The thing that really bothers me about Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels is how hypocritical the Right is. I’m old enough to remember how the Right went on a fishing expedition to find wrong doing on the part of Bill Clinton 20 years ago.
It’s really weird how the old expressions, “first time tragedy, second time farce” and “history doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme” are so true right now. We’re entering a traditional presidential sex scandal in extraordinary times so much so that anything could happen. I just don’t know what the endgame of all of this will be. Trump may find himself bloody but unbowed by the time it’s all over with — especially if he starts a war with the DPRK — or something much darker could happen.
(This video stops abruptly, but is pretty good.)
If you may recall, here’s what happened with Bill Clinton 20 years ago: Lucianne Goldberg, Linda Tripp and Matt Drudge concocted a plot to bring down President Clinton because Tripp had recordings of Monica Lewinsky who at the time at least was something of a flibbertigibbet.
I’m not saying there’s a conspiracy against Donald Trump at this point to bring him down using Stormy Daniels, but I would suggest that “dark forces” have aligned against him, given that Daniels waited so long to come forward. I would suggest that Trump has finally pissed off the wrong people and they see — just like Goldberg, Tripp and Drudge 20 years ago — sex as the perfect weapon to bring down Trump.
But we’ll see. As I have mentioned before, if Trump starts a war with the DPRK, all of this will go down the memory hole and none of it will matter anymore. Only time will tell.
