Get your story straight on Stormy

President Trump acknowledged a $130,000 payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels, but said the non-disclosure agreement was “used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair.”

Well, now that that is cleared up, I guess it is over. Wait, one problem: Does anyone believe this? No? OK.

Trump, just admit to the affair and move on. Why lie continuously about it? Oh, because of illegal payments? Gotcha. Sorry, the investigation continues. Jon Leady

So Trump just paid a porn star $130,000 because he didn’t have an affair with her? Got it. Trump is so missing the point. A lot of us don’t care about the affair, other than confirming that our leader is amoral at best, immoral at worst. We care that he has used at least three versions of this story, which we can only assume were lies.
