Trump: Hush money payments 'came from me,' would be 'dicey' otherwise

[phands]

The orange shitgibbon can't keep his lies straight....

President Trump on Wednesday denied that campaign funds were ever used to arrange hush money payments to two women who claimed to have had affairs with him prior to the 2016 presidential election, a day after his personal attorney Michael Cohen told a federal court he made both payments at the direction of then-candidate Trump.
In an interview set to air Thursday, the president told Fox News he knew of the payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal "later on," but claimed they were not funded by his campaign coffers.
"They didn't come out of the campaign, they came from me," Trump said, noting that he previously admitted to having knowledge of the payments in a tweet he sent earlier this summer. At the time, the president said Cohen "received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract" with Daniels (whose real name is Stephanie Clifford).

"The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair," Trump had tweeted, reiterating that "money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction."

My bold...the man is too stupid to breathe.

Well, it's nice that he makes an official statement admitting guilt for the crimes he's being accused of. This is efficient usage of taxpayer dollars by avoiding having prosecutors take the time to prove the commission of the crimes.

The video doesn't actually tell us much new, other than I think he admits payments were made maybe, it is so hard to keep up with every different story he comes up with. Also, we learn than he likes to repeat the word campaign a lot... and while doing that contradict himself saying that if the money came from the campaign (his first question once he found out about it), that'd be "dicey", but in the very next sentence explains how it wouldn't be a problem even if it was from the campaign... LOOK OBAMA!!!!

So Cohen isn't a liar.

Thanks, Donnie.

And if he made the payment on a Tuesday with personal funds that were once campaign funds but then weren't campaign funds, it would be a Royal Fizzbin!

Trump is admitting that he paid hush money to women making false claims that they had affairs with him. So it is puzzling that he has not yet paid a dime to Stephen Colbert, who has also made a false claim of having an affair with Trump.
