Millions of Americans Demand $130,000 for Not Having Sex with Trump

Millions of Americans Demand $130,000 for Not Having Sex with Trump

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Millions of Americans on Wednesday demanded that Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, issue them checks in the amount of $130,000 for not having sex with Trump. After Cohen revealed that he had issued such a check to Stormy Daniels, a porn star who he claims never had intimate relations with his client, there was widespread outrage among other Americans who had also not had sex with Trump but had not been paid for not doing so.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for Stormy Daniels,” Tracy Klugian, a florist in Santa Rosa, California, said. “I just want my check, too.”

Harland Dorrinson, a bank teller in Akron, Ohio, said that he had already e-mailed Cohen to demand payment. “I have never come close to having sex with Trump, and that should be worth something,” he said. “Specifically, $130,000.”

But, even as millions of Americans clamored to be compensated for abstaining from sex with Cohen’s client, others, like Carol Foyler, of Tallahassee, Florida, took a different view. “Never having sex with Donald Trump should be a reward in itself,” she said.

The payoff was for not talking about it.

Sorry to say, but first you have to have sex with Orange Man, then you get the payoff.

I can't think of anything more disgusting than having that blob of orange suet sweating and panting on top of me, and if I had to I'd pay to avoid it. It would be a sort of anti-prostitution.

But at least suet can provide nourishment to our feathered friends. BLOTUS provides NOTHING to others....EVER.

If I hung him in one of my trees, all my lovelies would leave the county and a flock of buzzards would suddenly appear.

Thanks, you just reminded me I need to put out suet cakes!

Or was the 130K the last installment of an agreed amount back in 2006. Also, if Ms Daniels broke the confidentiality agreement signed in exchange for payment what could possibly happen to her?

Daniels should just spill the sopa ( details, gossip) and write a tell all book, sell movie rights, hell would make a salacious Spanish novela, where in the end (novelas end unlike our American soap operas) the evil powerful group, person always get their just rewards.

She was shopping her story around to various outlets. She probably didn't have a lot of offers, certainly none exceeding $130k.

She just signed up with the highest bidder. She could have held out a little longer, but the day after election day her story would be worth a whole lot less, especially since most people thought he would lose.

I mean I'm a straight but even if I was gay I'd still think sex with Trump would be repulsive.
