It's dangerous to all of us, of course, because of the power of the office of POTUS. And that sucks.

What I'm not bothered in the slightest about is that it is also dangerous to himself. Legally, financially, medically, many different ways. He's going to end up a lot worse than he otherwise would if he had thick enough skin and a strong enough spine to face reality. Hopefully the comeuppances will arrive sooner rather than later.

I'm guessing it's not the infidelity that bothers her, she married him for his money. I'm guessing the problem is that he can't keep it a secret, so she looks like both a fool and / or a gold-digger in public.
