Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHonestly, why is Daniels' statement about being able to describe Trump's genitalia even relevant?
While I believe her, there really is no way this is relevant to prove it. And why does it matter?
It heightens the already salacious air about Trump. We know he is a POS in every way possible for other things he has said/done.
I think this just gets us sunk in more mud and filth and I am reminded of how the repukes forced Monica to admit salacious stuff she had on Clinton.
It's nauseating enough waking up every morning to see his face on the news.

(115,719 posts)I definitely do not want to see, or even hear a description of, his junk (although I admit to being slightly curious about whether its orange). Her description would be relevant as evidence of the affair, but that proof would require someone to compare her description with the real thing. Ick.

Stormy Daniels: No.
Anderson Cooper: Not at all?
Stormy Daniels: No.

but besides that....idk. I mean unless there is something very abnormal.......they all look a wee bit similar........

A friend of min and I were having a conversation about this the other day. He agreed that, while Trump deeserves it, we don't wanna hear about it.
And I don't care if Don Jr. showers with his father and what great "packages" they both have.
Sometimes I want to throw up...

(35,454 posts)If he has some type of.....shall we say... particular structuring/marking...push comes to shove, it proves she actually saw whatever it was.

(50,273 posts)Let's say Stormy says he has a Kentucky Fried Chicken logo tattooed on his - whatever the hell he's got down there. A court might order the Great Orange One to drop trow for a doctor to verify it. And . . . yes . . . it is nauseating.

(22,913 posts)It is at best circumstantial evidence. Another layer of corroborative information to support her assertions that she was intimate with him - different then but in a way similar to the lie detector test she took. If there is (ahem) anything that stands out about Trump's genitalia, the only way she could describe that accurately would be if she had been with him naked (or talked to someone else who had been). In theory she would be taking a risk to bluff, and then guess wrong. But I suspect that would be one bluff Trump doesn't want to call, especially if he in fact knows that she knows what she is talking about.

(37,428 posts)...that's going to keep him even more off-balance. He is petrified at the thought of being exposed as less than extraordinary.
I suspect this is most of the reason he's not been attacking her.

(8,445 posts)If there's something unique about it, and Stormy divulges it, Melania won't be able to bury her head in the sand and pretend that creepy guy she's married to is faithful to her. If Melania can help make 45 uncomfortable, I'm all for it.

(3,268 posts)There is a story in politics, commonly attributed to Lyndon B. Johnson, about how LBJ wanted to circulate a rumor attacking his opponent in a Texas election. Johnson, it's said, wanted to spread the story that his opponent liked to have sex with barnyard animals. One of LBJ's aides said, "We can't prove he's a pig f----r."
"I know that," replied Johnson. "I just want to hear him deny it."

(4,407 posts)I mean really, even the hardest core MAGAt undoubtedly believes it happened. You don't get a mulligan if you didn't putt. I agree it's salacious and takes away the seriousness of paying off a pornstar with hush money in violation of campaign contribution laws.

(52,243 posts)In case Donnie and/or Cohen tried to claim it was all a fabrication, even the contract.
It would be evidence to show they did in fact have an affair of the sort he might want to pay to buy her silence.
As to why *we* know such details, well, that's all about media eyeballs....

Or are you yourself bringing it up to let us know you don't like it being brought up?
