These two spotlight-lovers found each other with little trouble.
After I wrote this, I got this in my in-box - Stormy Daniels is crushing President Trump at his own game

Sums it up.

So what if she is going after more money? I'd call it poetic justice for a man of Donald J. Trump's ilk.
Isn't asking for hush money the same as extortion?

It does indeed.

Daniels is every bit as shameless as Trump, and she's got him coming and going.

Great article.

Person A is a known liar. Person B's veracity track record is less well known but to my knowledge nothing Person B has said has been disproved.

So if you had to "take their word" which Person would you go for and why?
That is certainly a skewed way of looking at it. Who is to say Trump is a known liar?
Many of the things his critics on the left and in the media have said he lied about have turned out to be true or at worst exaggerated.
For example, when he said Muslims were celebrating in NY or NJ when the towers fell. They jumped on him saying it was all a lie, but it was proved to be true based on news footage and reporting. Now Trump certainly may have exaggerated the number, and it could have been intentional for effect, or just being mistaken.
Either way, the average American would not consider that an outright lie, and understood his bigger point, that some Muslims in this country have their allegiance to their own culture/religion and supported the terrorists attacking us.

I certainly do not purport to claim everything Trump utters is completely honest, nor that he has not been dishonest.
However the media and those with TDS do no one any favors (especially themselves) when they claim he is lying in situations like the aforementioned, knowing full well his statement had validity and was not an outright lie.

As to the question, I already game my answer. As to why, I'd say that on average hookers lack integrity/dignity, and if they are willing to sell their bodies, they are willing to do just about anything for money.
Now before someone comes in with your typical joke about all politicians being hookers as well, I think many of them get into politics for the right reasons, even if their methods will not work. While many become corrupt in an effort to gain party favor and get re-elected, most are not just there to fatten their wallets.
Thus I'd trust more politicians over hookers, though a hooker will at least give you sexual pleasure when either one of them ********* over.

I hope that the response would be "Yup it was wrong when Trump did it and it is still wrong.".

If someone here shows consistency, then I can respect their position as I know it is not motivate solely based on partisanship.
For example, I criticized Bush for creating unfunded mandates. Thus when I criticized Obama for the same thing, I was consistent and not subject to charges of hypocrisy.

First of all it's criminal, second of all - we have a so called president who threatened to harm another human being because he was scared of her speaking out.

That's different than name calling people he doesn't like because he's a snowflake. That's criminal.

Trump is untouchable.
Trump and Kim have a meeting, not Pence and Kim.

It is, and everyone should read it. I read many of her tweets... she owns her detractors. I'd love to see Trump try and take her on in a tweet war; he'd lose.

I just read the article, and her team of lawyers has handled this brilliantly. He's in a "damned if you, damned if you don't" situation.
