Gary D. Cohn, President Trump’s top economic adviser, said on Tuesday that he would resign.
Gary Cohn to Resign as Trump’s Top Economic Adviser


Here is a quote from a Gary Cohn email.

"It’s worse than you can imagine. An idiot surrounded by clowns. Trump won’t read anything – not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing. He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders because he is bored. And his staff is no better. Kushner is an entitled baby who knows nothing. Bannon is an arrogant prick who thinks he’s smarter than he is. Trump is less a person than a collection of terrible traits. No one will survive the first year but his family. I hate the work, but feel I need to stay because I’m the only person there with a clue what he’s doing. The reason so few jobs have been filled is that they only accept people who pass ridiculous purity tests, even for midlevel policy-making jobs where the people will never see the light of day.”

Sam Nunberg, who served as an adviser to then candidate Donald Trump in 2015, said Monday that he would refuse to appear before the federal grand jury investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election — and that he believes Mueller may have damning evidence against Trump.

“I think that he may have done something during the election,” Nunberg said in an afternoon interview with MSNBC’s Katy Tur, adding: “I don’t know that for sure.”

So occurring to her they only had sex one time. I don't care for Trump much but this is really a non-story.
Everyone already knew that Trump loved the ladies, so why does this matter.

Porn star, Stormy Daniels, sues Trump over nondisclosure agreement

Porn star, Stormy Daniels, sues Trump over nondisclosure agreement

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A porn star who has said she had sex with President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement that she signed days before the 2016 presidential election, which prevented her from discussing the alleged sexual encounters.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges that the agreement is "null and void and of no consequence" because Trump didn't personally sign it.

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said she wanted to go public with the details of her alleged sexual relationship with Trump in the weeks leading up to the election, according to the lawsuit. Clifford and Trump's attorney Michael Cohen signed the nondisclosure agreement on Oct. 28, 2016.

Clifford alleges that she began an "intimate relationship" with Trump in 2006 and that it continued "well into the year 2007," according to the lawsuit. She said the relationship included encounters in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and Beverly Hills, California.

Trump married his current wife, Melania Trump, in 2005.

Clifford has claimed she had sex with Trump once and then carried on a subsequent yearslong platonic relationship. She has also, through a lawyer, denied the two had an affair. Cohen has denied there was ever an affair.

Cohen has said he paid the porn actress $130,000 out of his own pocket as part of the agreement. He has also said that "neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly."

The lawsuit charges that the "hush agreement" is legally invalid because it was only signed by Clifford and Cohen. The agreement refers to Trump as David Dennison and Clifford as Peggy Peterson, but an attached exhibit details their true identities.

Clifford's lawsuit also alleges that Trump and Cohen "aggressively sought to silence Ms. Clifford as part of an effort to avoid her telling the truth, thus helping to ensure he won the Presidential Election."

"To be clear, the attempts to intimidate Ms. Clifford into silence and 'shut her up' in order to 'protect Mr. Trump' continue unabated," the lawsuit said. Clifford alleges that as recently as last week, Trump's attorney tried to initiate an arbitration proceeding against her.

Neither Cohen nor the White House immediately responded to requests for comment Tuesday evening.

If this happens, Trump scores a huge win. He will have succeeded where Obama everyone else before him failed.
Firstly, why do we think Trump's policies have anything to do with this? They may insofar as they've driven North and South Korea closer together, but the Olympics had more to do with that.

Also, we've heard this exact same song before and it didn't exactly work out.

Why do you think they don't?

The old approach wasn't working. Trump changed it up.

Sure, the Olympics might have played a part too. It's a butterfly effect. Everything effects everything.

This is how clueless libs are at this point, they actually think - after everything Trump has done and said - the fact that he banged a porn star is going to somehow damage him or his support base. Other leaders would have backed down like Obama did but he stood up to a bully and it worked, at least in my view.

The way Trump handled the NK situation made it inevitable that things would come to a head - either for good or bad. Seems like Trump's tactics worked out and he scored a big win here, if it does come through. This after people thought he was going to bring about a nuclear holocaust.

What new approach? Hostility? Accommodation and normalization? The latter was the approach during the Obama administration, but Bush took the exact same hardline tack Trump has, famously adding NK to his "axis of evil" narrative. We saw how Clinton tried to balance the two culminating in the speech above, but that backfired too. Even now, most analysts of the North agree that they will play act the disarmament process until they get much needed supplies for their populace then re-engage in nuclearization. It's a never ending shell game and Trump's proclamations on the foreign policy of this administration have been both all over the map and contradicted at times by his own Secretary of State. The official policy at present seems to be sanctions with openness to direct talks, but the North is talking with the South mostly. End of the day, I welcome less nuclear weapons in the world, but it's the two Koreas I'll be thanking if they abandon the project, not the US. It was the same with Iran during the Obama administration. Moderates in Iran won a difficult political battle. The US just rushed to claim credit while showering those moderates with gifts. Sadly, that deal may end up a bust, though Europe is desperately trying to save it.
