Report: Trump Allegedly Paid Hush Money For Eight Abortions


?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1095376114627809280&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2F247sports.com%2Fcollege%2Fmichigan-state%2FBoard%2F97%2FContents%2FREPORT-Trump-paid-hush-for-8-abortions-129057861%2F

The only thing that would be surprising about this report if proven true is that the number was only 8, I would have guessed 40.

Too bad it wasn't a few more and the world could have been spared Uday and Kusay.

Want him to bring on the "end of times" so they can be raptured up, or for some, just be the only ones saved on earth while everyone who doesn't believe as they do, will die. For them trump is their only hope of seeing the world destroyed and millions of unbelievers dead!

women was Maleria? He has a preference for "pay to play" females. It would be interesting to discover how many of them lied about the pregnancy, for the cash. He is not exactly a babe magnet, most women go for his money.

Evangelicals that continue to support Trump, thinking that he's comparable to Cyrus...are the false prophets, as described in their own holy book!

They speak the words, but are themselves agents of Lucifer, they seek power, wealth, and control...and in accordance with their mythology will burn for eternity...

We've heard that Trump doesn't like condoms, which would fit his self-indulgent personality. He probably would rather take a risk and pay for an abortion and/or a "catch and release" story. He is so stingy when it comes to his workers, but has no problem paying off women for sexual encounters.

Of course, it never would have occurred to him to use a condom. Instead he takes his chances and pays (probably forces the women) for abortions instead.

He was a big-time playboy in the 70's, had affairs in the 80's, 90's, and 00's, and dated a lot while he was separated. He could never keep it in his pants.

This exposed while he demonizes others and projects lies about abortions when he was involved in having them done too. When he attacks others always use that to judge him with, because its more than likely something he's been involved in doing too.

That’s a line from the movie, Uforia (1985) where an evangelical Christian is asked how he can work for a con man preacher (played by Harry Dean Stanton). His above reply has become much more relevant since 2016.

A couple of things:

1) How does a germaphobe have unprotected sex repeatedly?

2) How does anybody have sex with him? Is it just b/c he's famous?
