Sources familiar with Trump's response to the breaking story about Daniels' supposed affair say that, back in February, Trump told Michael Cohen (who was then still his lawyer) to obtain a restraining order against the actress (whose real name is Stephanie Clifford) by way of confidential arbitration, according to The Wall Street Journal. This conversation is reported to have taken place shortly after Trump and Cohen learned about a potential media interview that Daniels was considering regarding her claims of having had an affair with Trump. Her October 2016 nondisclosure agreement was intended to keep her silent about the alleged sexual relationship.

Eric Trump, who is running the company with his brother in Mr. Trump’s absence, then tasked a Trump Organization staff attorney in California with signing off on the arbitration paperwork, these people said. Direct involvement of the president and his son in the effort to silence Ms. Clifford hasn’t previously been reported. The accounts of that effort recently provided to The Wall Street Journal suggest that the president’s ties to his company continued into this year and contradict public statements made at the time by the Trump Organization, the White House and Mr. Cohen. The Trump Organization had denied any involvement in the arbitration process between Trump and Daniels when initially asked about it in March. Then again, as Maggie Haberman of The New York Times tweeted, this would not be the first time that Trump and those associated with him had been caught in a lie. "President or his aides: - insisted they knew nothing about payments and Nat Enquirer. Insisted he was not aware of payments made to Daniels beforehand. Suggested Cohen acted on his own. All have been shown to be untrue," Haberman tweeted on Tuesday. In June, Salon spoke with Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti, who described why he thought Trump was afraid of his client. There's no question that he knows my client is telling the truth because he was there and this happened," Avenatti told Salon. "I think 80 percent of Americans have viewed her "60 Minutes" interview and came away believing my client. I know people on the right that are staunch supporters of the president, and even they comment to me on how much credibility she had. How much they believed her as to what she said. In my view, there's zero question. She was telling the truth during that interview." He added, "Mr. Trump knows it, I think the First Lady knows it. I think Mr. Giuliani knows it; they know exactly what happened here. I think Mr. Trump also knows that he participated in the cover-up relating to this $130,000 payment. He picked the wrong fixer to handle it. He picked the guy in Michael Cohen, who is not that tough and is a moron. #Post#: 29842-------------------------------------------------- Re: Despite prior denials, Trump told son Eric to get a restrain ing order against Stormy Daniels By: SisterAct Date: October 2, 2018, 6:06 pm --------------------------------------------------------- What a day for Trump and his supporters- Tax evasion and hushing (via your son) a porn star who you've diddled.

The reality is that a large portion of the country is not affected by the stock market because they can't afford to invest. And the stock market is not necessarily connected to the economy - the economy can be suffering and the market doing well.

I see how the lower classes aren't participating in things like the stock market because they don't have the money to do so, usually because they are trying to pay bills with what little they do have. The price I pay for working with them is that I see the reality of how each administration is effecting the socioeconomic classes up close and personal. I assure you, the majority of Americans are *not* doing well at all. The rich are. Those who have the extra cash to play at stocks are. But the majority are not.
