My elementary school aged children asked me who Stormy Daniels is. What do I say?

I came here to say this.

Also, she's a movie director and producer and rides horses well.

She “directs” porn films. Come on. Tell the kids about her “Make America Horny Again” tour.

The woman is whip smart and very successful in a brutal field where she has carved out an autonomous career path. She takes no sh*t and is really funny. I have a lot of respect for her. She beat the patriarchy at its own game.

I think we're well past "allegedly" - no need to lie to the kid about this part, lol.

Agreed but this explains why it is in the news and allows mom to ignor the sex part and focus on where the money came from which is exactly what the indictment is about.

Well trump was elected president. When you elect scummy men to be president, kids learn about scum.

I have no idea how she is in her business but in discussing the matter of the Orange Man she strikes me as intelligent, funny and standing on her principles. So yeah, basically what you said. I think she took this whole matter on to do what she could to take that bast**d down. To quote her, "But it's also poetic; this pu**y grabbed back".

They it came up when DH got home and and kid said "it's because of the woman and the money, right?" And dh just HAD to add "yeah, the p*** star." REALLY?!

Honestly, I think it's pretty f*ing sad that we have to have these conversations, but at this point, we do have to have them. She IS a pornstar. He was the President. This is actually history now. I would also prefer that things had remained more staid, but here we are. It makes sense to get comfortable with the reality.

I don't think that moniker does her justice. She directs her own films. She's much more than what a p0rn star usually brings to mind. Please don't reduce her to sex, because you're enabling the incredibly misogynist male perspective on this.

Gimme a break. Trump didn't pursue her because she was a director. It's not like his next conquest was Sofia Copolla. As pertinent to this conversation, she's a porn star.

I don’t shelter my kid (10) that much. I would say “she was President Trump’s girlfriend while he was still married.”

Sounds like he underestimated her based on her looks like a lot of people here.

doesn't girlfriend indicate some sort of relationship and lbeing in a committed relationship? I think she was a one or two time romp in the hay. If she was a girlfriend I would have more "respect" He just had sex with women because he viewed women as his sex toys.

My kid is 12. If he asked I’d say”she’s a porn star /director who trump slept with and then when he ran for President, tried to cover up by paying her off to stay quiet. She didn’t and now it’s coming to light that the way he paid her was illegal. His own lawyer who turned on him said so.”

There’s nothing about the truth that’s worse than the man who made it all happen, and stating facts doesn’t hurt your kids.

She's an actress that President Trump had a couple of dates with. He didn't want his wife to find out so he paid her some money in a way that was against the rules.

Lol right, it’s misogynistic to state exactly what happened. Trump had sex with a porn star.

I mean I was 14 when Chelsea Clinton's dad was impeached. My younger
siblings didn't give a hoot or ask but that's because there was no social media. I just viewed the guy as a man and like all men their minds are perverse.
