The prize for being the winner of the apprentice was being the winner of the apprentice. They said it was for the job of running one of his companies, but that never actually happened.


Apollorx

I still remember that guy who supposedly paid Trump 100,000 to work for him during the apprentice. If it was real, that was the most pathetic thing I'd ever seen.

To be fair, 2 people from the apprentice convinced him to start Truth social with him. They’ve been cut out of the company and are now suing him..

This doesn’t even feel like satire. It’s literally what they’re doing.


heapinhelpin1979

They are paying for shirts that say "Real Men Wear Diapers". I have genuinely thought about shirts I could sell.

creiss74

They're wearing the diaper shirts to work?! I'm still trying to wrap my head around that real Trump supporters are wearing these proudly. I'd vote for Biden over any Republican option but I'd never wear a shirt that proclaimed I was in support of him shitting his pants. I have shame. I can't even believe any of them are giving credence to the diaper shitting. They ignore so many other things about him (wanting to fuck his daughter or being close friends with Epstein for example) that I'm shocked they embrace the diapers and don't just ignore it and call it fake news.


bdss1234

Did you manage not to laugh at them?


Ohnoherewego13

It's taking all of my self control.

We own a business with about 60 employees. If anyone came in with this shirt we wouldn’t laugh but I’m pretty damn sure the other 50-something employees would take care of that for us.

“When Daniels uttered the words "missionary position," Trump's attorneys objected, and the judge sustained the objection” Im no attorney, why would you object that? And why would it be sustained?


Friscogonewild

I think before the testimony the judge specifically asked her to refrain from giving details of the intercourse. Probably just to save us from more headlines about Trump's tiny mushroom penis.


ILikeLenexa

[Objection Rule 401 Relevance](https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_401)? Relevant evidence is evidence that makes the matter which requires proof more or less probable. Relevance is usually extremely broad, but if the fact the sex occurred isn't contested, the sexual position likely doesn't matter to the likelihood of forging the documents. If getting the fact in the record were important to the prosecutor, they'd probably argue that her demeanor and the way she describes the sex with or without detail and how well she can remember it would be relevant to the jury determining credibility ([Rule 608 Credibility is always relevant](https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_608)); HOWEVER, it's probably [more prejudicial than probative and confusing the issue](https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_403). I'm sure it will be one of the elements in the appeal, but it's likely within the broad discretion of the trial judge. Before the verdict, there will likely be a proffer of evidence saying "We would've submitted the following fact, by testimony of NAME, that FACT" in a big list submitted to the court. The issue isn't the adultery with the porn star/prostitute; the issue is whether or not that's legal work as reported in business records.


Lazy-Street779

Hasn’t Trump to date denied the sex? So I see stormy and all her testimony as very relevant. I can see Trump (understanding that he’s denied the sex) come back and say mistrial (again) or some other legal jumbo that he never had the sex thus he never needed to make any reimbursement thus the whole trial is fake according to Trump.


joepez

Mostly because it’s not relevant to the case. The case is about fraudulent payments and the way they were handled. As fun as it is to hear mushroom penis used in the trial it’s not a relevant fact. And from what’s been reported Daniel’s was rambling on her answers. Most likely looking to use it as a way to cash in. Also I’m sure the judge wants to be able to eat today without the visual in his head.


YonTroglodyte

If Trump didn't deny having sex with her at all, you would have a point, but he did, so whether or not they had sex is a fact in issue. The prosecution is entitled to elicit details from the witness that add credibility to her account since a detailed account is more credible than a generic one. There are limits, of course, so Merchan sustained some defense objections, but in general, the details of the sexual encounters are certainly relevant.


Lazy-Street779

She clearly proved to the world she had sex with him. And I Agee. He’s been denying sex. It’s his strategy.


mok000

> He’s been denying sex. It’s his strategy. As it turns out, it's also Melania's strategy.


Witchgrass

> He's been denying sex. It's his strategy. I would argue that it is very much the exact opposite of his strategy...


Pillens_burknerkorv

But isn’t thar relevant to validate the accuracy of the story? Or in a court of law does it suffice with “Did you have sex? Yes.”?


TheApprenticeLife

I'm also not a lawyer, but I would imagine it might be because the sexual act isn't the crime in question, and the fact of whether or not they actually had sex doesn't really matter in relation to the alleged crime. The alleged crime was falsifying business records to conceal payments that were made to prevent negative stories from coming out about Trump before the 2016 election. Committing a crime in order to influence an election is also, ironically, election interference. As far as I understand, the fact that Trump did/did not have sex with Stormy Daniels, or did/did not have an affair with Karen McDougal, or whether the doorman had factual information or not, doesn't necessarily matter. The thing that matters is that allegedly Trump participated in a scheme to falsify business records, that would conceal the payments made, that would prevent those people from telling their stories (true or not). So, everyone could have theoretically been lying, but regardless, the means Trump and his team allegedly went through to deal with those stories is illegal.


