Not saying that Trump is any kind of a saint, but he doesn't appear to be a Bill Clinton either.
Your President, who "doesn't appear to be a Bill Clinton" had cheated on Melania with a porn star while Melania was pregnant. He then paid her $130,000 not to say anything.
He's sounding more and more like Bill Clinton every day.
The sad thing is that no one seems particularly outraged by this. It's like the entire country is just numb by now to any and all Trump related revelations. Could you imagine if Barack Obama had paid a porn star for sex while Michelle was pregnant? Impeachment proceedings would've started immediately.
Honestly, I think the lack of outrage is a symptom of the fact that people on the right just refuse to believe anything negative about their party. The right in America's become comically susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories; Fox News, which is far and away the biggest right-wing news source, peddles unproven, unsourced conspiracies constantly and work very hard to convince their viewers that the Left in America is dangerous and immoral. The President himself -- the head of fucking state -- has coined a widely used phrase designed to discredit the media, making it easier and easier for his supporters to convince themselves stories they don't like are fake, but the ones the do like aren't. And right-wing sycophants have lapped it up because they love the Constitution provided the Constitution only comprises the 2nd Amendment.
For instance, remember during the election when Trump and people here were arguing that unemployment numbers cited by the Obama admin weren't reliable and that the "real" unemployment rate was a 5x the rate cited by Obama? Now that Trump's in charge, the regular ol' employment rate seems fine again. And none of his supporters are here claiming otherwise.
In this thread alone, we have people who are more willing to entertain the idea of a vast media conspiracy involving literally hundreds of news sources and dozens of corroborating witnesses than they are to accept that our obviously sleazy President is obviously sleazy.
The Russia investigation, which has resulted in three arrests and tons of smoke is a #deepstate conspiracy by the famously liberal FBI to take down Trump.
There was a pedophile ring being run by Hillary Clinton and her donors out of a pizza restaurant in DC.
The list's literally endless. Fox News mainstreamed three new conspiracy theories just last night. The party in power -- the party that controls every branch of the Government -- convinces it's supporters that the Government's run by a shadowy cabal and everything that happens is completely out of their control.
It's batshit crazy.
