It seems that old Donald Trump just can’t stay out of trouble, can he? From scandalous affairs to shady dealings, he’s back in the spotlight with yet another controversy brewing.
Just when you thought the Stormy Daniels saga was as scandalous as it could get, a new bombshell drops about a potential love child. It’s a wonder he still has any supporters left.
During Trump’s recent criminal trial in New York, David Pecker, the former publisher of The National Enquirer, spilled the beans about his role as Trump’s gatekeeper. Allegedly, a doorman from the Trump Organization approached the tabloid in 2015 with a tip about Trump having fathered a child out of wedlock with a former employee. But true to form, Trump and his team of fixers sprang into action to bury the scandal before it could tarnish his 2016 presidential campaign.
According to Pecker, the doorman was paid $30,000 to keep quiet, with the threat of owing $1 million if he broke their Non-Disclosure Agreement.
But did Trump really father an illegitimate child? Given his history of multiple marriages and extramarital affairs, it’s not beyond belief. After all, this is the same man who reportedly paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 for her silence. And Trump’s questionable remarks about his own daughter certainly don’t help his case when it comes to honesty.
Let’s not forget the other women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct over the years. From the infamous Access Hollywood tape to numerous harassment allegations, it’s clear that he has a troubling pattern of behavior.
However, the rumors of a love child remain unproven. The former employee allegedly involved has denied the claims as fake. But given Trump’s track record, it’s hard to give him the benefit of the doubt.
It’s astonishing that there are still people out there who support Trump despite these scandals. But then again, nothing seems to shake their loyalty to him, no matter how shocking the revelations may be.
