Trump Reportedly Having EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIR With White House Staffer Hope Hicks

[Jim Dandy]

Washington is abuzz with reports that Hope Hicks, the 28-year-old White House Director of Strategic Communications—who, like most of Trump’s hires and appointments, had zero political experience—is Trump’s girlfriend. She has the highest salary of any of Trump’s aides—$179,700—and Trump paid for her apartment during the campaign.

Hicks was a former model who worked in public relations until 2012, when she started helping Ivanka Trump expand her fashion line. She also modeled for Ivanka’s website, which is supposedly how Trump “discovered” her. She joined the Trump organization full-time in 2014.

Allegedly, Trump has cute nicknames for her, like “Hopester” and “Hopie.” She’s always with him—their offices are in close proximity to one another—and she speaks very highly of him, almost like she’s in love:

”President Trump has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy, which is infectious to those around him. He has an unparalleled ability to communicate with people, whether he is speaking to a room of three or an arena of 30,000."

1. Ewwww. (nt)

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

38. And "Ick!"

Pardon me while I pour some Clorox in my eyes to get that image out of my head.

"When you're famous they'll let you do anything -- grab them by the pussy..." -- The President of the Most Powerful Country in the World.

[maddiemom]

56. I was going to say "YUUUUUCK"

I'm the same age as Trump, but have often thought that I couldn't imagine sleeping with a man as physically repulsive as he's become. There are still a lot of seventy-ish men out there who look pretty damn good to women of equal age or younger. Plenty of women as well.

[Bettie]

173. How he looks wouldn't be so important if he

were a kind or even relatively decent person.

He's ugly inside and it shows.

[maddiemom]

175. You're right. Goes without saying

[tenderfoot]

126. I know, really.

[haveahart]

165. He doesn't have the stamina. Not to worry.

[Granny M]

182. I'll bet his nutty doctor

has written a prescription for little blue pills.

[imanamerican63]

2. If this should be true?

She should have her head examined!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. The first thing I thought was how much she looks like his wives.

High cheekbones, oval face, very pretty, and slender, of course.

I wish her luck.

[Corvo Bianco]

39. I wish them both luck.

You know what they say. Marriage in the dumps? Bring me the nearest blonde under 30.

Edit: she's not even blonde. Not sure I believe this anymore.

[Texin]

79. Oh, I 'believe this'.

There are plenty of women - young, beautiful or old and homely - who are perfectly happy to be the mistress of a (purportedly) wealthy man. Just because she's got a WH position and a title and occupied similarly "convenient" positions within the family syndicate before, doesn't mean that those aren't essentially pay for play. I've heard this rumor before (it's better known in Britain seemingly). If true, and because of everything else that's despicable about this orange shitgibbon, it will only prove that she's well-established herself for what she is and we all can see her price. It really matters not how the man looks as much as how much cold, hard cash flows from his outstretched hand. (And why is no one asking why Melania sticks with him?)

[lindysalsagal]

83. Same with Cosby. There are always willing women.

[Corvo Bianco]

109. Umm... willing?

[lindysalsagal]

147. Ok. Sorry. They didn't know they'd be drugged and attacked. Of course.

But the fact remains that all stars, even the convicts will have women who will continue to show up even after they are known predators.

Of course they don't deserve to be attacked. But they show up, nevertheless.

[bettyellen]

164. He befriended many of them- not dated. For fucks sake there's no comparison.

[classykaren]

114. Shame on you

[LeftInTX]

87. I read a little something about Hope Hicks a few months ago

Didn't pay any attention to it because it was just a comment.....and didn't seem to be substantiated.

[marlakay]

88. I wonder if Melania has it in writing

That if she stays with him to end of presidency she gets a certain amount of money and custody of son.

Why else would she put up with how he treats her in front of the world.

[Hieronymus]

171. I'm sure she does.

[WinstonSmith4740]

118. Recently read an excerpt of interview with her.

Why does Melania stick with him? This might give us a clue. When asked if she would be with Trump if he wasn't rich, she responded by asking if anyone thought he'd be with her if she wasn't beautiful. She's just a gold-digger. She's his arm candy, he's her ATM card. I don't think she gives a damn what he does. Just keep her in luxury.

On the bright side, if this is true, it's going to be fun watching the rethugs tie themselves in knots trying to explain why "this is a personal and private concern, and we need to step back and let the family handle it" when they tried to impeach Clinton over the same thing. Oh, they'll still claim it was because he lied...that should be fun, too.

[SummerSnow]

151. Melania doesn't care as long he doesn't wander into her room at night.

[WinstonSmith4740]

153. Seriously!!!

But then again, he's probably just as happy in Ivanka's.

