      I'm not sure I understand the argument that Trump is blackmailable in any meaningful sense. What secrets are there that are worse than the the known public record?

      Wha? He already gave a woman blackmail for a consensual relationship pre-dating the election. There are 3,000 things way worse than that.

      Well, I'm puzzled why he paid her off as well! I mean, there's much worse known stuff (like the Access Hollywood tape & reported assaults).

          Prevented the story from coming out just days before the election. No one would go with it after Daniels went radio silent.

          You are applying logical Jeet-thinking to reptilian Trump-thinking. Apology to reptiles.

          He paid her then so he could win the election. Also, it would be easier to get money out of him than try to control him with blackmail. He is a billionaire. I believe Trump is nearly impossible to blackmail for many reasons. But if you have something really big, maybe.

          Could it be as simple as her going public would be believable, not politically damaging, but Melania would know it was true? My guess if any "blackmail" material that is worse than what is known (then quickly ignored) it will be a trove of real financial crimes.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @emilynussbaum

          Trump ROUTINELY makes all of his employees and others sign non-disclosure & non-disparagement agreements. He often must PAY in return for people signing them. In what world can you not connect THAT fact with the likely possibility that he is blackmailable?

          As in, if the man is so obsessed, for DECADES, in controlling what people close to him say about him ... why would he NOT pay someone who had information he wanted silenced? Look at his history of lawsuits for slander and threats of lawsuits.

          Trump may well be delighted that the world knows he slept with a porn star. But he might not want her to discuss what it was like.
