....his Trump Organization.
I think those are the facts that cannot be made public. They cannot stand the scrutiny of daylight.
Stormy Daniels is just another episode that his supporters have grown to understand and to embrace. It is part of the character of their leader.
But, the stuff that the Trump Org is/has been involved in is criminal in nature and cannot be explained away. When Mueller subpoenaed Trump Org, the game changed dramatically.

(18,837 posts)He's already trying to buy his way out of it (or, in his delusional mind, collect $20 million from Daniels) by having it go to arbitration.
Whether it does or not, whether it goes to Federal court, remains to be seen. But in Trump's mind, it's too similar to other scandals he's faced. He could give a rat's ass about Melania knowing he slept with a porn star while she carried Barron.
But the financials?
You can't write a check to make THAT info disappear.

(4,066 posts)Come on. His red-neck, NASCAR base all wants to bang a porn star with big, fake breasts. They love him for it and are jealous. They see themselves in him when they think about it. So, of course they approve of it and don't hold it against him.
On background: I am a red-neck from TN where NASCAR is huge. So I speak from experience in the field.

(4,450 posts)"I f#cked a porn star and you didn't" kind of thing.
But when they start poking around his finances? I suspect he's probably in debt up to his eyeballs to all manner of questionable characters. In my opinion, THAT is what he doesn't want coming out. THAT would shatter the "TRUMP as Bazillionaire" mythology. That is what I expect he's really afraid of.
