[snip] There have only been two times in Trump’s political career where that dynamic of Republican unanimity has broken, where Trump was near political death. Along the way there’s the lady he assaulted in the Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and the porn star he fucked who, he said, reminded him of his oldest daughter. Trump paid $400,000 to cover up fucking a porn star; he grossed it up to make sure it he’d kill the story in time. It’s not just that Republicans are enforcing totalitarian unanimity in supporting Trump for fucking a porn star and covering it up. Trump paid $400,000 to cover up fucking a porn star.
