Donald Trump has been indicted for the falsification of business records after paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
And, if sentenced, he could face more than 100 years in prison.
And now, Stormy Daniels herself has spoken out.
Now, we are all well aware that Trump didn’t handle his election defeat too well.
From the moment Biden was confirmed as the winner on November 7th 2020, Trump went on a Twitter rampage – spreading lies about how the election was “stolen” from him and how Biden was nothing but a fraud.
Trump’s behavior online began to escalate to dangerous levels…
And the lies he was spreading to his followers ultimately caused the shocking scenes in Washington on January 6th, 2021.
After holding a “Save America” rally just a few miles away from the prestigious Capitol building, Trump encouraged his supporters to “take the election back” and “fight like hell”…
Which lead to thousands of them storming the Capitol and unleashing true havoc.
5 people, including 1 police officer, died on that day and hundreds of others were seriously injured.
People from all around the world were horrified by the violent scenes…
And thousands began calling on Trump to intervene and to tell his followers to back down… Which, of course, he refused to do along with refusing to take responsibility for the actions of the rioters.
This resulted in him being removed from Twitter and all other social media platforms for “inciting violence”…
Which led to Trump’s banning from many social media platforms.
Of course, we all know how much Trump loved running his mouth via social media…
So we can’t imagine how much of a kick in the teeth this must have been for him.
The seventy-five-year-old was clearly in a huge sulk over his social media dismissal…
And when the day of Biden’s inauguration arrived, Trump wasn’t present – making him the first U.S president in decades to not attend the inauguration of his successor.
So, it’s safe to say that in the world of U.S politics…
The past few years have been exhausting.
Now, although Trump is no longer the president, there are still some people that believe he should be.
Including Trump himself…
Trump is not giving up on the prospect of becoming president once more.
As he has repeatedly promised to return to The White House.
Trump promised to return to The White House while at the American Freedom Tour in Florida.
According to Business Insider, Trump claimed at the rally that he will take “back the House” and the Senate.
Addressing a crowd at the rally he said: “With the support of everyone in this room, we will take back the House, we will take back the Senate and we will take back our country, and then most importantly in 2024, we are going to take back our beautiful White House.”
“You had a president that always put America first. I will be back and we will be better and stronger than ever before.”
Trump reportedly also went on to, once again, falsely claim that he won the 2020 presidential election.
“We won twice,” he said. “We did much better the second time, and we may have to do it again.”
But now, Trump has been hit with a new controversy.
The Wall Street Journal published a story on January 12 2018, detailing Trump’s affair.
It cccurred in 2006 after Stormy Daniels (whose real name is Stephanie Clifford) met Trump at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.
And there was an alleged $130,000 payment to the actress in October 2016 to keep her quiet during Trump’s campaign for the presidency.
Daniels knew “things about Trump that only someone who had seen him naked would know,” according to Slate.
Daniels copped to a completely consensual affair with Donald Trump. She claimed to have evidence that would corroborate her story — phone numbers of Trump’s assistant and bodyguard, for example. Slate spoke to three of Daniels’ friends, who all said they were aware of the affair at the time. But before Slate could finish thoroughly reporting the story, Daniels stopped cooperating, and the story remained incomplete.
According to CNN, Fox reporter Diana Falzone filed a story about an affair between Daniels and Trump in October 2016.
Unlike the trouble Slate had with corroborating the story, “Falzone had an on-the-record statement from Clifford’s manager at the time, Gina Rodriguez, confirming that her client had engaged in a sexual relationship with Trump…and Falzone had even seen emails about a settlement.”
Donald Trump seemed immune to the effects of scandals the likes of which would have absolutely demolished the careers of other politicians.
But it’s not the actual affair that everyone is focused on…
It’s the fact that Trump falsified business accounts to pay Daniels hush money that seems to have been his fateful mistake.
As he has recently been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury.
The former president will face 34 class E felonies for falsification of business records, as per Newsweek.
“If this report is correct, Trump will be arraigned tomorrow on 34 FELONIES. Each carries a possible prison term of 4 years. Bragg would not bring this case without strong evidence,” journalist Lisa Bloom wrote.
“Remember, this is the same DA’s office that recently convicted the Trump Org for criminal fraud.”
Bloom expects the 34 felony charges to reflect Trump’s repeated attempts to “cover up evidence of an underlying crime, in this case, the campaign nondisclosures.”
However, the vast majority of political pundits don’t expect Trump to serve any prison time over the indictment.
And, even more frighteningly, these charges brought against Trump will not discount him from running in the 2024 elections.
Michael Tappin, a United States expert and honorary fellow at Keele University, told Newsweek. “At the moment, Trump is still the favorite for the Republican nominees.”
And now, Stormy Daniels herself has spoken out!
She took to Twitter to share her x-rated views on the current situation.
“Y’all keep saying “*** dumpster” like it’s a bad thing,” she Tweeted.
“It’s definitely more fun being under my sexy man instead of under arrest.”
What do you think of Daniels’ response?
