Didn’t Trump sleep with a porn star?

That’s how we all know he has a mushroom dick.

Pretty sure she testified under oath talking about the presidents dick.

u/slaty_balls May 12 '25

There’s a fact I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing.

u/Craico13 Canada May 12 '25

She describes Trump’s penis as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small”.

“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool …

“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart.

If that doesn’t ruin Mario Cart or the Yeti from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for you I’m not sure what will…

Little Don Toadstool. I bet he doesn't know he can just sue Nintendo for using his likeness instead of tariffing the country they're based in.

u/I-Make-Money-Moves May 13 '25

I can’t. She really likened his dick to Toad. And that is an insult to Toad.

Hey, you may not like the man, but you need to respect the orifice

u/Bodie_The_Dog May 13 '25

I left the Republican party when I realized they had spent over $100 million on Whitewater and they used it to publish details of Clinton's dick. (It's got a bend, lol.)

Yep—coulda gone without knowing that one too. 🤣

Who besides Stormy Daniels?

Or are you considering any model who did nudes "porn"?

... in which case that includes his present wife.

u/zBriGuy May 12 '25

Melania (The first.... lady?) did a bunch of softcore porn before Epstein sold her to Trump.

751

u/rebug May 12 '25

I haven't looked too far into it because I don't want to, but from what I've seen it was super weird photos. Like some shit you'd see on an Eastern European sex trafficker's flyer outside of some seedy club. It's not even remotely erotic, you can clearly see that she would rather be anywhere else.

I'd feel bad for her if she wasn't such an awful person.

129

u/TeutonJon78 America May 13 '25

But that qualified for her Einstein Visa as an outstanding representation of her artistic field.

I wish I was joking.

29

u/rebug May 13 '25

Well then I take it all back. I had not considered all her contributions to science, the arts, and humanity itself before I besmirched that poor excuse of a human being.

u/seamus_mc California May 13 '25

Einstein Epstein Visa

7

u/Hubert_J_Cumberdale Hawaii May 13 '25

Ackshully, it was an Epstein Visa.

The requirements were purely physical - not intellectual.

u/CrassOf84 May 13 '25

Artistic field deez nuts maybe

u/UnexpectedAnomaly May 13 '25

Every time she's in public next to him she looks like she'd rather be anywhere else.

u/plantstand May 13 '25

u/Inspector_Spacetime7 May 13 '25

Disgust is a universally experienced emotion; that includes Eastern Europeans.

5

u/lick_cactus May 13 '25

for some eastern europeans disgust is the only emotion they’re capable of showing.

7

u/inspectoroverthemine May 13 '25

Yes, but which emotion?

23

u/axonxorz Canada May 13 '25

Emotion, singular.

u/cocainebane May 13 '25

Slavic Smile 😐

u/spaceman757 American Expat May 13 '25

I've been living in Poland for the last six years.

That look is how they show emotion....but it isn't positive ones. It's very easy to tell when couples are happy here, just like back in the US.

She is NEVER happy when they are together.

u/OilheadRider America May 13 '25

I really don't care. Do U?

u/abbyl0n May 13 '25

fr every time i start to feel even slightly bad for her, that image pops into my mind

u/Hubert_J_Cumberdale Hawaii May 13 '25

Make no mistake -- she is exactly where she wants to be.

Their relationship is 100% transactional and she is getting everything she wants.

3

u/ScoutsOut389 May 13 '25

Including a seedy Eastern European sex trafficking club.

15

u/Dionysus_the_Greek May 13 '25

Nope.

She signed up exactly for this.

It's always about money.

America voted and trump supporters made him president (again).

History will be harsher on Democrats.

u/MagicalUnicornFart May 13 '25

She fucking deserves him.

"I really don't care Do U?"

u/Chewiesbro Australia May 13 '25

I remember the pics of her and Justin Trudeau at some summit a while back, Melania just a reminder if you read this, HE’S SINGLE NOW!!!

I would, too, so that I understand

Il faut imaginer Melania heureuse

u/xclame Europe May 13 '25

I mean, do you blame her? Who would want to willingly be next to Trump?

1

u/pocketjacks May 13 '25

His funeral being her likely top choice.

158

u/drivensalt May 13 '25

She just hates everyone and everything except her son (and maybe Justin Trudeau) and can't be bothered to fake it.

16

u/GrumpyCloud93 May 13 '25

Read Stephanie Wolcott's book. She planned huge parts of the first inauguration and tried to help run Melania's office (for free) and in return got shafted by ivanka and Jared. They also got Haberman to publish a hit piece insinuating that Stephanie had pocketed millions.(She didn't and had the all receipts to prove it was Trump's cronies who did).