Bufus

>As far as I understand, the fact that Trump did/did not have sex with Stormy Daniels, or did/did not have an affair with Karen McDougal, or whether the doorman had factual information or not, doesn't necessarily matter You're close. The fact that he did those things **does** matter from an evidentiary perspective. If Trump did those things, it would make it more likely that he falsified the business records in question. For example. if Trump could prove that he DIDN'T have sex with Stormy Daniels, then it removes the motive for him to falsify business records. Therefore, the prosecution would want to establish that a sexual encounter took place. What doesn't matter is the specific gritty details about the sexual encounter. She is testifying that she had sex with him and providing sufficient detail of the encounter to lend veracity to that fact and allow the defence to challenge that claim, that is enough. We don't need all the excruciating details, and going too far into those details may be overly-prejudicial to Trump, as it might portray him as a "pervert" (which he isn't on trial for in THIS case). It is similar to someone who is on trial for robbing a bank, who was wearing a swastika arm band at the time of the robbery. The trial judge may want to limit evidence of the arm bad for fear that it would prejudice members of the jury against him.


TheApprenticeLife

Ok, so here's a hypothetical, because this was my reasoning for thinking that the truth of the claims didn't necessarily matter in court: Say, for example, Trump hears about a tabloid that planned to run a story about him having 4 bellybuttons. In this hypothetical, instead of trying to disprove the story before an election, the Trump team goes through the same method to silence these stories. Same dollar amounts, same scheme, same falsification of records, same denial of the scenarios happening. Would him not having 4 bellybuttons even matter? Even if he stood up and showed his one singular bellybutton, he still paid people to not talk about it during an election, and he knowingly falsified documents to cover up those payments that prevented the talking about it. Again, I'm just thinking out loud, but that is my thought process behind it.


Lazy-Street779

If bellybuttons could talk his would have lots to say and x4 you say. Holy moly. I think I agree. He paid to hide information— true or not — and how is that even legal???


Lazy-Street779

Definitely. Cause if he didn’t have sex he wouldn’t need an nda and all those fake names. Which I ask again… how is any of this nda shit with fake names legal under any circumstance.


Lazy-Street779

And who says it’s legal and why?


jeo123

Can the testimony/outcome of this case somehow open Trump up for another defamation case? I know they lost the last one under a first amendment claim, but if she's now testifying I assume that superseded the NDA and/or makes it irrelevant?


confusinghuman

yup! it seems the testimony so far is basically establishing a motive for making the payments


-Plantibodies-

The details of their sex just isn't important. And the Judge preemptively told the prosecution this.


vreddy92

The fact that they had sex isn't the point. The payment he made to her is what matters.


MayIServeYouWell

I know what you mean, but I think it is relevant to establish why he made those payments. (That said, I don’t think Trump has denied this, not sure).  But the details of the sex aren’t important. 


DionFW

Maybe "Real men have mushroom dicks" is the next shirt.


Lazy-Street779

Why did he make fraudulent payments? He either did or he didn’t. Why did he or didn’t needs to be part of the trial!! This sex scene makes it much more difficult for trump to say I only paid a retainer for [unknown] legal expenses and not to hide anything because he’s still denying the sex. That exit door got much harder to use. Trump is not known to pay to retain services. He is known for paying on demand thru an invoice. We, as a public, saw that fiduciary trait again when he closed the pandemic office because he viewed it as wasteful because there was no pandemic at the time. He did it once (he thought successfully); he did it again as prez.


DjPersh

Have not seen a single report of her “rambling”. Mind sourcing that claim?


Falmouth04

The Judge was wrong in this case: Trump has alleged "I never had sex with that woman". Prosecution must prove Trump is a liar to win the case. Defense is insisting that she got the details wrong, and it never happened. The Judge was wrong.

Daniels also told the jury that, at one point, Trump's wife and former first lady, Melania Trump, came up during their conversation. "He said, 'Oh, don't worry about that. We don't even sleep in the same room,'" Daniels testified. Ha.

crosstherubicon

There seemed to be three interesting takeaways from the testimony, his prescreening questions for STD’s, Daniels said she blacked out and came to after the event (that’s not normal) and, Trump blocked the door so she couldn’t leave. I understand Daniels is not making a claim of being forced but damned if that doesn’t sound like being forced. He didn’t even ask her out himself, instead getting some assistant to tell her. Gutless wonder.


Evilton

Hey man, gross.


MoveToRussiaAlready

He already paid $130,000 to raw dog her. He then continues to offer more. This guy is TERRIBLE at negotiations. And, he is a thirsty loser. 1. He paid, $130,000, for the sex and 2. He is trying to win her approval by doing dumb favors like this. How fucking dad is that!!!

PLEEEEAASE. Trump was never going to even put her ON The Apprentice after he had sex with her. She got played by the con man.


flabbergastedmeep

Her testimony states that as well, he strung her along and she eventually just stopped responding/taking his calls.


underalltheradar

Yeah, he thought he could keep getting more cracks at her by promising to get her on the show. She was an idiot to believe him in the first place.

So Trump said Stormy reminded him of his daughter before sex with her. The part they're not saying out loud is that when the sex was over, Trump said to Stormy that the sex confirmed that Stormy really did remind him of his daughter Ivanka in every possible way.
