things seemed to get pretty awkward for a minute during the 2018 State of the Union.
What moment was that, it was when First Lady Melania Trump didn't stand when Trump discussed
"faith and family" during his address.
In his State of the Union Address, Trump stated, "In America we know that faith and Family,
not government and bureaucracy are the the center of Democracy." The comment was met
with a standing ovation from the crowd.
That is, all except for an actual member of his family. Cut-throat, Melania, absolutely
cut-throat.
However, who can really blame her? In case you're not caught up with the recent Trump
family drama, on Jan. 12 a report from The Wall Street Journal revealed that Trump took
part in an alleged *** encounter with pornographic actress Stephanie Clifford, also known as
Stormy Daniels.
What's worse? This allegedly occurred very soon after the birth of their son Barron Trump.
(In a statement to told The Wall Street Journal, Michael Cohen told the newspaper in a statement
that he "vehemently denies" these claims.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump's lawyers arranged to buy Clifford's silence
about the alleged 2006 encounter with a $13,000 payout. Despite the report, both Clifford
and Trump's lawyer, Cohen, have denied these claims of both the affair and buyout.
Even with the double denial of the allegations, it looks like Melania is still a little bit
salty.
When reports surfaced about the alleged affair, Clifford wrote an email, obtained by BuzzFeed
News, claiming that the allegations of both the *** encounter and hush money are "absolutely
false."
Even with Clifford claiming false allegations, she's gone on record to discuss her numerous
encounters with Trump. She told In Touch about their first meeting, and his pretty aggressive
way of getting her attention.
Then, as if we weren't in enough pain already, she went on to basically allude that she's
the least of Melania Trump's worries when it comes to her husband. Clifford discussed
Trump's alleged unwillingness to discuss Melania during their encounters.
Michael Cohen released a statement to The Wall Street Journal vehemently denying these
claims:
"These rumors have circulated time and again since 2011. President Trump once again vehemently
denies any such occurrence as has Ms. Daniels," Cohen told The Journal.
