Trump’s Stormy Daniels saga shows he's a cad, not a convict

There is a difference between a criminal and a cad. A criminal violates a government’s written laws. A cad violates the moral laws regarding how men should treat women. To violate written laws, a criminal rejects the authority of his fellow citizens to make commonly binding rules. To violate moral laws, the cad must reject the dignity of women, who are his fellow human beings, treating them as objects for pleasure. A criminal hides his deeds to avoid legal conviction and punishment. A cad hides his deeds to avoid public shame.
We should keep the distinction between a criminal and a cad in mind when assessing the possible indictment of former President Donald Trump . Trump has been accused of paying hush money to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their sexual encounters. Daniels, a porn star, allegedly received $130,000 in exchange for her silence — money supposedly given through Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen . If certain reports are true, then Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will charge Trump with a campaign finance violation for falsifying business records by hiding this transaction within the financial statements of the Trump Organization.
