Why did Stormy Daniels make her statement about "no affair" with Donald Trump just before the SOTU ?

This is just my opinion.

But, I think she received another pay-off to say it, so Melania could show up at the SOTU.

Melania heard what she wanted to hear, in my opinion.

I thought that was debunked by Stormy Daniels herself in the Jimmy Kimmel interview. The signature didn't match and she, in essence, disavowed the released statement.

Did she admit to an affair with Trump?

Did someone else release her purported story to the press?

What happened?

Her interview was entertaining, much more so than I'd expected. She is no fan of Trump. Worth a watch.

Kimmel read the statement and it sounded more like a lawyer wrote it. Then he showed multiple examples of Stormy Daniels' signature; the examples were all alike and the one on the released statement was completely different.

There's a thread on here somewhere with the Kimmel interview embedded.

She wouldn't say who wrote that latest statement ,but Kimmel proved it was not her signature.

It was a very funny interview without answers to questions which proved the story about hush money is true.

I think she was paid off, then turned right around and went on Kimmel with those coy answers. She's having it both ways and playing them like a fiddle.

so don't be surprised if Trump offered her more money if she agreed to keep quiet now.

1) the note said that the affair that didn't happen happened "many, many, many" years ago.

who do we know who uses unimaginative repetition of simple words for emphasis?
besides, who tries to exaggerate time between now and a fictional event?

2) one of the years listed (in which the affair was denied) was "20017".

who do we know who makes silly typos and doesn't bother to proofread their work?

3) and then, finally, there's the signature, which is completely different.


obviously this was the work of donnie and his flunkies, trying to discredit a bad story about him to discourage the media from ruining his moment in the spotlight because of the state of the "uniom" address.

The three best choices KPH (Kingston Public), UHWI (University Hospital of the West Indies) Cornwall Hospital (Mobay) and the Bustamante Hospital (for kids). There are several other parish hospitals that I wouldn't bet on and then there are a number of private ones.

If I had to choose one I'd pick UHWI followed by KPH. On the other hand, Cuba is close by.

Are you getting ready to leave the US?

it just doesn't work when you have a porn star going on about spanking with a rolled-up forbes and saying they could totally describe his junk and then expect people to believe a boring, poorly drafted letter denying it ever happened....

... without even bothering to address those previous claims, no apology for having made up the story or whatever.

the note looked completely like someone else wrote it, and didn't give much thought to it, either.

to get a big bonus payout on telling her story and to get financial backing to fight the NDA she signed.

I hope she has more photos and other porn stars that she knows also had sex with the Trumpster Dumpster.

Melania is probably telling Donald that if anything else comes out she leaves and tells all she knows to Mueller.

Stormy is looking to get single to double-digit millions from one side or the other.

BTW, as many others in this thread have pointed out, the denial is a fake.

Watch the Kimmel interview.

The carrot bit was hysterical.
