Trump: The Innocent Man of Capitol Hill-Part V (The Saga Continues-Alleged Sexual Indiscretions)

April 5, 2018

It’s a never-ending story. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America is dominating the news again under unflattering circumstances.  His current newsworthy problems stem from pending legal cases against him involving sexual misconduct allegations by several women who are seeking legal action against him. Additionally, there are still many sexual misconduct accusations launched against Trump by countless other women.  If more women decide to take legal action against Trump, his legal problems may reach epidemic proportions.

Stormy Daniels has often been in the news and on talk shows lately. She’s the adult industry actress, who Trump’s lawyer paid $130,000 in “hush money” for her not to talk about the liaison she had with Trump back in 2006. Like Trump, Stormy just will not go away. Without a doubt, she appears to be taking full advantage of her moment in the spotlight and relishing the attention.

Trump  kept mum on the Stormy Daniels issue for several days, but today, in response to a reporter’s question (as he entered Air Force One) he said that he knew nothing about the hefty payment that his lawyer paid on his behalf to Ms. Daniels in 2016, just prior to the election. The fact that Trump’s lawyer admittedly paid Daniels with monies he secured from his personal home equity loan makes this clandestine deal all the more strange. Why would Trump’s long-time attorney, pal, and confidant pay $130,000 to an adult film star/businessperson without the knowledge of his client? No one knows. We’ll have to wait and see what develops later regarding this controversial payment.

Besides Daniels, there is a young lady named Karen McDougal, the Playboy 1998 Playmate of the Year, and former Pre-K teacher who came forward to report an amorous relationship with Mr. Trump lasting several months.

Around the same time that Trump was romancing Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, he was married to former model, Melania Knauss, who gave birth to the couple’s first child within this same time frame!  During the media coverage of Karen McDougal, it was revealed that she was paid $150,000 by AMI, a firm that owns the National Enquirer.  AMI essentially purchased her story involving Donald Trump to “kill” it -never to be published, apparently to protect Mr.Trump. The National Enquirer is a long-time avid supporter of Mr. Trump.

In addition to Daniels and McDougal, Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice accused Trump of unsolicited fondling, kissing, and the thrusting of his private parts against her.  Mr. Trump has denied this.  He stated that the alleged Zervos incident (like the claims of many other women) is patently false. According to Trump, all these women accusers are liars! After the statute of limitations for the Zervos sexual impropriety claim elapsed, she could no longer sue Trump for that action.  However, she is currently suing him for defamation of character, stating that Trump defamed her by calling her a liar.  Lawyers familiar with the case say they think she has a good case. The judge in this case has given the “green light” for the case to move forward. However, the decision to go forward is being appealed by the Trump legal team.

The most egregious sexual claim against Trump comes from Katie Johnson (not her real name) as reported by Daily Mail.com. She alleges being lured to a sex party by known pedophile and billionaire, Jeffrey Epstein, when she was 13 years of age and in New York City pursuing a modeling career. She alleges being forced into rough role-play sex with Trump and Epstein. The alleged assault took place in 1994. She reports that at the time she didn’t know that one of her attackers was Donald Trump until she saw an episode of The Apprentice.  Her original claim was filed in a California federal court in April, 2016 and amended in New York federal court in October, 2016, claiming “rape, criminal sexual acts, assault, battery and false imprisonment”, according to Daily Mail.com.

Following numerous alleged “threats”, Ms. Johnson dropped her suit in New York on November 4, 2016, four days before the presidential election of November 8th 2016.  Daily Mail.com has also reported that Ms. Johnson has a criminal history which includes a felony arrest and drug abuse which she believes stems from her unpleasant childhood.

Again, besides the above-cited claims by these women, there are countless claims by other women still waiting to have their voices heard. Trump continues to brand them as bearers of false news and liars.

It is well known in the U.S. and abroad that Trump is the consummate liar. He lives in a self-created world of fantasy and acts as if it is his world, with the rest of us passing through it, only with his benevolent concurrence. He represents the epitome of arrogance on the world stage, and that is not good for America!

Many people purposely refrain from judging Mr. Trump’s morality, or lack thereof, but other folks are asking, “When is enough going to be enough?”

Nowadays Trump has to be on “pins and needles” because of the myriad of personal, legal, and job-related problems besetting him at the same time.  Behind closed doors he is said to be exploding! Not many people can withstand a constant barrage of incoming fire raining down on them every day and every hour. Even steel breaks! However, one cannot legitimately feel sorry for Mr. Trump because he has had countless opportunities to correct the “errors of his ways”, but apparently he has chosen not to change. Sad!

Many well-known and powerful people have been brought to justice and/or penalized for the same behavior demonstrated by Mr.Trump. Why hasn’t he been brought to justice or penalized for the same actions?  So far, The Innocent Man of Capitol Hill has emerged as the second coming of “Teflon Don”. Sad!  Justice must be just around the corner.  Justice, a beleaguered nation calls out for your help! We need it now!
