> First, you're assuming that Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but it is very difficult to differentiate between 'please go away with your bullshit because it is distracting' agreement, and a 'here is some money so you don't talk' agreement. If you have special insight into this matter that has not been reported on, please do share it.

I'll bet you a dollar he did, happy to negotiate terms.

> Second, you're saying he is 'completely devoid of ethics and morals' because he allegedly cheated on his wife when she was pregnant. Has no one with morals or ethics ever cheated on their wife? Do you lose your ethics and morals by cheating on your wife, or are they just never there?

Equivocation.

> Finally, let's assume this did happen. Do you know the relationship status of Donald and Melania? What if they both agreed to have a sexually open marriage before they got married? It wouldn't be too out of left field - Trump was a known playboy.

Everyone knows it was and remains a business transaction.

Then why would having sex outside of a loveless, business-transaction of marriage make you 'completely devoid of morals and ethics' as OP indicated?

Boy, I'm impressed with all this insider Trump knowledge that has been coming out in this thread. All of you guys should get together and hand these stories to Michael Wolff, as they all exist with approximately the same level of vetting.

So, are we betting a dollar or not?

Sure, I bet on coin flips, so why not? If you're willing to transact over XLM?

Let's say the bet comes due Nov 7, 2018(day after midterms)?

Also, please keep in mind that the point of my post is that it is unknown if Trump slept with Stormy Daniels, and even if he did, you still don't know what arrangement if any exists between Melania and Donald to be able to say that he is "completely devoid of ethics and morals"

Don't care about the point of your post, and I made no value / moral / ethical judgment in my reply regardless.

You just agreed to a bet. I said "bet you a dollar he did" and you said "sure."

I agree - my point was that the bet and the point of my post were orthogonal. It was not intended to have any kind of consequence on our bet.
