"Mr. President. How many abortions have you paid for and/or helped to arrange?"

[StarfishSaver]

Just a suggestion for the next journalist who interviews him.

No point in asking IF he's paid for or arranged an abortion. There's little doubt that he has. In fact, given his sexual proclivities and prolificacy, it's virtually impossible that he hasn't. So they should skip straight to the number.

1. Melanie should answer your question

based on her past (to be generous) experience.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Does David Pecker have the dirt on him in this area?

[dewsgirl]

4. I bet he does.

[NewJeffCT]

30. After Pecker reportedly flipped

a year or two back, there were rumors swirling that he had evidence of upwards of 8 abortions paid for by Trump.

[BigmanPigman]

33. Eight!?!?!

Even if it were proven I bet his cult and fundies will forgive him as usual. If it happened before he became the anti-POTUS they don't hold it against him. Hypocrites!

[msongs]

3. democrats should ask this question. nt

[dawg day]

5. And he's known to refuse to use protection--

Creep.

[StarfishSaver]

6. What I meant by "proclivities"

Ewwwwww!

[left-of-center2012]

21. "he's known to refuse to use protection"

They don't come in extra small.

[kag]

27. or mushroom shaped

yuck

[redstatebluegirl]

7. I am certain there are multiple women

who could validate this. Cohen would know...

[CharleyDog]

10. it's time for women to come forward to talk openly about their pregnancies/abortions with Repub

especially the righteous lawmakers passing these anti-choice laws.

[oldsoftie]

15. One reason why i'm not so sure. Seems ONE would have come forward by now.

[Moostache]

18. Why? 23 women came forward on sexual assaults....how many of them received justice?

I don't blame any woman for making decisions to go public or remain silent in these situations, but I can certainly understand why no one would feel like being first to the party in naming themself as someone Donald Trump paid for an abortion with. The lunatic fringe on the right would immediately destroy their life without regard to anything and it would happen with dizzying speed...

8. I have always thought Broidy was just covering for Trump:

http://time.com/5239654/michael-cohen-elliott-broidy-playboy-payout/

"Michael Cohen, the longtime personal lawyer to President Donald Trump, negotiated a $1.6 million payment with a former Playboy model who said a top Republican donor and fundraiser impregnated her last year, the donor acknowledged Friday.

Cohen handled the settlement to the woman for Elliot Broidy, a venture-capitalist, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. Broidy served as a deputy finance chairman for the Republican National Committee — along with Cohen – sources familiar with the situation said he had resigned from his post Friday after the news broke.

“I acknowledge I had a consensual relationship with a Playboy Playmate,” Broidy said in a statement. “At the end of our relationship, this woman shared with me that she was pregnant. She alone decided that she did not want to continue with the pregnancy and I offered to help her financially during this difficult period. We have not spoken since that time.”

The payment bars the woman, who is based in Los Angeles, from speaking about her relationship with Broidy. The money will be paid to her in quarterly installments and the first installment was due on Dec. 1, the Journal reported."

[sdfernando]

25. well if the father wasn't Broidy but the orange pustule

then she could talk about that without breaking the agreement....of course that presupposes that the agreement only states Broidy, which is unlikely.

[Ohiogal]

9. All the more reason

for his nutbag wacko supporters to demonize women for being evil temptresses.

[pazzyanne]

11. A presidential quote from the orange one:

"She wanted to get some furniture. I said, “I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.” I took her out furniture I moved on her like a b****. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*** and everything. She’s totally changed her look."

[relayerbob]

12. Disagree slightly

The question should be: "How many abortions are you responsible for?"

[Poiuyt]

13. Mr. President, why didn't your mother have an abortion?

[AdamGG]

14. He'll just lie in response

and then sign some more bibles.

[oldsoftie]

16. I'd LOVE to see proof of it. As rabid as the RW is about abortion, it would be interesting.

[Aristus]

32. They would just forgive him and say it's okay because reasons.

[monmouth4]

17. Didn't Marla say he wanted her to get an abortion when she was expecting Tiffany and she refused?

[SunSeeker]

23. Yup.

[yaesu]

19. spoton

[LisaM]

20. Why wasn't that asked at the debates?

There was a time during the 2016 campaign where he went on record stating women should be "punished" for having abortions. The next time there was a debate, that should have been one of the first questions asked.

[SunSeeker]

22. Trump wanted Marla to have an abortion. ("Oh great. What are you going to do about it?)

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-tiffany-trump-ivanka-trump-tapes-howard-sterm-671826

[Buckeyeblue]

24. I'm sure he never paid...he never pays for anything. Arranged? Probably several.

[brewens]

28. He did call sleazing around NYC as a young man "his own personal Vietnam". His

worshippers should know he probably had little regard for women or children back then. Probably the only way his activities related to the war.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

29. He's been asked this before, and the answer was "That's a very interesting question," and life

went on, because no one cares.

31. Don't Trump's sex NDAgrmnts demand "no paternity" i.e. no baby. Cohen testified smthg like that.
