EXCLUSIVE: 'He was afraid Melania would dump him.' Donald Trump paid off Stormy to prevent his wife from finding out details of cheating claims - as it's revealed the fuming first lady DID leave him and spent nights at a posh D.C. hotel when the news broke

    Donald Trump's paid $130,000 in hush money to Stormy Daniels to forestall Melania finding out about the alleged fling
    When details of the tryst  and payoff were published in the WSJ and a celebrity magazine in January, 2018 Melania went ballistic and spent nights in a hotel
    'It was upsetting and humiliating; her relationship with President Trump became strained,' a White House source told DailyMail.com at the time

Fuming Melania Trump spent several nights at a posh D.C. hotel to keep away from the White House when  news broke alleging the then-president had paid porn star Stormy Daniels for keeping quiet about their one-night stand, sources tell DailyMail.com.

It was just what Donald Trump had feared when he arranged to pay the porn star $130,000 in hush money 15 months earlier, a source close to the former president said.

'Trump was beside himself that Melania would find out the details of his indiscretion – an indiscretion with a porn star no less.

He knew what the consequences could be and he would do whatever he could to keep a lid on it.'

Trumpers will run to his defense and say that they’re voting for president and not a priest. OK. I can understand that.

But if he can’t be faithful, honest, and true to his wives, what makes them think he’ll be honest, true and faithful to them?

Love must be complicated to Trump... as many things are. @debrawiest

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

My wife becomes more beautiful every week... for putting up with me and my flaws. But I step back and observe her, and I see that I have been blessed with a great helpmate.

I can’t decide if this is statement reflects misplaced, blind loyalty, or just good old fashioned love. Either way, the listed are very hard to break through. I mean, what blindness convinces some to believe, “ he wasn’t faithful and honest to his brides and mothers of his children but he’ll be different with me?”  Lol

You were correct when you said we didn't hire a preacher @LMAO. ----- wrong about the rest of it.

Trump kept ---- against the gale winds from hell ---- the promises he made to me.  I want him back at the helm to complete the mission.

The love involved is love of country.

I guess nothing precludes someone from being POTUS by being a letch.  We've had plenty of those in the past.  But this guy takes creep to addtional levels.  I don't think we've had prior POTUS' who frequented hookers and porn stars.

He ultimately made a very good president and certainly headed us in the right direction.  Hopefully he'll quit with his childish antics, act like a past president and run on his record.

No he wasn't @catfish1957  Trump was caught on a hot mike laughing with the bros about the group of women desperate for a rich man.  He said you *could* even grab them by the "p" (and it would be okay).  It was hyperbole for a laugh.  This is why the media initially held the tape --- it really didn't make Trump look bad enough.

But, then Trump started to look viable, so the media got its spin together and you bought it.

Many consider the hyperbole unfunny and are insulted by the lockeroom use of the word p**sy and disrespect its use shows women --- both are understandable and reasonable.  But, your continued insistent claim that Trump said he grabbed a "p" is neither.

He was boasting about the ability to use his power and fame against weaker women. Because Donald Trump himself is a very weak man.

Grabbing women by their genitalia without their OK is considered sexual assault. I’m not claiming that Donald Trump did that to anybody. But your defense of it and making excuses for it just because it’s the Donald says a lot about you. Your post sounds eerily similar to the same excuse that “one grope” Gloria Steinem gave for Bill Clinton when he allegedly grabbed Kathleen Willey



I really think you need to really evaluate some of the statements you’re making. I can appreciate somebody liking a particular candidate,  but not defending the indefensible. Maybe you should stop digging the giant hole you seem to be eager to dig for yourself

Many of us have wives and daughters that I can tell you what would happen if a baboon like Donald Trump decided that he can use his power, wealth, and fame to take advantage of people

Here is what’s being defended. It is not simply about using the word bleep. It’s about Donald Trump dominating people who he thinks are weaker.

@Right_in_Virginia

As anyone can plainly see, he was not talking about women throwing themselves at him, and begging for him to grab them by their genitalia. He is talking about asserting his dominance

The reason why they probably “let him” is because he’s rich and powerful and he has the advantage

That story is an old 2016 rehash that bringing it up again is probably not gonna make a difference in 2024

However, my reason for bringing it up was it not what a poster claimed it was. It was Donald Trump bragging about his wealth and power, and how he can take advantage of people.

I didn't say "they let him" @LMAO --- the hyperbolic quote was "they would let you".

And, yes, there really is a seedy underbelly of women (some educated and at least moderately successful in their own right) who will do anything to hook up with a rich and powerful man --- these are the women who would smile at such a grab.  . Billionaires are their number one target.

This has nothing to do with the fact that there are women that will throw themselves as a billionaire. And he never mentions anything about women throwing themselves at him in this interview.

I believe that you really where bothered by that interview when you first heard it but you have an instinctive reflexive reaction to defend Trump on everything he does


This was not hyperbole. This is how Donald Trump sees himself and his views towards women. In his mind, he dominates  because he’s famous and wealthy. You seem to believe that if the woman doesn’t scream “rape” immediately after someone comes up and grabs her privates, well, then that means they let him. You seem to have no consideration of the fact that the reason why the women “let him” may be because they’re too intimidated by his power to say anything

And this is not a stand alone interview. This is in light of the many of the sexual assault/misconduct allegations. If he was ever arrested for sexual assault, I can guarantee you the prosecution would use this interview as part of their case
