Trump made a big mistake paying off the porn star

If Trump, as reported, paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130K in 2016 to make sure that she did not divulge publicly about their alleged 2006 sexual encounter, then Trump made a big mistake.

If Trump had waited a year or so, she probably would have paid HIM to keep HIS mouth shut about the affair.

No one gives a shit. This will not hurt him at all. His supporters will have to be kicked in the wallet before they snap.

Being paid off. Why isn't the media demanding to see her tax returns. If she received a payment, it will be there.

Trump's lawyers paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 and had her sign a NDA. But her friend didn't sign one. So now her friend is talking and confirming (and adding to) the story about Trump's romp in Nevada. The NDA means nothing under those circumstances.