[SummerSnow]

156. Boom!!

[dixiegrrrrl]

136. Would that be a reason Melania stays in New York, I wonder

"It really matters not how the man looks as much as how much cold, hard cash flows from his outstretched hand."

Melania is his legal wife, she's earned her money, prolly relieved.
Trump likes them young and model-y, she knows that.

hard to believe it has been a secret this long.

[calimary]

54. I thought that, too. The first time I saw a photo of her.

After I heard that shameless lovesick-schoolgirl soliloquy she issued about how wonderful he is, I even said to my husband "sounds like somebody's auditioning for Wife #4."

[smirkymonkey]

93. Yes, but he's a hideous mountain of flab. Also he's stupid, obnoxious and evil.

What on earth would she see in him? I'm sorry, but a salary of $179,000 per year isn't nearly enough to get me within 10 feet of him. Any woman with a brain knows they are never going to get a payout if they marry him, so what's the attraction?

[Shrike47]

131. How did Limbaugh get to wife #4? Some people will do anything for money.

[smirkymonkey]

134. It's one of life's great mysteries.

I suppose we'll never have the answer.

[JI7]

168. Rush's wives were not as attractive as Hope Hicks who could easily get a far better looking rich guy

or even do things like low level bikini modeling and other shit and maybe make even more than the 170k a year without to do someone as hideous as trump .

this is why i don't believe this.

[Bob Loblaw]

4. Please let her own

a blue dress.

[hlthe2b]

10. Since we've "gone there", I sincerely doubt Trump is anything but impotent.

I'm sure he still craves the "attention," but somehow I doubt the machinery works, given his train wreck of dietary and physical habits--not to mention the effect of meds he's undoubtedly on for his "lush hairline" (propecia)...

[Bob Loblaw]

20. Are you suggesting

that he was lying during the campaign when he said there were "no problems down there, believe me"?

[hlthe2b]

21. His "projection" is his "tell"

[Bob Loblaw]

23. I swear

it isn't mine. -- Austin Powers

[OregonBlue]

42. That's what the little blue pills are for. Otherwise, I'm sure he could never perform.

Whatever she's paid, given what she has to do, it's not enough.

[Mr. Evil]

70. Maybe they're secretly meeting at Viagra Falls

all the while claiming they only went to See Alice and her new erector set.

[mountain grammy]

25. Agree

[Chemisse]

85. That's the first thing I thought too.

But he can still grab her pussy.

[George II]

65. With spots. And a cigar.

[librechik]

5. Oh Yikes

If only Trump were a Dem, this might mean something.

[NightWatcher]

6. Will she blow him so we can impeach him already?

Ew, sorry I had to go there.

[fleur-de-lisa]

11. LOL! n/t

[jmowreader]

62. That won't work. He's a Republican.

https://thinkprogress.org/what-we-now-know-about-the-men-who-led-the-impeachment-of-clinton-8b5557723bc9/

The three major players in President Clinton's impeachment were Newt Gingrich, Bob Livingston and Dennis Hastert.

While trying to get the impeachment through, Gingrich was screwing one of his aides, Livingston had four girlfriends and Hastert paid $1.7 million in hush money to the male student he was sexually abusing.

And it wouldn't matter anyway, because Trump could bang a dead girl, a live boy and a sheep on national television and the Deplorables would call it "fake news."

[LisaM]

154. Don't forget Henry Hyde.

In 1998, the Internet magazine Salon.com published "This Hypocrite Broke Up My Family" which stated that from 1965 to 1969, Hyde conducted an extramarital sexual affair with Cherie Snodgrass. At the time, Snodgrass was married to another man with whom she had three children. The Snodgrasses divorced in 1967. Hyde said the affair ended when Snodgrass' husband confronted Mrs. Hyde. The Hydes reconciled and remained married until Mrs. Hyde's death in 1992. Hyde was married and 41 years old when the affair occurred. He admitted to the affair in 1998 and attributed the relationship to "youthful indiscretions".[12] The revelation of his affair was exposed while Hyde was spearheading the impeachment hearings of President Bill Clinton over charges of perjury in the Monica Lewinsky affair.

[FSogol]

64. LOL and gross!

[Ninsianna]

76. But he'd brag about it.

[Corvo Bianco]

115. First line in testimony: I moved on her like a bitch.

[SCantiGOP]

160. If Trump got a blow job

and lied about it, it wouldn't even make the evening news.

[dflprincess]

161. That may be because even the thought of it could make the most seasoned reporter hurl.

And no one wants to puke on air.

