This must be a 1st my friends.  Stormy Spanked Trump tweetless.

WASHINGTON — After sixty-one weeks in the White House, President Trump has found two people he won’t attack on Twitter: Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

The verbose commander-in-chief has posted more than 2,900 times on Twitter since taking office, using the term “FAKE NEWS” to describe everything from the Russia probe and allegations of chaos in the White House to harassment accusations, the size of his inaugural crowds and heated arguments with world leaders.

But he has been uncharacteristically silent in recent days — to the relief of his advisers — as a pornographic film star and a Playboy model described intimate details of sexual encounters with Mr. Trump. Stormy Daniels, the porn star, said Sunday night on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that she once spanked the president with a copy of Forbes magazine bearing his face on the cover.

The lawyers are waiting for him to issue one false statement, so they can unleash a bunch of hard evidence.  And he knows it.

Maybe Trump married the wrong woman. We finally found one that will get him to shut up.

Trump can easily nip this in the bud by acknowledging that they had an affair.

We ALL KNOW what kind of libido he had long before he entered politics.
Why deny it? Trump never advertised himself as a paragon of sexual virtue.

Just don't do a Bill Clinton. It's between him and his wife and family.

And to those who claim that had Trump paid her more instead of the measly $150,000 ( say, $1.5 Million ), that would have bought her silence.
I remind you that George Soros and Tom Steyer could easily buy her by doubling that amount.

Honesty is still the best policy.

He probably could have if the payment had happened years ago before he was a candidate and not days before the election.  Now, it's a problem for President Dennison.  Cohen really messed up by not outsourcing this to another attorney.

By his own admission, his only valor was avoiding STDs while heroes were sacrificing their lives in Vietnam.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I'm sure Melania is a gracious woman, but she had to know what she was getting herself into when she hooked up the The Donald. Fiinancially, it worked out very well for her. It's been my experience that morality isn't that big a thing with the uber wealthy. Europeans see the average American as puritanical, too.

I don't think Melania pays much attention to Donald's trysts, in the same vein as Hillary did with Billy Jeff.

Of course she did. She was the other woman of a wife who was the other woman and so on and so on..  I'm sure they had 'arrangements' and I bet that Prenup is a goldmine that will never see the light of day.

No, Melania was not the "other woman" in Trump's divorce from Marla Maples.  Donald and Marla separated before Donald even met Melania.

To be the "other woman" she must be the reason the marriage broke up. 

You're right about Marla --- she *was* the other woman in the Donald/Ivana marriage.... she was the cause of the breakup. 

You're wrong about Melania.

Wait until late Friday night/early Saturday morning. That is usually when Trump goes into "tweetstorm" mode. If he has anything substantial to say about it, that's when he will.

That refers to something that will stand up in court, right?
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

There's been so much fake news lately, like when certain failing sites reported people like McMaster and Tillerson were on their way out.

The media has been speculating that I fired Rex Tillerson or that he would be leaving soon - FAKE NEWS! He’s not leaving and while we disagree on certain subjects, (I call the final shots) we work well together and America is highly respected again!

Three of the five biggest one day drops in the history of the Dow occurred this year.  Weird how he never tweeted about that.

That needs to be measured in percentage to compare to historical drops.  And when that is done, those 3 don't make the top 10.
