When Donald Trump Met Stormy Daniels

March 22, 2018 at 8:04 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

GQ pieces together “the whole weird, sleazy weekend” when Donald Trump met Stormy Daniels at a celebrity golf tournament in Tahoe and reportedly began an affair.

“Of course, Trump’s Tahoe trip haunts him in other ways. Another porn star he supposedly met there came forward with allegations in 2016 that Trump kissed her and two friends without permission that weekend. And another woman still—a Playboy model named Karen McDougal—reportedly admitted to a secret tryst with Trump while in Tahoe that weekend. On Tuesday, McDougal, who had signed a secrecy agreement, lodged a lawsuit of her own, suing for the right to share her story of the alleged affair (Trump has denied the relationship).”

“It’s fair to wonder how a single long-forgotten weekend could, all these years later, cause so much trouble. It’s also reasonable to wonder just what the hell was going on in Tahoe across those four misbegotten days.”

I care about whether he engaged in something illegal. I don't understand the fascination with his affairs.

Sex sells, of course, but it's the money that was spent to buy the women's silence. It seems likely that Ms. Daniels' $130,000 was an illegal campaign contribution by Cohen. This appears to be the tip of an iceberg of corruption involving Trump.

That's how I see it. I read the linked GQ article with fascination. It's long and snarky but well-researched. It's more evidence of Trump's corrupt intents.

Dirty Donny, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and his cabal of colluding republican-russian cronies, have made a mockery of the American democratic tradition as they lie, grift, and betray the USA and all that is decent and holy.

The KGOP is making this era of American history feel like an unending "whole weird, sleazy weekend."