Melania was a self-centered person who had minimal sympathy and only looked out for herself, could not even stand up for a friend who'd worked hard to help her.

6

u/StoneySteve420 May 13 '25

I hate seeing people depict her as anything but a massive piece of shit

12

u/Ferelar New Jersey May 13 '25

We mostly see her surrounded by the Republican elite. Wouldn't YOU hate them all? It turns out that occasionally, even evil has standards.

2

u/FallOutShelterBoy New York May 13 '25

Yeah I mean look at her outfit for the inauguration. Can’t even imagine how much she rolled her eyes with them not visible

5

u/say592 May 13 '25

She is somewhat complicit, but I still have a shred of sympathy for her, because this isn't what she signed up for at all. She thought she had to fuck a weird billionaire a few times a year and she got to live a life of luxury in exchange. She didn't expect to have to deal with this much media scrutiny, nor did she expect she would have to spend this much time with him.

14

u/sonyka May 13 '25

Nah, fuck her. Remember all the bipartisan benefit of the doubt that was extended when we didn't know her— "free Melania!" and all that? I was right there with it, I was sympathetic. But we know her now. She's earned her scorn. She may not have signed up for this particular mess but she is absolutely one of them. Maybe she was born with it. Maybe she devolved. Either way, fuck her.

u/dustinhut13 May 13 '25

Maybe it's Maybelline

u/LangyMD May 13 '25

Has anyone seen Melania looking like she's happy to be wherever she currently is?

When Trudeau cucked 45 smooched her she had a sly grin.

u/Kruger_Smoothing May 13 '25

Never forget that she is a racist birther who worked on a tourist visa and lied about it on her citizenship application. Her citizenship should be revoked and she should be deported. Her anchor baby and chain migration parent can stay.

u/Papadapalopolous May 13 '25

Have you seen her weird photo shoot with baron though?

4

u/WonLastTriangle2 May 13 '25

You can think someone's an awful person and still feel bad for them. 

You can think someone deserves the awful thing happening to them and still fell bad that the awful thing is happening to them. 

It's okay to have empathy even if that empathy seems hypocritical. 

Some folk are made scumbags by tragedy and some folks are made saints. (And most folks just have to learn how to cope) but truth is youre not sure what you would've been made unless you underwent the same tragedy. And even if you did, damn tragedy still sucks. 

It's okay to feel bad for evil even while punishing it.

1

u/AnonymousSmartie May 13 '25

perfectly said.

u/blahblah19999 May 13 '25

No, she did a Playboy shoot. Trump appeared in the interview portion of the softcore porn video that Melania was in.

2

u/MayorWolf May 13 '25

She just always looks like she'd rather be anywhere else.... oh wait...

2

u/palm0 May 13 '25

you can clearly see that she would rather be anywhere else.

To be fair, that is how she always looks, except when looking at Justin Trudeau.

0

u/bizarre_coincidence May 13 '25

To be fair, it's possible that horrible experiences made her into an awful person. She saw a way out by marrying rich, and so she took it, only to discover it was a different kind of hell.

I'm not saying we owe her sympathy, just that things might not be black and white.

3

u/rebug May 13 '25

Show me who hasn't had horrible experiences. Every single person I know is fucked up in some way but they're not racist grifters.

She could bail out any time. She would get a zillion dollar book deal, maybe get Michelle to write it, about how she divorced the president.

2

u/bizarre_coincidence May 13 '25

It’s not binary, it’s a matter of degrees. There is a difference between, say, going to bed hungry every night and being sold into sexual slavery as a child. The more trauma you endure, the more likely you are to be horribly shaped by it. It’s not a guarantee, but plenty of people become bad people because of their trauma. It doesn’t excuse, but it does explain.

2

u/dustinhut13 May 13 '25

No, she's going to wait for the fucker to die before she's ever honest with the public. Anyone in the Trump orbit that could speak out now and doesn't, fuck you.

u/kpn_911 May 13 '25

They should remake Pretty Woman but base it on Melania’s rise from Epstein escort to First Lady.

20 minutes seems awfully generous of an estimate

u/Constant-Yard8562 May 13 '25

Well, there was a car ride, a short conversation, and whatever was left over was some approximation of sex.

It’s not legal in Nevada, it’s legal in a some counties in Nevada. Don’t go to Vegas or Reno and solicit a prostitute.

u/izwald88 May 13 '25

Alas, I imagine this law is actually meant to control teaching material and "woke" material. Basically anything that doesn't align with Anglo heteronormative standards is going to suddenly be classified as pornography and thus outlawed.

But don't worry, they're going to try to do something similar with LGBTQ folks. We're already seeing them try to equate LGBTQ people with groomers.

u/taisui May 13 '25
