I'm not suggesting that Stormy Daniels is a sleazeball.
But is her profession relevant at all? If not, what does it mean that Trump is vulnerable to porn stars? Why is that a thing?
Beyond her profession, and much like Karen McDougal, are their claims inspiring? They're not alleging that they were harassed or treated inappropriately, are they? Aren't they both basically alleging that they should be able to talk as much as they want about the sex they had with a married guy and that their previous agreements to stay quiet about it are oppressive? I agree Trump is a sleazeball, but that doesn't mean that either of them are great heroes, does it?
Stormy Daniels and the other women filing legal actions strike me as gold diggers, and Trump strikes me as the sort of guy who likes gold diggers. Thus I expect to see more gold diggers. Because that's who our president is. A gold digger guy. I don't see any nobility anywhere in that.
Trump is a man with many secrets he'll demonstrably pay to keep. The point isn't so much that we should be offended by these secrets, but that he is. This makes him vulnerable, because he's led a life of wretched excess that can't withstand the scrutiny that the President of the United States will inevitably face. (Gee, Trump supporters, I wish someone could have seen that coming.)
I wonder if the big question people will one day ask is: "WTF was Donald Trump thinking when he decided to run for President?" (This was among the questions I asked about John Edwards.)
