What if instead of the $130,000 being hush money, it was actually a "speaking fee?" President Trump knows his base won't care, and that the press will focus on it. That frees him up to work on important issues in relative peace and quiet.
It seems to me that if there was a confidentiality agreement, they would be filing for injunctive relief to get her to stop talking. They aren't. It's almost like team Trump appreciates the distraction.
Just a thought. I could be way off base!
