to fuck me and keep quiet about it for affordable rates. I don't really think that's my thing, but I'm not a billionaire yet, so it can be hard to predict the future.
I hope the Crying 45 reveals more dirt and he might drag some people into the same shithole with him.
