New Yorker: Ex-model details Trump system for covering up affairs

[demmiblue]

In an eight-page, handwritten document that The New Yorker obtained, Karen McDougal detailed her alleged affair with Trump for nine months from June 2006 to April 2007, when Trump was two years into his marriage with Melania Knauss, the future first lady. The document was provided to The New Yorker by McDougal's friend, but she confirmed to the magazine that the handwriting in the document is hers.

The magazine's story was published on Friday.

The document describes how Trump allegedly carried out his affair with McDougal -- paying for dinner in a private bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, offering her money after the first time they had sex and reimbursing her for travel.

"No paper trails for him," McDougal wrote, according to The New Yorker.

1. Disgusting human being...can you imagine the pressure on Hillary if this was Barrack?

Yet Melanie slips away....and tolerates all this? And what about Barron?

Money over morality I guess.

Thou shall not commit adultery...unless you are an evangelical or pretend to be one, then all is forgiven pretty much a millisecond after the sin happens!

7. Michelle would unleash fire and fury upon Barack

who would of course never do such a thing.

Hillary must have done some sort of punishment to Bill.

9. Saw this posted on twitter

True and appropriate:

[ffr]

17. Yup. Because it really doesn't matter to low morals conservatives.

for revealing their total lack of morals.

[tblue37]

28. Silly rabbit, don't you know--IOKIYAR! Remember Mark Sanford hiking the Appalachian Trail?

Then he was elected to the senate. Republicans don't punish their elected officials for anything other than compromising with Democrats to pass legislation to benefit ordinary people rather than the 1%.

[ffr]

16. You nailed it. Money over morality conservatives. They are without morals. Money rules all.

Just look at any conservative. Their #1 priority is money. Everything else is secondary.

They are greed. Lust. Envy. Conservative hypocrites!

2. Cannot wait till this monster

is gone.

3. If this was Obama it would be all over the media

24/7

4. I don't read their garbage twitter posts or web sites, but

Dollars to donuts this improves his standing among the deplorables. I'm sure they defend him, claiming that he cheats with hot women.

She turned down $$ to sleep with him. I get not taking the $$, but sleeping with him to begin with?????

27. She was playing the long game

There are some very attractive women who are trained from childhood that their mission in life should be to marry a rich man.

She was lingerie and fitness model and a Playboy Playmate of the year in 1998. She dated Bruce Willis a couple of years after her affair with Trump.

6. I am so sick of this disgusting philanderer occupying the highest office in our country

And I am weary of the hypochristrians for their continued support of him.

[Motley13]

8. since when has not being credible ever stopped the National Enquirer?

99% of the junk they write is not credible.

[world wide wally]

10. It's lucky for him that he got a Mulligan

[Perseus]

11. The bigger question to me is

Why would any woman want to get in bed with the man-child? Even when he was young he looked disgusting, his personality has always been disgusting.

I know...the answer is "money"

[jmbar2]

12. I thought Nat Enquirer publisher was his friend...

Either they've had a falling out, or the profits from this are too good to pass up.

Right after the election, I used to quietly hide NE in the grocery checkout line whenever it went after Hillary. I guess the chickens are coming home to roost.

[Dopers_Greed]

13. As more of these stories come out, Fox News will start to say...

Obama was a "pussy" for staying faithful to Michelle.

[dalton99a]

14. I wouldn't put it past them

[PatSeg]

15. Oh yuck

The first image I have, the first thing in the morning is of that pretty young woman with a naked Trump.

[pandr32]

18. National Enquirer paid McDougal for an exclusive

...and then killed the story saying it wasn't "credible"--ha-ha. We are talking about the National Enquirer for Pete's sake.

[TexasBushwhacker]

24. The NE is run by Trump's buddy David Pecker n/t

[pandr32]

30. Yep and he checks with Trumpy before a story is printed

[Hugin]

19. Due to the timing and content of this revelation, I'm skeptical.

This may be another "arrangement" by Cohen.

Her gushing about Trump's alleged generosity and chivalry and offering to pay for "Travel expenses" sounds contrived.

I don't doubt money was exchanged, however. Also, I'd bet there is a NDA firmly in place.

[shenmue]

20. I wonder if Trump has hepatitis or anything?

Or if he got anybody knocked up?

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. I would be shocked if he never paid for an abortion or 2

He wanted Marla to abort Tiffany but she refused.

[SWBTATTReg]

21. And this is what Evangelicals are supporting?

Adultery, theft of services and wages from his NY state days (numerous lawsuits), guilty of sin of pride, lying, and more. Crimes and acts against human decency are too numerous to list here.

I can't even force myself to watch tRUMP on TV or listen to his rambling and often incompetent speeches that are full of lies and mistruths. And I feel this same way about tRUMP's so called supporters. Most claim themselves to be victims, but in fact, are run of the mouth bullies and blame everyone else but themselves for their perceived problems. One of their claims is that immigrants are stealing their jobs, etc. Well, for one thing, look at the foreign workers tRUMP's own business just brought in to work at his businesses. Also, I doubt 90% of tRUMP's rural supporters even met or know an immigrant.

To tRUMP supporters, who mock those who attempt to make this country even a better place for all, would you have someone who isn't an expert mechanic work on your tractor, truck, or car? No. Then why mock those w/ different skill sets then? Why mock those in urban, east and west coasts?

Is it because you need someone to constantly belittle, mock, and spew hateful vitriolic at, because you think you're trapped in your very rural environment w/ zero chances of improvement, zero chances of advancement, and zero chances of employment? Think again long and hard about it, and see who really makes a difference in each of our lives. It's like talking to an alcoholic, it doesn't register until someday the 'light' comes on, and then they finally see. Hopefully by the time the 'light' comes on, it's not too late.

I feel this way about Evangelicals and their rhetoric now. These people pretend to be the stewards of the human condition but fail miserably by all measures.

With the universe permitting, have a nice day!!!

22. How many times did we hear the term "ENABLER"

about Hillary, but never once about Melania.

[TexasBushwhacker]

26. When Barron was an infant. Lovely n/t

[Jedi Guy]

29. To borrow Jeff Foxworthy's style...

If you have a system to cover up your affairs, you might be a total scumbag.
