Stormy Daniels’ “Audition” (July 2006)

It’s a story as old as mankind. Think back to the Garden of Eden. The Serpent entices Eve with the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. When he offers it to her, she takes a bite (and then shares it with Adam). I know it’s a metaphor, but it works as a way to discuss the power dynamic between men and women.

Trump was the ‘star’ of the American version of “The Apprentice”. By 2006, after two seasons, it was proving to be a hit with the American viewing public. It gave Trump superb name recognition. It also gave him a way to make out with beautiful women, even though he was newlywed to Melania. The “Access Hollywood” tape was recorded in September 2005. Bear that in mind.

After meeting Stormy Daniels at a Lake Tahoe golf tournament, Trump wanted to get her onto his show. But first he wanted to get to know her on a more intimate level, hence the casting couch moment.

After that, he called her regularly for about a year. His nickname for her was:.

Finally, there was radio silence between them, until the tape from the Billy Bush interview, off camera, was publicized in the last weeks of the 2016 Presidential election campaign. Then, Stormy Daniels decided the time was right to strike, while the proverbial iron was hot. The rest is history.

Now, we’re in the middle of Stormy Daniels’ testimony. What Trump avoided having the voting public hear in 2016, is on full display in his election interference case in a Manhattan court room right now.

Yes, the truth will out…
