Didn't he pay off a former pornstar tons of money to stay quiet about having sex with him? Doesn't seem implausible when he's already paid millions in hush money to keep embarassing personal info from leaking.
- cm2187 8y agoSo then blackmailing seems to be a viable strategy! Merely pointing at the contradiction.
- blattimwind 8y agoActually... yes. If you got some (obviously very narcisstic) person that's known to have paid (a lot) of hush money, then that person likely is a viable target for blackmail.
- jorblumesea 8y agoThe issue isn't that blackmail works or doesn't work, it's that it only works on some people. Trump is an obvious and clear candidate for blackmail, given his personality. Bezos is not.
- jki275 8y agoAnd that worked so well she wrote a book about it...
- ceejayoz 8y agoIt would've continued to work just fine if Trump hadn't run for President. Breaking the NDA doesn't make financial sense when he's a C-list celebrity; it does when he's suddenly the President.
- jki275 8y agoTrump hasn't been a "c-list celebrity" ever. He's been a very famous and very well known celebrity for over four decades. Even the left used to like him until he ran for president.
