Former White House Chief-of-Staff Steve Bannon claims the president's lawyer paid off 100 women [tr]

Steve Bannon suggested that Donald Trump's lawyers paid off 100 women who had sexual encounters with the then-candidate during the 2016 presidential campaign. Porn star Stephanie Clifford is said to have been paid $130,000 in 2016 to keep quiet about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump. And Bannon, in an interview for journalist Michael Wolff's tell-all book about the Trump White House 'Fire and Fury', suggested that Clifford wasn't the only woman to receive a similar payout.

Ok, who in the world would take $130K as full settlement if your alleged harasser is Donald Trump? Absurd on it’s face.

No one said he harassed anyone they willingly had sex with him and he was kind and gracious enough to give them all over a 100K.

Wish I had a boss like that.

So we’re supposed to believe that NOT A SINGLE WOMAN out of these hundred came forward to the media and produced evidence. Not a single one.

And, of course, I know there were gag orders, but considering the hyper partisanship today, it’s not possible to believe all 100 women would still keep silent.

I was laughing at the thought that Trump had that much time in 2016 as the article sounds like the encounters not the payoffs were in 2016

Wow, Bannon was Chief of Staff?

That’s a typo: he was Chief of Staph.

I've always read that Donald Trump's policy is to never pay out these phony harassment claims, because otherwise they'll just multiply exponentially. His attitude seems to be "if you have something you think you can prove in court, then bring it on, because I'm not paying out any hush money"—and to date, that strategy seems to have worked.

I'm not aware of any payoffs or any successful court proceedings against Donald J. Trump in the realm of sexual harassment. Any such cases have apparently been either dropped by the plaintiff or else dismissed by the court due to frivolity. You'd think that we all would've heard of something by now—if there was ever any there there.

Trump's style seems to have always been to schmooze women—not grope them. He might very well be on the aggressive side of the sexual spectrum—many wealthy men are—but that is a far cry from being a boorish pig—it takes a special kind of classless man to act like that.

Again, being a sleaze appears never have been Donald Trump's style with women, and—at least currently—the factual public record strongly supports that conclusion.

YAWN

Precisely. Not even anything illegal asserted here. Completely consensual even if it did happen—over 10 years ago.

Who knows? Maybe Donald and Melania have some kind of "open marriage" arrangement going on. It certainly has nothing to do with the price of tea in China.

One thing for sure, though—if Steve Bannon is going around stirring up such stories, I'm losing more and more respect for him on a daily basis...

True story. Years ago, I was staying in the company's designated hotel just on the south end of Central Park. I needed a toothbrush and was damned if I was going to pay the $2.50 the hotel wanted. I knew there was drug store just a couple of blocks away.

I don't know how the New York street ladies tell when you are from out of town, but as I was waiting for a light to change, I felt this feminine grip on my shoulder. She wasn't bad looking, but asked if I wanted to have some fun. I was startled and the first words out of my mouth was "Honey, you'd have to pay me." The look on her face was priceless.

I’m guessing that somebody forged that letter, but more likely that is the kind of letter you write when you are paid a bunch of money to keep it quiet. /s

As a previous poster said - $100,000+ to keep quiet about a President worth millions (billions?)?

Pretty amazing that this porn star (former star?) has more integrity than the media!
