Isn’t $150,000 Pocket Change For A Multi-billionaire? by Art Smukler, MD, author & psychiatrist

In 24 hours Trump will be on trial for trying to bury a $150,000 hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels so she’d keep quiet about their sexual-encounter. Instead of just personally giving her the money he called it a business expense.

Let’s assume that back then he was a multi-billionaire, maybe 2 billion? That’s 2,000,000 million dollars. That means that $150,000 is less than 1 thousandth of 1 percent of his net worth!

For most of us that would be like paying less than a dollar for silence.

Now he has to hear in graphic detail exactly what his penis looks like.

And this is the guy that half our country will vote for in November.

I’ve heard lots of stories in my career, but this one is way up there in the who-can-believe-such-crazy-shit stratosphere..

Thanks for reading.