At least with Clinton it was believable.

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. Doubtful that Hair Drumpf can 'perform'.

His quack doctor stated during the campaing that Dump takes the hair loss drug propecia, which is known to cause sexual dysfunction. Then factor in that he's 71 and very unhealthy. I doubt that Il Douche is, shall we say, 'up' to the task!

He may pay this young woman to fawn over him, but I doubt that he's having an affair. My definition of 'affair' means sex is involved.

Wasn't there a rumor a few weeks ago that he was 'dating' some other young woman in Florida?

[CentralMass]

8. Pat Roberston will vouch for him.

[Doreen]

69. With or without the dogs?

[OldHippieChick]

75. Because Cheeto is such a good "Christian"

Right?

[ginnyinWI]

9. Well, it fits his MO.

It follows the pattern of his whole life. Although at his age, the steamy side is probably pretty tepid.

[eShirl]

12. What is wrong with her?

[Gothmog]

13. Who is surprised by this?

[Zoonart]

14. Just threw up in my mouth a little.

[underpants]

24. I think I got some in my mouth

[global1]

15. Any Soiled Blue Dresses Around?.....

Trump - Not to be outdone by Bill Clinton!!!!!

[irisblue]

16. I care that he is f-ing over this country & the world.

I do not care in any shape, way, or form where he may/may not be dipping his wick.

[GetRidOfThem]

122. I agree. His personal private actions are not the issue, it is what he is doing to all of us.

Also, we don't know if any of this is true, it could be another planted story to discredit the MSM. They've tried it before...

[Shrike47]

133. If my tax money is paying her salary, I care. She was brought into the WH as an employee.

That makes it everybody's business.

[Orrex]

17. A consensual relationship spanning fewer years was once sufficient to impeach a president

Oh, how quaint that seems now!

[CatMor]

18. I can't imagine any woman

wanting to be with that ignorant bag of wind I don't care how much money he may (or may not) have. He is disgusting.

[ProudLib72]

19. Picture the scene with Jaba the Hut and Princess Leia

Now you've got it. Except Miss Hicks volunteered to be mistress, and Leia did not.

[Nictuku]

22. Its a Trap

I think this is a set up. It is to trap media (if/when it is reported) so they can point and say 'Fake News'

[underpants]

26. I think so too. Clearly she's more apt to be with Bannon

[Hortensis]

41. Very possibly. A 7/22 Politico article, "The Untouchable Hope Hicks"

seems to offer little hints of possibilities but carefully without ever moving beyond those. Trashy subject, and I wouldn't touch it from just any site, but Politico's article suggests to me that Beltway wolves are sniffing around this relationship and there could be more to follow. And if it does, it'll matter.

None of this has to mean they're having an affair, of course. He's 71 now and may have calmed down a bit with age; and I noted at the time, for instance, that none the allegations of his attempted finger rapes were of incidents within the past decade or so.

"Hicks’ instinctual defense of the president is emblematic of how she views her role in the White House: as someone who deeply understands Trump..."

"The polite, soft-spoken 28-year-old newbie to Washington politics holds the lofty title of director of strategic communications, pulls down the top White House salary of $179,700 — the same as strategist Steve Bannon and chief of staff Reince Priebus — but operates outside of any organizational chart.

She is protected, in a world of rival power centers, by the deep bond she shares with the man at the top. He affectionately refers to her as “Hopester.” She still calls him “Mr. Trump.”"

In the chaotic West Wing, rattled again on Friday by the surprise resignation of press secretary Sean Spicer, Hicks has been a stable, consistent presence at Trump’s side — her loyalty never in question, her status in the president’s inner circle never in jeopardy, her back never being stabbed by colleagues in the snake-pit work environment. One person described Hicks, who worked for the Trump Organization before joining the campaign at its start, as a “souvenir from Trump Tower,” i.e., someone who has made the journey with the president from his old life, with whom he can wax nostalgic about the good old days in New York.

[DeminPennswoods]

169. A 90 yr old

male resident in a wheelchair at my parent's assisted living home regularly hits on every elderly female resident there. Age doesn't necessarily calm one down.

[Hortensis]

179. Lol. How "fortunate" for the women. My husband's a few years older than Rump,

and I can confirm some of the younger ones here have more to look forward to than they seemingly realize.
I just think people should hold off assuming there is an affair or that there could not be. We're not Republicans, after all.

That there is a very close relationship that the press has not been reporting seems very likely. I am wondering why the press has stayed quiet about her when the behaviors of the other people around him are subjects of daily discussion. Seems likely they've believed she is not a significant player in policy making or factional warring, and even in influencing Rump politically.

