However, before the 2016 election, he asked Cohen to pay Daniels $ 130,000 not to tell about the extramarital affair. He argued that he would have to pay his wife a much larger sum if the matter came to light.

“The presidency of Donald Trump is a product of the free press. Not free as in freedom of expression, I mean free as unpaid. Live-streamed rallies, tweets, press conferences, idiotic interviews, 24/7 wall-to-wall coverage, all without spending a penny. The free press gave Trump to the United States.

The media fell in love with Trump’s tactics and promoted him to office:
In German: “Right, left, moderate, tabloids, quality newspapers, television, radio, Internet, Facebook – these are the people who voted for Trump and who can re-elect him.”
Cohen’s conclusion
In German: “You now have all the information you need to make a decision in November.”
