What are some things we have learned from the Stormy Daniels saga involving former President Trump?
Sin will take you farther than you want to go. Keep you longer than you want to stay. Make you pay more than you want to pay.
You can’t win at the game of sin.
Some people will forgive you. Some people will never forgive you.
Porn stars will tell.
Porn stars will do about anything for money, maybe anything.
Porn stars sleep around. Reportedly, Daniels has made 150 porn films. That’s a lot of activity.
If a porn star takes $130,000 to keep quiet, it doesn’t mean she will keep quiet. She may do national interviews, write a book for more money and even go to court to talk about her sexual encounter in vivid detail.
Presidents are not immune from troubles. Trouble comes to us all, even presidents. Former President Trump has some troubles.
Never count on a judge to be unbiased. They may have even financially donated to your political opposition. Never think for a minute that you know what a judge is going to do. It’s unpredictable. Trump may be sentenced to jail till about November. This would be a crazy and expensive sentence, but don’t rule it out. No one can imagine what kind of scene this would become. The cost would be astronomical.
Trump could be sentenced to house arrest for several months. This would kill any campaigning.
He could simply be put on probation or fined. Who knows? One thing we know for sure is that we don’t know. It’s in the hands of Judge Juan Merchan.
We know by now that Trump is not a perfect man and has made mistakes. He said he didn’t have sex with Daniels and she said he did. Regardless of what they did, she has made a lot of money and he has lost a lot of money. We learn that even being around the wrong person can lead to a lot of trouble.
You don’t pay $130,000 to someone if you didn’t do anything wrong. According to Trump, he didn’t know he was sending $130,000 to Daniels. He’s a very rich man and writes some big checks, so, he missed this one.
What will happen to Stormy Daniels? Will she make a few more porn movies? Who would want to watch them? Will she get a big check for a big movie about all of this? Probably, eventually. I don’t want to see it. I’ve seen enough on the evening news. Will Trump survive to November? He will. Reportedly, donations of more than $60 million have poured in since his guilty verdict.
Much more mud will be flung at Trump between now and November. There are several months to go, and that will be enough time for Trump to be hit by something else.
An old preacher friend once said, “At every level, there is a new devil.” The next five months will have plenty of both.
