So Trump admits his willingness to pay off extortionists

6. Yes, the only new wrinkle is Trump calling it "extortion", and then complying with demands

In a subtle but very real way that is more damning than Trump admitting to a payment to avoid discussing behavior he admittedly participated in. Here he is saying that he will roll over and be blackmailed over any semi-credible embarrassing false accusation. That is a stunning admission from "our President". He's a sitting duck.

Of course it makes it a lot easier to blackmail someone when people actually have "the dirt on you". God forbid if anyone actually has photographs of his genitalia. Oh wait...