[grantcart]

36. Yep

[LanternWaste]

37. What specifically leads you to believe that?

What specifically leads you to believe that?

[underpants]

49. Too good to be true

[SethH]

129. it's a very stupid story

like this part at the end:

There no real, tangible proof that the two are having an affair, of course, but as soon as she was named the director of strategic communications, everybody started to wonder—out loud:

[LeftInTX]

99. I can't find anything concrete

This is coming from a website, "Impeach Trump Now"

[LuckyLib]

111. It doesn't have to true. It just has to distract.

[matt819]

112. That's fine

The MSM will report when its reportable. In the meantime it will circulate on the intertubes. What's he gonna do? Call out DU?

[Initech]

27. Time for a special council! We demand an impeachment hearing!!!

This aggression cannot stand!!!

[groundloop]

[Tanuki]

46. She entered Trump's orbit when she was working for Ivanka.

Why did Ivanka willingly offer up her capable and comely assistant? Some say she resents Melania and would like to provoke an exit.....who knows?

[Cold War Spook]

50. Sharing

Is Ivanka willing to share?

[elehhhhna]

52. Melania would probably welcome this and hope

Should check in with Marla Maples , who humiliated Ivana on the ski slopes very publicly thus forcing that divorce

58. She must have worked hard on that statement. I can just envision her going through

[haele]

110. No, he probably doesn't do a lot with her. He probably just wants eye candy.

And there's a certain type of conservative woman who will put up with what she thinks are silly "blue" jokes and the occasional lewd behavior so long as she thinks can act out her own nasty attitudes and be rewarded for her greed and pettyness.

That type of woman would be attracted to Drumpf's personality her because she's a Queen Bee at heart, and she loves the chaos and circus so long as she can be the bride at every funeral and the corpse at every wedding.

Women like that doesn't really care about love or respect. If she was like that, she would get what she wants more than anything from him - besides, once he's gone, she might get a little extra, especially if she can replace Wife #3.

That's probably why guys like him attract people like that.

[flibbitygiblets]

61. The second I saw how pretty she was, I wondered what she was doing there

Sucks that when you are pretty you have to protect yourself against "entitled" men, but it's a fact of life, especially with egomaniacs who've been proved as predatory time and again. I would never work for any man with that much power nd his track record, no matter what the pay.

PS, to the person that speculated he's "calmed down", tell that to the pretty Irish reporter who was called into his office a few weeks ago due to her "smile". And she looked an awful lot like Vonkers.

He would LOOOOOOVE the idea of people thinking that he was with someone that beautiful

I mean, come on... you know he knows about the Melania and security guard rumors (and how good looking and ummm virile he looks). So, his publicist "John Miller" probably leaked this - to counter the collective "ick" from photos of him in his tennis garb, attacks on him being weak, etc.

I'm sure there's been a whole succession of them. A lot of women find the smell of money an aphrodisiac and will forgive the male it clings to for being and utter failure as a human being as well has having grotesque physical shortcomings.

[smirkymonkey]

97. However, he always makes sure there's a prenup in his favor, so what's the payoff?

It's not worth it if you actually have to STAY with him to have access to the money. Look at how miserable Melania is.

[Warpy]

103. There always is a prenup

Trophy wives are in it for the glamor and being part of a power couple as well as getting used to having more money than they know how to spend (but soon find out).

101. It is time to replace the current trophy wife

Melania will be relieved, but Ivanka might be pissed.

[JDC]

117. She has a thing for his jowls I guess.

"His flop sweat is intoxicating," a Whitehouse insider overheard Ms Hicks say....

[vkkv]

119. COME ON! GET THIS BOGUS CRAP OFF OF HERE !!

[leftstreet]

124. Trump probably leaked it himself

If it came from anywhere, it wouldn't surprise me

They're tossing lots of red meat at the base lately. Immigration, hating on the media, etc. Lots of 'strong man' dictator type stuff

He'd think this would make him seem strong and virile

[red dog 1]

143. + 1

[More_Cowbell]

120. I thought she was having an affair with Lewandowski

Either way, I think this is just a distraction.

[Richard D]

121. Excuse me . . .

[OldHippieChick]

123. Let's run with this at high speed and hope he takes the bait. My hope

is that he will be distracted and stop paying attention to Kim Jung Ding Dong. He is easily distracted and if we keep pushing this maybe cooler heads (Tillerson?????) will keep Ding Dong from going off the deep end. Perhaps I am naïve, but I worry about my friends on the left coast.

