If trump would just try telling
the American people the truth sometimes he could have avoided all of this from the beginning

It would help if the news just showed David Pecker's testimony. News people have been sending quotes from inside the courtroom.

A man comes to the possible president and says that he is going to protect you from women bad mouthing you, seems like the same guy that is the cause of the problem, my worry would be this does he work for a foreign country, .

Could you please explain why Trump’s actions to pay legal fees to suppress embarrassing news are a crime. I believe it is a matter of the frame of the reference used to view his actions. There are two interpretations. First, if Trump’s actions are viewed solely as supporting his election campaign, then his legal fee deductions are not legitimate business expenses. This is the view of the prosecution. A second, interpretation is that legal fees are being used to enhance Trump’s image, regardless of the fact he chose to campaign for president. Given that the Trump business is based on branding his image, this viewpoint would make the legal fee deduction a legitimate business deduction. This would make Trump’s actions consistent with legal business operations. Trump’s attorney should argue from this viewpoint.

Amazing how underhanded so many were to get this Con Man in the Whitehouse, which, if he's reelected may cost all of us our freedom. Unbelievable.
