https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-sounds-alarm-for-americans-paying-off-porn-stars-if-this-can-happen-to-me-it-can-happen-to-anyone/

Former President Donald Trump has a dire warning for any American citizen who paid off a porn star with whom he or she had an extramarital affair and paid off as part of an NDA to keep it out of the news and failed to legally account for it during a bid for President appropriately: if HE can be found guilty for that, so can you!
Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of election interference fraud by a jury in a Lower Manhattan courtroom Thursday afternoon and has announced an 11 AM press event Friday to address it. He perhaps gave a preview of what he will do in an 8 AM post on social media, returning to much of the same attacks hes made on the justice system that has thus far kept him from being adjudged innocent.
I did nothing wrong, and frankly, there was nothing done wrong NDAs are standard, commonly used, and LEGAL. MAGA2024! he wrote before yelling in all-caps, WITCH HUNT! IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME, IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE!
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
My bookkeeper called a Legal Expense, on the tiny description line of the Ledger, a Legal Expense, openly paid to my lawyer, at that time a fully accredited one. I was not involved in that designation, but what else would you have called it? It was, in fact, a LEGAL EXPENSE. That is the so-called CRIME. On top of that, I wasnt allowed by the judge to use, in any form, the standard RELIANCE ON COUNSEL DEFENSE (ADVICE OF COUNSEL!). My lawyer, at the time, did virtually everything on the NDA (NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT), and I assumed that what he did was correct. I did nothing wrong, and frankly, there was nothing done wrong NDAs are standard, commonly used, and LEGAL. MAGA2024! WITCH HUNT! IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME, IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE!
So there it is. If you, dear reader, find yourself running for president as a major party nominee and paying off a porn star to keep your extramarital affair out of the public eye, and do NOT appropriately account for that six-figure payment? Well, they might just come for you, like they did to Donald Trump.

Kinda the point though. Nobody is above the law.

Yes. If I paid hush money to a porn star to cover up my affair and then lied about it in business records I, too, could face 34 indictments for paying hush money to a porn star to cover up my affair and then lying about it in business records.

It wouldn't happen to me because, unlike Trump, I don't break the law. It seems like a pretty clear cut thing

Anyone who commits a crime could be found guilty? One would hope so. He may consider it a sin that as "the privileged elite" he could actually be held accountable but I consider it a wonderful sign for our country and it's democracy. I hope he's right. That this - being held accountable- could happen to anyone who has it coming, no matter how rich or above the law they think they are

I laugh so much at him saying that. Sorry, it's not going to happen to me because I'm not making illegal payments, stealing classified information, lying about property values, or any of the other crimes he's accused of. It just makes me lmao so hard every time he says that.

Let me count the differences:

1) I am not a lifelong, career criminal.

2) I do not live my life in an endless media circus.

3) I'm not in the habit of paying hush money to have scandals covered up, because there are no scandals.

etc. etc. etc. etc.

But this messaging will work on Trump's brain-dead supporters, since they all live vicariously through this criminal scum.

Actually, he's wrong. If I did a fraction of what he's done, I'd be under a prison and I'd have no loyal cult pledging their life to save me.

Massively privileged rich man who has gotten special treatment his whole life has somehow convinced tens of millions of people that he's the biggest victim in the world.

"How dare you try to treat me like everyone else!"

I'm honestly getting a kick out of Republicans saying this unironically.

Like, yes, how awful that Trump is not immune from something we'd be prosecuted for with far less consideration to our social status and previous employment perks.

Trump the tax fraud, really thought Stormy, an ex-stripper would be happy with an electronic payment, which gets taxed.

I don't know if she ever stripped, however she's known for being a porn actor.

The other woman he had an affair with, Karen McDougal, was a Playboy bunny.

So Trump will ban Porn out of spite if he's elected? I mean we know people close to him already want it banned. And Trump is petty enough to ban it for that reason.
