Because I do believe that most of his minions think that the Trumpster is and has been quite willing to exercise his considerable libido with any willing woman, and are fine with that aspect of his personality. I think that the prostitutes would have to be clearly underage to really have the maximum “outrage effect”. Or perhaps if he could be seen forcing himself upon an unwilling woman.

The tape that would doom Trump would be video of Melania having sex with another man.

Or another woman.

Assuming it’s true, I just couldn’t imagine Mooch making it long. I can’t imagine a worse first day/week on the job. My guess is that making the White House look like a Mafia safe house was at the top of Kelly’s ‘to do’ list.

Are you kidding? Imagine Donald Trump cuckolded; his approval rating would be less than 0%.

Quite unsurprising, actually. From the little I know about Kelly, he would have no patience for the coke snorting, jumped up little con man. A part of me wishes that Kelly grabbed him by the throat and held him up against the wall, while shouting in the Mooch’s reddening face “You are nothing, you little man! You give me any shit and I’ll break your spine in half!”

At least that’s how it’s going to go down in my screenplay; “The Trump Administration; A Clusterfuck in the Making”

Congress passed increased sanctions by ludicrously veto-proof margins.

Supposedly, Melania is having an affair with the head of security at Tiffany & Co.

[An example](http://www.inquisitr.com/4265458/hank-siemers-man-accused-of-carrying-on-long-term-affair-with-melania-trump-gains-viral-infamy/). Google “hank siemers and melania trump”.

Don’t know how reliable these gossip sites are, but the rumor has been floating around for a while; Trump also supposedly knows about it.
