Trump also assured Daniels that he and Melania didn’t “even sleep in the same room," she testified
After meeting the future president of the United States at a golf tournament in 2006, adult film star Stormy Daniels testified Tuesday that Donald Trump’s personal bodyguard asked if she would like to have dinner with the once-and-future Republican nominee.
“No, with an expletive in front,” Daniels said she told the aide in response, per NBC News. But she reconsidered after meeting with her publicist, she said, recalling their words: “If nothing else, you’ll get a great story” and “what’s the worst that could happen?”
But, according to Daniels, dinner never happened. When she got to Trump’s hotel room, she found him in pajamas – he later changed – and eager to discuss her work in the adult film industry, where she had risen from performer to director, and whether she had ever contracted and STD (“I’ve never tested positive for anything,” Daniels said).
I had watched Veep before that election and also thought the same thing. Even a very satirical comedy could never get away with even 1 Trumpism.
People hold fictional media to a higher standard than reality.
The problem with fiction, it has to be plausible. That’s not true with non-fiction. — Tom Wolfe
To be fair that makes sense. Fictional reality can be anything and has to be good. Reality just happens and you have to accept it sometimes.
Or, as I have pointed out, in the "President Luthor’ comics, super villain Lex Luthor was objectively a better leader than Trump. Brought in people from both parties; put all his assets in a blind trust; disclosed all his financial records.
