Does anyone believe that hearing him talk about dismissively paying off a nude model is going to move the needle AT ALL?

This country is run by a candidate that received 3 million FEWER votes than his opponent and his fucking "fans" are retarded on a level that makes one wonder how we have avoided a total collapse as long as we have.

There is literally NOTHING that will stop Trump's brain dead fan club/cult from defending him...

He has:
- threatened to shoot someone on 5th Avenue (MURDER)
- sexually assault women (RAPE)
- jailed children in CAGES (CHILD ABUSE)
- insulted all of our allies (WAR MONGERING)
- embraced any dictator he can (TREASON)

Any ONE of these would be enough to end the career of not only the idiot politician who did them, but anyone sharing his same surname for the next three generations...yet Trump has an 80% approval rating with "Republicans". ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???

Jul 2018

Federal authorities have subpoenaed the publisher of the National Enquirer for records related to its $150,000 payment to a former Playboy model for the rights to her story alleging an affair with Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

The subpoena from Manhattan federal prosecutors requesting information from the publisher, American Media Inc., about its August 2016 payment to Karen McDougal is part of a broader criminal investigation of Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, they said.

I don’t know what became of this story, but — “standing by”!
