These kinds of articles really bother me. We already know Trump is a flawed man. Why do his or any other candidates indiscretions/affairs need to be put out for public consumption. It’s so disrespectful to Melania and his family! And yes! I 100% agree that if this took place his disrespect and betrayal is far worse! I just hate to see her publicly shamed when so many on the left are already so ugly to her!

Completely agree!!

The bottom line is we knew they would try to put out negative stuff about Trump before the election. JK Trotter writes for The Daily Beast and Gawker so consider the source. I honestly don't care if Trump had an affair and/or impregnated her. At this point it is irrelevant. And I watched the interview and she is as hard on him as they all are over at MSNBC. Trump has to be the single MOST investigated, researched politician who ever lived. If this is all they've got, it's over. It smells like desperation. sabrinalabow.substack.com

It's the "forced abortion" which troubles me the most.

Hard to know if any of it is true. The timing of this is circumspect.

Forced? How do we know "forced" . I would have thought if that was his style, then there would not be a Tiffany Trump. Tamron had a lot to lose on her own with a potential scandalous pregnancy.

Yawn. Funny how these “cheating” scandals always come out days before an election. This is the first I’ve heard of this one. Not a fan of cheating, and Lord knows he, along with pretty much everyone in DC/Hollywood, cheat. It’s gross and disgusting. Bill Clinton was the king cheater and yet everyone on the left still thinks he’s god.

Doesn’t matter in the big picture. Will he resolve the wars? Yes. Will he stop the invasion of illegals? Yes. Will he actually help the American people? Yes. Will he continue to shed light on the evil regime? Yes.

I didn’t vote for a pastor today. I voted for Donald J Trump.

We're writing about this and not Doug Emhoff?

Yes. I’ve written about Doug too.

Jessica, I'd like to read that article. Can you tell me about when you wrote it? I scrolled back through a bit but can't find it. I think it's such a strange story.

I looked at every article from July until today. I don’t see one article about Harris, Walz, or Emhoff scandals. Maybe IG stories?

Maybe there are none about them.

He maybe, possibly, had an “affair” (not our marriage not our business) with a reporter before he decided to run for office? Why do we care about this?

My first thought was- totally inappropriate - 'but this should end the "racist" bs. ' If someone writes for The Daily Beast, they have zero credibiity in my mind (I've actually been involved with a Dateline that The Daily Beast covered and they attributed some funky quotes to me when I had no idea I was being quoted). How did this not come up during his first run? That's when I started paying attention to politics. What a shameful situation if true - and more shameful if not. I'd believe this affair before I'd believe him touching E. Carroll, but he has too much to lose to be this careless. I believe he's done some stupid shit but this - nah.

When we look at history, all of our president's and political leaders are flawed in some way. They just have to try to be flawless in serving the American people.

Even if it’s true, it’s not worse than Kamala’s proven, public affair with Willie Brown. None of this affects the election. How about we report on things that matter instead of rumor and innuendo?

How about we loosen up and accept coverage of all candidates when it comes to sec scandals etc. trump supporters need to lighten up, too.

It’s an interesting story based on a long standing rumor. Exactly what I’d cover about anyone in politics.

So where is the timeline that is referenced in the article? Having trouble following.

Expand full comment

A rumour of a rumour of a rumour by a reporter no one has heard of. Yeah. That’s solid.

I do NOT CARE!!!!! Investigate that nasty women-beating nanny-screwing Emhoff!! Post the rumors about Tampon Tim and his diddling of teenage boys!!! SICK OF THIS SHIT!!!

i'm worried that you are just bringing this to the forefront again because you have been accused of being biased toward him and you are trying to prove something. did you cave to the pressure? seems like awfully bad timing if you really think Trump would be best for America

I read Trotter's Substack. Those are some pretty threadbare claims. Just because she hardly mentions his name in public? Just because they were friends and she used his Gucci account? It is very, very speculative. There is no actual data in there. And to find Trump's private cell phone number and call him? What a jerk! haha

I think we’re weary of the trump bashing. It’s been a long year. Nothing the other side seems to matter so this shouldn’t either. He’s had way more than his share of bashing and attempts on his life. Leave the man alone.

Trump is not a politician by trade. He led a life of a "very rich man", in which a lot of "very rich men" have arrangements with their wives for this kind of thing. We don't know what his and Melania's terms for their marriage are, nor is it truly any of our business. It is between them.

Lifetime politicians having affairs is a little trickier as we have national security/secrets that may cause blackmailing, etc that may cause complications. I think their past behavior lends a tad more transparency. But Trump was not one of them at the time. Let's move on.

So in one area it says Donald Trump Jr. and in others Donald Trump. Either way, I couldn’t care less! I’m voting for him to fix our country-not to sleep with or marry him! Melania now has another heart ache to deal with.