128. Hmmm

I heard this but I also heard she was messing around with Corey Lewandowski. Either way, that's nasty.

[Juliusseizure]

130. Oh Gawd

[hay rick]

132. LOL. I call bullshit.

She's only a 9.5. Trump would never stoop that low.

[ileus]

137. We'll bite on anything...

[DoctorJoJo]

138. Pick A Good Name

I was thinking: 1st Ho, 1st Hump, Hope Sucks, Hope Humps, Hopeless Hiccup, 3rd Daughter, Melanoma's sister wife. I'm sure you all can come up with more apropos memes. But I can now understand Melanoma slapping his hand away--think of the tensions running wild in the People's House? The books that will blossom out of this presidential abortion are too juicy to imagine!

139. That website is a "rumor" site - the article lists no sources at all

There are no reporters listed, there is no "Who We Are" section...It's a rumor site...period!


Another story they posted today, August 8, 2017, is titled:
"House Proposes $4 Trillion Budget, Turns Medicare Into Voucher System"

However, this story is 3 weeks old, and was covered last month by multiple news outlets,
including:
8/18/2017 - US News.com, Denver Post, Truthdig.com
8/19/2017 - Christian Science Monitor

142. Impeach him now.

get rid of the man who will destroy the world ...... TRUMP

Trump Reportedly Having EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIR With White House Staffer Hope Hicks … #ImpeachTrump #LockHimUp

[yuiyoshida]

144. I wish I cold K&R

your message. They impeached Clinton but when it comes to a REPUBLICAN, they can do nothing wrong. IF we even survive this thing with North Korea..

[red dog 1]

150. We can't "Impeach him now"...but we can sign the petition

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!

152. At 28 years old... what does she do to earn a $179,700 salary?

Yes. He is clearly having some type of relationship with her.

[VOX]

157. Somebody put this fucker UNDER OATH...

If that's at all feasible, because at the rate this congenital liar screws with facts and truth, he'll hang himself soon enough.

Then let's see how the GOP does with one of their own LYING under oath. Of course, they'll have no problem with it, even though they used that identical shtick to nail Bill Clinton for a blow job: "He lied! He lied to the American people! The American people deserve to know! Impeach him!"

The fuckers.

[book_worm]

159. What some people will do for $180,000--sleeping with Trump!

[Nevernose]

163. Trump is INCAPABLE of conceiving of a woman

As anything beyond a woman. Somewhere between an object and a human being. That's, in my humble opinion, what's up with the attention and nicknames and shit. I doubt he's ever actually cared about sex; I'll bet anything that it's all about the psychology for him.

To be fair to Trump: he's a narcissistic sociopath, so to some degree every person is less than a human being to him. Basically, he's too concerned about pleasing his ego to worry about pleasing his schlong.

[JI7]

166. i don't believe this and agree it's a distraction. seems like trying to compare to Bill Clinton

she could easily do a lot better . even if it was about money she could still do better and get the money.

[DeminPennswoods]

170. Certainly believable even if it's not true

I doubt there are many Americans who wouldn't believe this story even if it's not true. Of course we think it fits exactly with Trump's lifelong MO toward women; he's always left his wives for someone younger and prettier. Trump's base of mostly white men would see it as exactly the same as they think corporate culture is, a woman sleeping her way to the top and not begrudge Trump taking advantage of it one bit.

[Bettie]

172. She looks a lot like

Melania, or rather what Melania looks like now after all the surgery to make her what he wanted.

Who looks at this guy and says "Yeah, that's what I want!"?

[Oneironaut]

174. "There is no tangible proof Trump is having an affair"

lol They just admitted their own article is bull crap.

[Raster]

176. In addition to being a SERIAL LIAR, tRump* is also a SERIAL PHILANDERER...

...both of which are not and should not be new revelations TO ANYONE familiar with tRumplethinskin*. This shit is "baked into the mix."

Color me NOT SURPRISED.

[appleannie1943]

177. There are some women that will do anything for money.

[PRETZEL]

178. Who knows,

but maybe Ms. Hicks finds this type of relationship exciting,

May not be the first time,

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028008415

[woodsprite]

180. Looks a lot like Monica Lewinsky.

I think it should be investigated. After all, everyone in America knows that Donnie can't keep his mouth shut on State secrets during normal tweeting and conversation. Pillow talk probably brings it out even more.

I hope when Melania leaves him, she takes him for whatever is left of his "empire" when Mueller and Schneiderman get done with him.

[TacoD]

181. She was also rumored to be having an affair with Corey Lewandowski during the campaign (nt)
