A lawyer for President Donald Trump arranged a $130,000 payment to a former adult-film star a month before the 2016 election as part of an agreement that precluded her from publicly discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Mr. Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.
Michael Cohen, who spent nearly a decade as a top attorney at the Trump Organization, arranged payment to the woman, Stephanie Clifford, in October 2016 after her lawyer negotiated the nondisclosure agreement with Mr. Cohen, these people said.
Ms. Clifford, whose stage name is Stormy Daniels, has privately alleged the encounter with Mr. Trump took place after they met at a July 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, these people said. Mr. Trump married Melania Trump in 2005.

I think it'll be funny the hear the torrent of what was swept under the rug prior to the election. While it's unlikely any information will come to light to affect his presidency, I'm excited for the field day late night shows are gonna have.
You’re pretty much echoing my thoughts friend.
Late night TV is sad, so says Jay Leno
I do not think the Trump base cares what he says or his past just that for once in yrs and yrs he does what he says he is going to do. Which he is.
In all the yrs the USA has been around they managed to put the USA in a 10 trillion dollar debt. Guess what Obama in 8 yrs doubled it to 20 trillion and what did the working class have to show for it but a lot of politicians who make maybe $100,000 a yr leaving office in 5 yrs or so as millionaires. And for all your backing to the left side I am sure they told all of you how you to can become millionaires or at least make $15 a hr protesting vs working to pay for all the freebies.
Remember politicians give you nothing, its all from the working class taxes, they are the hero's not the politician. Once the working class has had enough and stops working but for themselves to maintain paying no taxes what will you do? Germany? France maybe?
I agree with you, I'm not a left winger, I'm a libertarian myself. But I myself do not support Trump, nor did I support Obama for that matter. So I guess we kind of agree here.
Trump is at least doing what he was voted in to do.
The game plan up until he got into office for the past presidents was they all told the people what they wanted to hear and did just what they wanted to, blaming the other side for not being able to do what they told their base they were going to do, this happened on both sides.
Trump needed to be in there to correct this or the working class would have said screw it and it all would have collapsed. They had had enough of industry leaving, job loss, higher taxes, foreclosures ect.
