President Trump Is Having an Affair Right Now, Michael Wolff Tells Bill Maher

Source: The Daily Beast

The only reason Wolff didn’t put it in ‘Fire and Fury’ is that he “didn’t have the blue dress.”
Matt Wilstein
01.19.18 10:52 PM ET

The last time we saw Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time, he was defending his friend Al Franken and condemning his ideological enemy Roy Moore. Three months later, neither man is serving in the U.S. Senate and the government is on the verge of a possible shutdown.

As the Senate began to vote on a continuing resolution to keep the government open, Maher kicked things off by wishing his audience a happy new year, or as he called 2018, “the year of the shithole.” The host summed up Trump’s immigration position with one question: “Why can’t we do immigration more like the way I got Melania, by using a catalogue?”

But the main event of Maher’s first show back came in the form of a sit-down with Michael Wolff, author of Fire and Fury, the book that managed to make Trump’s White House even more chaotic during the first few weeks of the new year.

“Well, you have done the impossible, you’ve made America read again,” Maher told Wolff at the top of their interview. Since Wolff has done so many TV appearances over the past few weeks, Maher asked him for one detail from the book that he’s surprised no one has picked up on yet.

Nikki Haley. There's a chapter towards the end of Fire and Fury that reads:

"By October, many on the president's staff took particular notice of one of the few remaining Trump opportunists: Nikki Haley - the UN Ambassador. Haley - 'as ambitious as Lucifer' in the characterisation of one member of the senior staff - had concluded that Trump's tenure would last, at best, a single term and that she, with requisite submission, could be his heir apparent. Haley had courted and befriended Ivanka, and Ivanka had brought her into the family circle, where she had become a particular focus of Trump's attention, and he of hers."

stop her from having an affair before. Didn't this come out during her re-election campaign? No wonder tRump spends so much time in his bedroom! He knows (or thinks he knows) he is not being videotaped in there.

I think Haley was the one who removed it from the Statehouse.
His accusations resulted in her biggest day of fundraising & probably helped her win the election.

And he's often paraded her around as a token of hotness. There are numerous examples of him telling people how hot and sexy his daughter is. Plus there's all the creepy sugar daddy pictures they took together.

I'm not saying he's in an incestuous relationship with his daughter, but he does dote on her in a very creepy and suggestive way.

He has a history of cheating. Let's not forget he's currently married to the mistress of his mistress, and he's already cheated on her with two porn stars. The guy's libido is out of control and he uses his celebrity, wealth, and power to let his sexual desires run wild.

The same people who supported and voted for a child molester will support him no matter what he does. I really think the republicans have taken Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment to speak no ill of other republicans to its inevitable conclusion...if you're a republican, the first 10 Commandments don't matter.

We’re reaping the rewards of tribal politics, a.k.a. “My politician can do no wrong, but yours is the next Hitler!”

Nothing can damage him now. He has a cult of die-hards who put his words over anything, including their own children. If he said jump, you’d see a barrage of people falling off your nearest bridge. They don’t think - he does the thinking for them.

There could be a pornographic video of Trump in the act (barf!), and they would claim that it was a body double.

This isn’t just a Trump problem, or a Republican problem. It’s a vile disease in this country’s psyche. I have no doubt that some Democrats would behave the same way towards someone they have an unhealthy attachment to. Draw and quarter me for saying it if you want - if we don’t change, we’re fucked.
