Rumours are circulating that documentation showing US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian prostitutes engaging in sexual shenanigans has surfaced. The media, of course, is running with it. What is it about sex that creates such a scandal?
Does no one remember the exploits of JFK, Eliot Spitzer, Bill (I never had sexual relations with that woman) Clinton, and Arnold (impregnating the family nanny), Schwarzenegger, just to name a few? Does anybody care about these transgressions after the dust settles? Spitzer did resign as Governor of New York, but Bill Clinton still makes millions of dollars as a motivational speaker and Schwarzenegger is still Governor of California.
Are these allegations about Trump enough to boot him out of office? Don’t get me wrong, I find Trump’s behaviour reprehensible and disgusting. Did everyone not know before and during the electoral process what an immoral, rude, crass, egotistical person he is? I guess anyone who voted for him did not think those qualities should prevent him from becoming the president of the United States.
Hopefully, further investigation will come up with something more incriminating than lewd sexual acts with a few prostitutes. Maybe this current scandal is a coverup for something much more sinister and dangerous, starting with election fraud, lucrative business (real estate) deals, and/or leaking of security details to and from the Kremlin.
I am betting we have just seen the tip of the iceberg! Regardless, who really cares about the (alleged) activities between Trump and Russian prostitutes? Not me! Not that I like the man but this is just another sad example of mud-slinging politics.
Hell we don’t even know if the sex acts were lewd or for that matter if the files exist and I’m with you disgusting and reprehensible but, as you pointed out, hardly new for a president; basically of any Country.
History will show us if this is the tip of the iceberg but shucks; I’d not impeach over this; economic shenanigans and out right fraud are different matters. Thanx for a good and thought provoking post. ~~dru~~
.its a lot more intriguing than boring old usurption of governments.
makes for a handy smoke screen. Every day it’s like living within a rather trashy spy novel. Meanwhile…in Poland…
my thoughts exactly….I think people have run into traitorous situations before for a lot less. more than likely more stupidity than evil intent but who knows. as I said in today’s poem, in my opinion the version circulating is so ridiculous and also timewise…unlikely. one thing for sure, theres never a dead moment. 🙂
I don’t believe Trump was messing around with other women. If that were the case, we would have heard about his exploits back when he was only a successful businessman. Besides, why was nothing made of obama whispering in Putin’s ear a few years ago? This is merely the media trying to discredit Trump because they don’t want a Republican as president. I like Trump and think he will do our country good.
