Trump has been caught out

Lying is a dangerous game especially if you are the president of the United States. Lying nearly got Bill Clinton and it definitely got Richard Nixon. The trouble is, if Trump lied about the money paid to the Stormy porn star, what else has he lied about? That's what a lot of people, including Robert Mueller of course, will be thinking. The whole payment to Stormy Daniels saga is gutter stuff really. Trump wasn't president when it all allegedly happened but the fact is Trump lied when he told reporters on his Air Force One plane that he hadn't known about the $130,000 paid by Michael Cohen, his personal lawyer, to the porn queen to keep her quiet. Yet, thanks to dear old Rudi Giuliani who never could keep his mouth shut, we now know that not only did Trump know about the payment to Stormy Daniels but he paid his lawyer back. But, so sweet, he pleaded poverty and paid it off in installments. I thought he was a billionaire. Oops, another omission of the truth perhaps. So now, instead of saying, "look fellas, you know how it is, I didn't really lie but I was just trying to cushion the blow for Melania's sake", he ignores the lying bit abd just says, as if that's ok then, none of the money came from campaign funds. You better be right on that one, Donald Trump, but if this turns out to be untrue you are digging a big hole for yourself. Either way, the Stormy Daniels story is getting bigger and bigger. I cannot believe that Giuliani got Trump's permission to make this revelation on Fox. He says he dscussed it wtih Trump and Trump was happy. Really?!! But the revelation about the installment payments to Michael Cohen meant the president lied to reporters. Is that a federal offence or just stupid? What it did do was give ammunition to his enemies in the papers and probably brought a smile to Mueller's normally stoney face. Mueller is closing in on the president. As for Stormy Daniels, she should have been a footnote in history. Instead, she has become a leading actor in the potential downfall of Donald Trump.
