GOP Congressman: Trump Paid Off Stormy Daniels While in Office Because The President Loves his Family

-snip-
During an appearance on CNNs New Day, host John Berman asked the South Dakotan Republican House Representative Mike Rounds what to make of claims that Trump signed off on checks in the Oval Office, checks that appear to have exposed Mr. Trump to criminal allegations in the Michael Cohen investigation led by the Southern District of New York.
Berman noted that Cohen has revealed specific dates that reimbursement checks for hush money payments occurred on the same day that President Trump met with Angela Merkel, and another day he hosted the senators to talk about tax cuts. This is a jarring juxtaposition, hes conducting business with porn stars as hes conducting business, Berman noted, asking Are you concerned about this?
Rounds provided the most charitable answer possible, saying that most of us are concerned when you have a president working through personal matters, before addingthis president loves his family and think it has as much to do with trying not to have public discussions about something that is, for him, a private matter that he didnt want to have discussed with his family.
So Rounds reasoning for why the president signed off hush money payments to an adult film star with whom he is alleged to have an extra-marital affair was because of love and loyalty for his wife and family. Got it.

By this logic, wouldn't it mean Obama didn't love his family because he never paid a woman off

Just made me think.... someone else in white house probably knew about these hush money payments. Can't imagine him literally getting the checkbook, writing the check, finding an envelope and stamp and dropping in mail slot.

... of justifying his crookedness in their heads.
Quin poll said 33% of republicans think red don committed a crime before he got into office.

He's out banging a porn star while wife # (er, I've lost track) is back in the hospital with his latest child (how many does he have - and they're all working for him, right?) and all of this is proof of how much he loves his family?
Got it!
