and they deny the whole thing. If she did become pregnant by Trump, it would not be Trump's choice even if he were to have someone like Cohen try to bully them into taking money for an abortion. Note that in all the media scrutiny of Trump's life and crimes, no physical violence has been uncovered, beyond of course his own attempts at finger rape on airplanes and so on.

Btw, the doorman who was paid $30K to keep quiet, Mr. Sajudin, was told this happened back in the late 1980s. He named a woman, who has a daughter who is an adult now. Journalists, including from The New Yorker, have investigated and found nothing to support the story Sajudin claimed to have heard that Trump fathered her, and the family deny it completely and would like to be left alone. I'm guessing those who've investigated, including the sleezebags from A.M.I., are smart enough to look for such things as signs of physical resemblance or signs of infusion of money from a substantial payoff.

At this point journalists believe the story is the attempt to suppress a story about Trump.

If he can't sleep at night it's only because he's not getting his way about these things. He's used to having everyone around him kiss his ass 24/7, but most of all they must protect him! It's not happening this time, and that really pisses him off.
Like I said, he regrets nothing, because he sees himself as infallible and smarter than everyone in every room. He's thumbed his nose at the law for over half a century, so this is uncharted territory for him.

Not sleeping combined with a horrible diet and constant stress does not bring out the best in anyone. With a man like Trump, who is already predisposed to emotional outbursts, it must be horrifying to witness up close. Meanwhile, it is causing him to unwittingly confess to crime after crime.

I keep visualizing the final days of Howard Hughes, only a much dumber version of insanity.

No outlet has confirmed that the underlying story here — that Trump had an affair with a housekeeper, and that this affair produced a child — is true. The woman in question “emphatically” denied the affair to the AP, telling them, “This is all fake. I think [AMI] lost their money.” Sajudin’s ex-wife called his credibility into question as well, telling the New York Daily News, “He’s infamous for making up stories. … He’s seen the chupacabra. He’s seen bigfoot. One of our friends who passed away, he saw him too, walking down the street.”

If they have to assign moral blame, said righteous condemnation will no doubt fall solely on “that slutty temptress” who probably wore her maid’s outfit provocatively. And Trump will get credit for not pressing her into having an abortion.

11. "The Husband of Melania Trump's Cleaning Lady Just Got a Job In a Vital Federal Agency"
Fri Aug 24, 2018, 11:43 PM
Aug 2018

My #1 candidate is Dagmara. lol


In his continuing efforts to “drain the swamp,” President Trump has decided to utilize the services of a home improvement contractor married to one of Melania Trump’s household staff as an official at the Environmental Protection Agency, according to a report on Politico today.

Presumably, the President thought a home improvement contractor would know how to deal with the severe environmental issues that a festering swamp engenders. Having a relative of his own household staff at the EPA will surely help with the cleanup he must have reasoned.

Facebook's new algorithm changes have decimated the reach and the ad revenue of independent news sources like ours. Please become a patron of our news website and help us pay our writers by making a small contribution:
View our Patreon page >

(A relevant question at this juncture is whether household staff is to cleaning lady as sanitation engineer is to garbageman. All are worthy, honest professions, but the former titles seem so much more important.)

On Dec. 18 Steve Kopec joined EPA’s Region 2 office in New York as a special assistant, according to a memo obtained by Politico.

“Steve comes to us from private industry, where he fashioned his career around customer service and organizational efficiencies,” EPA Region 2 Administrator Pete Lopez wrote in the memo. “Steve is an experienced manager with skills in team building, management and organization.”

Exactly what the duties of a special assistant in a regional EPA office may consist of is not exactly clear, with EPA officials only willing to say that the job entails performing “administrative and support services.”

Mr. Kopek’s previous experience had absolutely nothing to do with the environment or protecting it. Kopek ran a contracting business called “Steve’s Tools in Motion” from his home in Haskell, New Jersey. His wife, Dagmara, worked as household staff for the Trumps when they lived in New York."
