Newsmax CEO and apparent confidante of President Donald Trump, Chris Ruddy, sat down with ABC News This Week today to discuss a variety of issues facing the president. Aside from potential upcoming shifts in personnel management , perhaps the most revealing moment of the interview came when he was asked about Stormy Daniels.
Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has accused President Trump of having an affair with her prior to his 2016 presidential run. Stormy, politely put, is an adult film actress and also an exotic dancer. In other words, she is a porn star and stripper.
Tonight, in a supposed-tell all interview on CBS 60 Minutes, she will go into detail explaining the affair, an alleged cover up, and subsequent hush money as well as signed legal documents from Trump’s attorney proving this is all true.
But, according to Ruddy, President Trump says this is all a “political hoax.”
“OK, Chris. I want to turn to the president’s mindset about this interview with Stormy Daniels, the interview with Karen McDougal. Did he watch those interviews? And tell us what he’s thinking,” asked host Martha Raddatz.
“Well, you know, I can’t tell you everything he’s thinking, I can only tell you what he told me. He said he thought that -- that much of the Stormy Daniels stuff was a political hoax. Again, those were his words,” said Ruddy.
“So he thinks they’re lying. Even though Stormy Daniels got $130,000,” Raddazts asked for clarification.
Ruddy then questioned what exactly 60 Minutes is going to ask Stormy Daniels and pointed how thorough the media is being with Trump’s alleged scandals, yet constantly give Democrats a pass on scandals of their own.
“I’ll let him characterize. You know, you have to look at this case. You’re a straightforward journalist. I really think you’re fair-minded. When you watch this -- this interview on CBS, 60 Minutes, you’re going to be looking for the same question I’m looking for. Are they going to ask her Stormy, why did you hit -- hire a political hit Democratic attorney, Michael Avenatti, who’s worked for 150 Democratic political campaigns, Joe Biden’s campaign, worked for Rahm Emanuel," Ruddy posited.
"Who’s operating on funding her tremendous public relations effort? And you know, at the bottom line, there’s just never been a claim of harassment. So the president looks at this and I think he’s looking at it like I’m looking at it. This is politically motivated to hurt and embarrass him in some way. And you know what, the end of the day, the poll numbers for the president are up. Gallop has him at a record 40 percent, the Rasmussen at 48 percent approval. So I think the American people are really dismissing this as political -- political witch hunts, ” the Newsmax CEO questioned.
Ruddy's interview can be watched below.
The first time I heard him speak I was turned of by his voice.
I haven’t watched 60 Minutes for ages and I am not going to start.
It’s probably a hoax.
In any event, if it was true it is irrelevant. A billionaire negotiating with a famous prostitute (aka porn star) 15 years ago with a 30 something year old woman is meaningless.
What happened to the Russian narrative? Oh yeah that failed.
This just shows how desperate the Swamp is to get President Trump.
The Democrats are 100% complete hypocrites when they defended the rapist Bill Clinton with Monica.
Oh and they ignored Obama’s gay lover Larry Sinclair.
Looks like that man is pulling back from catching an std.
They want to get to him through Melania.
Even before he was elected, I feared for the lives of all his children. They want him down, and while I thought they could protect Barron well enough, I was concerned about the adult kids out there in the world, because if they killed one of them, they’d break his heart and he’d be unable to do his job.
This could be the same thing.
With that said, if he did cheat on Melania, I’d hope he was smarter than Herman Cain and come clean to her before the dirt would definitely come out. Men, never think that any affair would ever stay secret ever if you run for President not on the Dem ticket. Get your affairs on the table to your spouse before running.
[OT check out the Nigella Recipe of the Day, the orange brioche bread pudding. That is getting made.]
So Tell me Ms. Cliford, what do you do for a living?
Have you ever lied to a client?
And that, right there, may well be where all the innuendos about a 'non-disclosure agreement' are coming from.
As far as I know, nothing's ever come out re the details of same, but you can bet the farm that Enemedia have counted on the short attention span of the Idiocracy to not have smarts enough to see that.
Dunno, just a hunch . . .
LOL...I have heard of almost all “stars”. Never heard of Stormy before the Rats are parading her out there. But then for me Porn & Golf are very boring to watch, so she was easy to miss in my schedule.
Like I do with Politico, I take anything from “the Hill” with a grain of salt.
Oh and they ignored Obama’s gay lover Larry Sinclair.
Yes, his I, I, I, ah, ah, ah, I, I, I, ... sounded like a budding rapper. But he did clearly state his intent to 'transform this nation'... No more God, Country, and Guns... and the traitorous Republicans send him every dime he wanted plus more...
My local news update, in the midst of the March MADNESS bouncing ball game... breathlessly gave the Stormy weather news...
They want to humiliate Melania, the family, and create a divorce, to weaken him. They are hate. This would not be happening to Bill Clinton.
Bingo. Does Stormy do a cigar show? Asking for a friend.
“Everyone’s waiting, holding their breath, just to hear what some publicity seeking porn star has to say against this countries leader? Not here they aren’t!”
Maybe not here, but if “everybody” you mean more than 40% of the population of the united states, then....well...
Also from wiki....she is listed as a Republican....maybe she is GOPe or a RINO :)

I don’t think it is possible to learn much from the Dims, but I have learned this:
What a president does in his private life is his own business. Now, before 1992, I always believed that elected officials should have some kind of moral compass, something that they would be ashamed of, if it were to be exposed. However, what was exposed in the 90s, and without a minutia of responsibility or shame, taught me that the health and welfare of the American citizens is of the utmost importance.
And now, I am a better person for that lesson
People don’t care because we all assumed Trump has been whoring around his entire adult life. Whether or not it’s true is irrelevant, he has the playboy billionaire reputation-—and no one cares. It’s who he is.
I figure Melanie knew Trump when she married him. She’s a big girl.
So what if she stays in Florida for spring break. Why wouldn’t she? It was probably planned long before this hooker appeared on the scene. They don’t have to watch.
I quit going there years ago.
And worth noting that several of their contributing writers were ‘colluding” with Podesta during the 2016 election
Right you are. Melania was in modelling business, wasn’t she? Not exactly a choir girl business either.
