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.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SCIENCE AND LOGIC? by Art Smukler, MD, author & psychiatrist

Ask Trump, DeSantis, Robt. Kennedy, Marjorie Taylor Green, Kari Lake, Giuliani and one of my personal favorites “the pillow guy”. 

I’d call them sleezeballs (I respectfully use the term in a regression to my Philadelphia roots but I’d be afraid that my Philly friends wouldn’t want their city besmirched); so I’ll just think it. 

Oh yeah. I also wish that the former US presidents, Taylor Swift, and the Kelce brothers would defend democracy. Since I have only several hundred followers, we need all the Swifties, Eagles’ fans, Chiefs’ fans, and logical Republicans and Democrats to educate the anti-science group. 

I am so angry. Maybe a juicy Philly steak sandwich and a mustard pretzel will help?

Let’s hear it for South Street and Geno’s Steaks. Fly Eagles Fly!

Thanks, Art
