It's not like Trump out of the blue remembered he once had a fling with her and decided to phone her up and offer her hush money just in case. If you were her, and wanted something out of it the whole time, or decided since Trump was in an election and was vulnerable, wouldn't you pounce? It's not his fault she was going to come out and that the media was going to make a big deal out of it now, which you can bet they wouldn't have, if it was before he decided to run. Trump just needs to point out that it was a personal issue and he paid it to keep his family and business blind to the situation. The fact that she wanted to use his political nomination to get the money out of him has nothing to do with Trump himself. It was pure chance as far as he's concerned and without hard evidence, that's the way it will be judged.

It's not Trump fault that he had an affair while he was married and they decided while running for the president he should get ahead of the story that could potentially come out and shut it down.  Its totally his fault.  Its his fault for the not one or a couple but many affairs he has had with every wife.  If anything since he has cheated on every wife he has and we all know it, he could have saved himself some coin and just admitted it.  You are basically trying to absolve Trump from any of his guilts, then the lies he stated when it was still found out and saying nothing was his fault.  You have no personal issues when it comes to affairs as a President running for public office.  If he want to keep his dirty laundry quite then stay a private citizen.  What I find funny is another excuse trying to shift blame somewhere else for this man decisions.  Since he had no intention of making payments to any of these women before going for President, it was done for the campaign no matter how you try to portray it.  The good thing for Trump is that it still something hard to prove unless multiple other sources have evidence to the fact.

I'm sorry you feel that way. It was his fault for screwing around, if he did. The fact that this case, or any of them, happened before his campaign, and not during his Presidency, unlike some former 'great', 'well respected' American Presidents, leads me to believe this is quite far from a political matter in terms of affairs.

We all assume we know a lot of things. Legal guilt's. So Trump is going to be the last American President ever because anyone with any faults should stay a private citizen? Which is every single human being of age, ever. Who says what they really wanted from Trump was hush money in the first place? Your saying it's impossible that Stormy, etc, was paid off in some form by a lefty or the media, behind the scenes, to bring this into the public limelight for political reasons? No other possible scenario's?

While not completely out of the question at this point in time, it is unlikely that there is hard evidence against Trump. The good thing for Trump, is that he's The Donald.
