Stormy Daniels Spanked Donald Trump With TRUMP Magazine- and a Picture of His Own Face (Daily Beast)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/stormy-daniels-spanked-donald-trump-with-trump-magazineand-a-picture-of-his-own-face



“He’s like, ‘have you seen my new magazine?’ Daniels recounted to Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes of her encounter with Trump in 2006.

Some have suggested that the magazine was Forbes. But the only new magazine that Trump would have called his own at that time was the premiere issue of TRUMP magazine. It had just been produced under a licensing agreement with Trump in the way of other properties to which he lent his name and spoke of as if they were his, in this instance all the more so because he was a major shareholder in the publishing company.

He was, of course, on the cover.

Along with Trump’s photo, the magazine’s cover was emblazoned with the words ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Another cover line read:

“BUBBLE? WHAT BUBBLE? Real Estate Tips From Trump U.”

Premier Publishing Group celebrated going public in 2006 with a big party at Trump Tower attended by The Donald, his daughter Ivana and his son, Eric. The ebullient elder Trump was slated to get a six-figure annual license few as well as 16 percent of the stock. The New York Post knew nothing of the elder Trump’s tryst with Daniels and was just being clever when it when it asked what name he would adopt if he went into porn.

“Big,” Trump said, then offering a second choice: “The Trump Tower.”

One person who almost did make money as a result of TRUMP magazine was a publishing executive named Mitchell Schultz. He suggested that an animated cartoon series called Trump Takeover would be a good way to promote the magazine and might even become a hit on its own. The episodes he proposed included one in which the hero SuperTrump becomes the President of the United States.

“And saves America,” the episode summary reports.

Tramp liked the idea and entered into a licensing agreement with Schultz, who received 300,000 shares in Premiere Publishing. The stock briefly topped a dollar and it seemed Schultz might actually profit from his efforts. The one hitch was he proved unable to sell it.

-snip-

In recent days, Schultz became aware that Stephen Colbert and Showtime were coming out with an animated series called “Our Cartoon President.”

Schultz still had a licensing agreement with Trump for a cartoon series and he has been consulting with an entertainment lawyer to see if he has ground for legal action against Colbert.

Editing to add that even though it's been widely reported that Stormy spanked Trump with a copy of Forbes magazine, which had one 2006 issue showing Trump on the cover with Ivanka and Donald Jr., that could not be right because Trump met Stormy in July 2006

and the Forbes issue with the three Trumps on the cover and articles about them inside has an October date. The cover date is often the date when the magazine is pulled from newsstands, but an October issue of Forbes would not have been out in July:

Which means this guy has no legal grounds for a lawsuit.

Boy, for people who are so into "tort reform", Republicans sure do love to sue other people.
