Nope. He's back to tweeting about the military, Dems abandoning DACA and that ****ing wall.

I wonder what he will tweet about when it's Stormy time later...

The expectation is that he'll do/say/tweet something in the next few hours, rather than give her the free shot.

Has anyone an idea of what Irish time the 60 minutes interview is on, and where to see it?

60 MINUTES 7 p.m. on CBS. The sordid tale of the president and the pornographic film actress hits its next chapter as Stephanie Clifford, who goes by the stage name Stormy Daniels, sits down with Anderson Cooper to recount a relationship with Donald J. Trump in 2006 and 2007. (The interview took place in spite of a nondisclosure agreement, which she claims is void, and in spite of a threat of an injunction.)

Midnight Irish time.

Has the Spoofer In Chief even mentioned the gun law protests yesterday? Nah?

He was probably jealous of the turnout.

Melania could be kingmaker here. If she comes out and says it was a minor discretion, Donald really loves me and our son and he really is a good husband and father blah blah blah, then the The Donald might survive Stormy Daniels. If she says nothing or criticises him, then that will play badly with some GOP voters especially female voters.

I'm guessing she's gonna say nothing. It's also more than one woman where he said he would leave Melania.

Lol that's ridiculous isn't it? Typical from the hill "look if you zoom in to the point you can see individual people you can see this protest from space!" Like using Google maps I can see my house from space! It's not actually that big but if I dramatize it like that it seems bigger, right? I wonder could they see that kid hoggs weird Nazi salute from space? You'd of thought he'd have learned after the whole armbands farce, hell mabey kids don't have all that much life experience afterall? They seem to have been easily lead into this "if you disagree with is you want us dead" agenda anyway!

At what stage does she try to regain her dignity? Or does she continue to be a figure of pity at best as various porn stars and models queue up to talk about having sex with her husband?

That personal element is quite sad, even if she had a fair notion of what he was like, before marrying him.
Whether he paid Stormy would be a key issue. also if their is, any revealing pics.

She wont say a word, because he's already flat-out denied that it happened. Silence will be the order of the day for her, I'd say. Can't wait to see if Donnie tweets about it or not. Should be an interesting watch later!

You'd have a little sympathy for her. Even though someone put a video of her questioning Obama's citizenship and obviously lying as she did so. Hypocrisy aside, she didn't appear too bright to be honest. The kid is the innocent one.

He does put a lot of emphasis on crowd sizes himself. I think it's substantial that we've had a large scale antigun movement develop. It's taken a long time but something has mobilised. 800k in Washington DC alone.

I do feel a bit sorry for Melania. But at the same time, the stuff like being an advocate for stopping cyber-bullying just makes her look stupid, considering what Trump is like. Must be pretty rough for her, but the one person I do feel sorry for is the kid, Barron.

I cannot disagree, I just think it's funny how in the era of being able to read the time of someone's wrist watch the hill is being all Like "it was so big you could see it from space!" Let's face it if trump done that you guys would tear him to shreds.

No, just stating the fact that he did a salute at the end of his speech that looked a bit like a nazi salute, CNN obviously agreed it looked a bit dodgy as it's the only thing they edited out of their coverage.

I really think it's a business arrangement and nothing more for her. She is probably negotiating for more money in the inevitable divorce settlement right now; it will just take a few more years before she's released from her commitment. She must be NDAd to the hilt. Remember that there were groping claims against him that he apologised for to her even during the campaign and it didn't make one bit of a difference, why would consensual sex? Remember where she came from and the whole dodgy modelling business Trump was doing, I bet he had an affair a week since the day they were married and it was all part of the deal.

If she was a different person she could do a Stormy, break the NDAs, write a bunch of books on DT and on being the First Lady, then build a fashion brand. But she seems a bit too withdrawn for that, not enough spunk in her to play it this way.

Someone he purposely uses a username that implies far right sympathies in order to act all offended if anyone mentions it implying this kid is a nazi is hugely ironic and funny.

Ah well that's that then. This is Donald Trump we are talking about. If he told me the sky is blue, I'd still have to double check.

BTW you can watch full episodes of 60 minutes from Ireland on demand. It's the only one that isn't blocked. so we have a podcast that is normally up before 7am(roughly) Irish time so even if people don't see it live you'll be able to listen to it or watch it at some point Monday.

Presumably if anything noteworthy comes out of it well hear straight away on sky, cnn, etc.

Well yes if there is a bombshell revelation then yes expect the Yellow breaking news banner on any news channel.

I'll file this one away along with the likes of:

The status of the office will make him more presidential
Ivanka will keep him grounded
Kelly will curb the harshest parts on get him more focued
The GOP will ensure he stays within the limits
He can't be swayed by interest groups and he doesn't need them

Occasional muterrings on Twitter today that Daniels was pregnant and was made have an abortion. Pure speculation at the moment, but if in any way true, I wonder how his user base would receive that news

Well as you say it's speculation. I suppose it's not surprising that nothing has leaked out about what Stormy Daniels said in the interview. I mean obviously CBS would have taken steps to ensure no details got out.

To answer the question of how his base would react, not very well normally but as has been said what should affect his base clearly doesn't anymore.

Given there are "Christian" pastors saying that even if he whole Daniels affair is true Christians should still support him because of his policies. I'd say the same message will be given if it did turn out to be true, and they'd probably buy into it.

He raised his right fist in the air, more akin to a black power salute than a Nazi one but I did see a few of the usual right wing media bots try to spin it as some sort of nazi salute, hell they even did a video dubbing Hitler's voice over his. Very funny, AND original

Sorry, I am a bit confused. Why is there a problem if one of the speakers at the gun rally gave a Nazi salute.

He is probably one of the good nazis.

Strange to think that by this time tomorrow most of us could well have seen photos of trumps lad. That's an image that will take a long time to fade.

So this hardline aggressive lawyer who trump hired has already stepped away. Conflicts are cited - more than likely he has a conflict with going down in flames
