Trump 'may have paid eight women to have abortions / stay quiet about affairs'

From the British conservative weekly magaine, The Spectator. Also states that Cohen has had 80 hours of interviews with the Mueller investigation rather than the reported 50, and that he now refers to Trump as "that son of a bitch" rather than a person he'd be prepared to die for.

Frankly I'm surprised the alleged figure is as low as eight.

What surprises me even more is that there were more than eight women who've done the deed with Trump. Just... eew.

I imagine that they'll call it fake news. But since it's The Spectator I hope it makes their private moments very uncomfortable as his presidency slides into shambles.

After all, they don't need his help to get Roe v Wade overturned. I'm sure I read that a case is working it's way through the courts now.

It was God's will to have trump impregnate that many women to teach us all a lesson...trump, the godsend.

And the evangelical practitioners will not care, they are at a point where their brain has been damaged enough that only limited thinking can be processed, and that limited thinking comes from their pastors, not themselves.

Add a zero and it MIGHT get close. Eighty? Maybe. Eight? In a slow week at college maybe.

There was a major difference, though. I only took one required course at Wharton, where he (supposedly) majored there (Wharton was the business school where I studied). Also--I had to actually work for my degree, so I didn't have four years free to chase women.

But touching a fetus or cells in a pretri dish is over the line!

then this is very likely since he certainly didn't want to be responsible for any babies. I'm frankly shocked that there aren't any women or children coming out saying that Donnie is the baby daddy.

He quotes Steve Bannon as saying they paid off about 100 women towards the end of the 2016 campaign. The book came out before Stormy Daniel's lawsuit was in the news, so she isn't named personally in the book. Actually none of the women are mentioned by name, but Bannon knew about what was going on. Maybe he heard about it from Michael Cohen or someone else, I wouldn't know.

Not all the women who got paid off were actual affairs, some were women he fondled or kissed without permission, etc. They were all Cheeto's victims in one way or another. They didn't get paid unless they signed the Non-Disclosure Agreement. Of those 100 women it's a small stretch to suppose that 8 or 9 would have ended up pregnant and needing an abortion.

I do not know if that was rumor or fact because when I saw that long ago I did not pay much attention except enough to remember that being said.
