Trump started tweeting about Stormy Daniels and it's an unmitigated disaster

Never tweet.


JUDD LEGUM MAY 3, 2018, 8:41 AM

After months of relative silence, Donald Trump has taken to using Twitter to address the allegations of Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump in 2006. The first occasion, an April 18th tweet in which Trump did not mention Daniels by name but nevertheless complained about “A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools,” earned the president a defamation lawsuit.

But this morning, in a series of three tweets, he has made things much worse.


Trump starts this tweet by admitting that he was fully aware of the $130,000 payment made to Daniels. He had to be aware because he “reimbursed” Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney and self-styled “fixer,” who arranged the payment to Daniels. Just a month ago, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he did not know about this payment.

The failure to use any schoolyard bully nicknames or juvenile taunts marks that tweet right away as not having been stabbed out by Trump's stubby little thumbs.

Is he mimicking "people of color"--as if rich con artists are now some kind of oppressed minority?

"People of wealth." Add my to yours.

Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction.

The other stuff...
Maybe it would sink him, maybe not. I personally will not be happy with just getting rid of him. I want every nuance of how we got in this mess exposed so it never happens again.

to be so hung up on covering up something legal but embarrassing that you commit multiple felonies and then confess to them in public. With the assistance of multiple lawyers.
