OK, let's give this a few minutes again, shall we...

“Look at the facts… Paid off porn star… Russia lies… Racism… Children in cages… Conspiracy theories.”
Stormy Daniels eventually admitted she never actually had an affair with "My orange hero"
Source on that?
So why did he pay her USD 130,000 from campaign funds?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Da ... ite_note-1
"
Daniels later signed a statement witnessed by both her lawyer and publicist denying that she had an affair with Trump."
(check the link in that article for more info if you like, also google is your friend)
And it wasn't Trump who paid the $130K, it was Cohen.
(Remember?
Cohen was the one convicted of wrongdoing, not "My orange hero")
Crazy Mika... and apparently you... are still accusing Donny of things he has long been cleared!
Apparently Cohen paid her off because he couldn't get ahold of Don in the midst of the hectic campaign.
(Stormy came out of the woodwork a few weeks before the election, threatening to go public with her lies)
OK, couple of things...
1) Mika (is that her name?) stated that Trump
paid off a porn star.
Not that he had an affair with said porn star.
Cohen paid Stormy 130,000 in hush money on Donnie's behalf.
Donnie later reimbursed Cohen, thus confirming that it was on his behalf.
Thus the statement can be confirmed to be true.
2) Checking your source, the written statement that she had not had a relationship with Trump was mentioned in an article published on Jan 31st 2018.
On March 25th, 2018, Stormy was on 60 minutes, confirming that she had met with Trump twice, but only had sex with him on the first occassion, after first spanking him with a copy of Forbes magazine. She also mentioned that her former business advisor/lawyer had forced her to sign several false statements about her relations with Trump. Possibly referring to those mentioned in the article on Jan 31st?
(this is on the same wikipedia page you linked to)
So yeah, she obviously had sex with him. Why else would he have paid her the hush money?
And why would anyone claim to have had sex with Trump if it weren't true? It's not something you'd be proud of.
If it were political she would not have taken the hsh money to begin with.
3) (Remember?
Cohen was the one convicted of wrongdoing, not "My orange hero")
Ah, but that is just because the consitution protects a sitting president from prosecution.
When campaign finance violations are punished, they typically result in fines by the Federal Election Commission that are pegged to the size of the unlawful contribution or expenditure. The Justice Department can also prosecute willful violations of election laws, or willful false statements on the federal personal financial disclosure forms, which are felonies and can result in up to five years in prison.
There is little chance that the department would file charges against Mr. Trump, regardless of what the evidence shows, because its Office of Legal Counsel has opined that the Constitution makes sitting presidents immune from prosecution.
But Mr. Cohen, after the raid last month, is under intense legal pressure.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/03/us/p ... ssues.html
Once Donnie is out of office, the prosecutor can choose to charge him for the same offences that Cohen was committed of doing on his behalf, if the statute of limitations has not expired by that time, that is.
From the verdict of Cohen it seems pretty clear that the alleged crimes against campaign finance laws were committed. Now, whether or not Trump was aware of the specifics of what the money went for, he knew he owed Cohen money, but failed to report this loan to the Federal Election Committe. If the loan was
not campaign related (which the verdict against Cohen seems to conclude it was), he would have had to report it to the Office of Government Ethics instead:
As a government employee, Mr. Trump is also required to report any liabilities in excess of $10,000 on a financial disclosure form filed with the Office of Government Ethics. His 2017 form — which he signed in June, certifying it was “true, complete and correct” — does not list any outstanding loan from Mr. Cohen, campaign-related or otherwise.
We'll see. From my understanding there are a lot of criminal investigations against Donnie in the pipeline, just waiting for him to get out of office.

… no Russia lies,
Uhm... some seven, iirc, people with ties to the Trump campaign have been convicted in a court of law for lying about Russia.
But you know better?
AGAIN
...
President Trump had nothing to do with that!
Trump had NOTHING to do with the Trump election campaign????!!!!!
You're accusing him of being a... uhm... sock puppet...? Marionette...? Manchurian candidate...?
Seriously, I didn't think you had it in you.
AGAIN... Mika was accusing "My orange hero" of "Russia lies".
As you know, this has been thoroughly investigated and Lord Trump came out smelling like a rose...
Sure... I know there are some yellow roses that really smell like shit.
And again, there was ample evidence that the Russians interfered with the election to benefit Trump.
What they had problems proving was that the Russian actions were coordinated with the Trump campaign.
Yet they found enough evidence of wrong doing to put some of his cronies behind bars, albeit he has of course pardoned several of them already...
Once again, they can not prosecute a sitting president, so any charges in a court of law will have to wait till he is out of office.
There was an attempt to go the impeachment route, but the senate voted strictly according to party line, so there was never any real attempt to actually evaluate the matter at hand. Bet the founding fathers are spinning in their graves.
Just as we all know Bill Clinton did have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, we also all know that Trump did collude with Russia.
The impeachment system does not work. The founding fathers had never intended for a two party system, but thought each senator would be elected on personal merits. The way it is now, the senate can not function as the impartial court the founding fathers had intended.

(btw just how the fuck does one twist "the birtherism (sic) shit" into something racist?)
If you cannot see how racist that is, to ridiculously claim that a non white candidate cannot be a true American, then I don't really see the point in discussing this. But I assume that you are, per usual, just trolling, so here goes...
Has any white presidential candidate ever had his birth certificate questioned?
His mother was from effing Kansas.
Got knocked up by an exchange student at college.
Why the hell would she go to Kenya to give birth?
Never mind that the father already had a wife in Kenya... so he
surely wouldn't want to bring her there...
It is so ridiculously stupid no sane person would ever give it the time of the day.
But it works just fine as a racist dog whistle for nefarious political motives.
And of course Trump would go there.
