I would like to know too. That's really damning. Especially if he's raping both girls and boys.

I'll bet all the settlements have non-disclosures, but that didn't stop Stormy Daniels.

The photos of him and Ivanka are downright creepy.

He has just one video on YouTube - this one.

Anyone can make a video using still images, use ominous music and text titles.

Is it true? I don't know. Nobody knows. Unless it is supported with other information, though, I wouldn't put a lot of stock in it.

As much as I'd like something like this to bring Trump down, it's going to take more than a YouTube video by someone who is unknown to accomplish that.

There are no sources given and no way to check any of this, so I'd say it's probably bogus, based on what we can find out.

Snip from facebook post;

Wayne Madsen Report (WMR), which is a subscription site, describes the settlements in a Jan. 14-15 post titled "Why is Trump so afraid of Cohen's testimony?" From the article:


In addition to Stephanie Clifford, aka porn actress "Stormy Daniels," and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, Cohen reportedly helped settle a number of rape cases involving Trump. WMR received a list from a reputable Republican source of these settlement claims, all of which involve male and female minors:

The Madsen guy is a raving lunatic.

Claims about Barack Obama

Madsen has claimed that Obama is gay. The Nation writing on that conspiracy theory reported that Wayne Madsen "is the source on Obama's visits to the bath house and who revealed how Obama used basketball pickup games to pick up men. Obama, Madsen says, had homosexual trysts with Representative Artur Davis, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Senate majority leader Bill Frist!"[36][37]

On June 9, 2008 he reported that unnamed "GOP dirty tricks operatives" had found a Kenyan birth certificate registering the birth of Barack Obama, Jr. on August 4, 1961. "However, the registration is a common practice in African countries whose citizens abroad have families with foreign nationals."[38] This birth certificate was a cornerstone of the "Kenyan Born" subset of the birther conspiracy theories, and Madsen's article was cited in a Washington state petition challenging Obama's eligibility to be president.[39]

In 2012, Madsen self-published a book Manufacturing a President that said that Barack Obama was a creation of the CIA.

Read the debunking replies below. This is apparently the work of a conspiracy theorist.
