    One of Trump's problems is that many of the people who have the worst dirt on him (starting with Manafort) would need more than $15K a month to be bought off.

        Also the deals are rescindable at any time, apparently, so—um—why agree to that?

        Well, if you're the not-Trump party to the deal, aren't you then free to go peddle your story somewhere and try to recoup the lost of $180,000/year? Of course, there'd be some overhead involved, like, say, if Sekulow sued you on the regime's behalf.

        Pro tip: David Pecker/NatEnq is not a viable place to peddle a story you want told. I know we should all know this by now, but still.

        But... But Trump is a super-successful gazillionaire who can afford to pay hush money to the entire Planet Earth and buy 12 more planets, but he doesn’t need to because he can negotiate his way out of this mess & is starting a Space Force to dominate the aliens of Uranus & MAGA

        $15K's not even enough for a single elephant tusk ivory button for an ostrich jacket.

        Seven-figure Trump would have to launder a lot of money to raise the cash needed! (How many failing golf courses can one bankrupt man buy with cash before raising suspicion?)

        The million dollar penalty per instance of disclosure, in the NDA, would seem like a strong disincentive.

        Trump, Inc has a tremendous appetite for cash. Lots of it from the GOP, some Federal hotel spending, and foreign emoluments.

        I wonder if that is what Andrew Miller and Roger Stone are holding out for, a VIP ride on the RNC gravy train for the rest of their lives.
