So, he is selling that all the time. He is pitching now that the Mar-a-Lago raid was an assassination attempt on him by Joe Biden. It would be hilarious if it weren't so insanely dangerous a lie. Some of his idiot followers are going to believe that and because they believe it, and this is his intent, they will think if there was a planned attempt on Trump's life, well, they need to start killing Democrats ASAP.
Everybody should be reporting the truth about that to prevent violence from breaking out but FOX is selling the lie that the raid was really an attempt to assassinate Trump, and so are elected Republicans like your girl Marge. When I first heard it, I thought it was a joke and it was just Marge Greene saying it...nope...it was Trump that asked everybody to say this. He and his campaign wrote up what they wanted people to say.
Anybody with a brain and a conscience should have told Trump and his campaign to get lost when they asked them to start saying that, because it is an obvious step toward getting his followers to kill people...but nope, FOX, Marge, other Republicans immediately started screaming that whopper of a lie from the rooftops. It's going to get some people killed. They know that and they are doing it anyway.
On if it would have made a difference to his followers at the time to know Trump had slept with a porn star and a playmate, my guess is it would not have mattered at all. I'll tell you why, their choice at that point was Hillary or Donald. Both were in the midst of scandals, ones that normally would have killed campaigns in the past, but I think in the minds of Trump leaning voters then, they saw Donald being a pussy grabber and guy cheating on his wife as a minor thing compared to Hillary being in trouble for having a home server and using personal email to conduct some of her government business. To them, that scandal was worse, plus they had been trained for years to hate her. So, it could have come out that Trump had slept with the entire New York Jets football team and his fans would have said "So what, look at Hillary using private email!"
She was a certain loser in that election. Trump's sex life, no matter what he did, would not have made a dent.
