It comes to me as no surprise that President Donald Trump’s stance on policy is mere words. He questions media’s power and freedom but communicates ludicrous sermons himself. David Dennison is without a doubt a standout example of a chauvinistic man living in denial. Are you staggered by his pseudonym? It was his quest to pay off 130,000 US dollars to silence Stormy Daniels. In psychology, denial is often referred to as one of many defence mechanisms adopted by individuals to protect themselves from harm; in Donald Trump’s case, however, it is the truth.

On Sunday, former adult film star Stormy Daniels made an exclusive appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes and allegedly accused Donald Trump of threatening her to keep quiet about their affair, while he was married to Melania Trump in 2006.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, who stood by her husband Bill Clinton despite the torrid scandal, there seems to be distrust between Melania and Donald. Whether it was zapping her husband’s hand in Israel or being a loner at The State of the Union Address, Melania sure has had a lot to deal with since Trump assumed office in January 2017. Apparently, their marriage is not quite a match made in heaven. There have been several instances of mishaps and awkward exchanges that indicate trouble in the white house. Let me guide you through those key moments because there is no holding back on my part.

As Donald Trump spoke about family and faith last month, people stood up and gave him a standing ovation. Neither Melania nor half of America believed his speech after allegations of Daniels surfaced and were made public. Reportedly, the First Lady walked out without acknowledging Trump’s pearls of wisdom on family values. Stormy Daniel’s case was further strengthened with hefty evidence that incriminated Donald Trump. These crucial insights speak volumes, thanks to the fake media for exposing David Dennison for what he is.

Amidst the sex scandals, Mr Trump had kept his offences undisclosed for over a decade; perhaps the Russian investigation is next for us to explore, and we shall soon unravel the mystery of rigged US elections. Although Melania is not an outstanding First Lady, her character is unblemished, unlike Trump. She could have made a stark difference in public affairs if English was her first language. Her recent sermon on cyber bullying was praiseworthy, and I appreciate her for doing what she thinks is best for America. It is a miracle that she is with Trump despite the constant sex scandals circulating the White House. What could be Melania’s reason to hold back and resist all this? I feel as if she has ulterior motives.

Maybe she wants to complete her tenure as First Lady and dump Donald Trump after his presidency concludes. In my opinion, non-voters have experienced the devastating consequences of Donald Trump’s presidency and will most likely turn up in the 2020 elections to vote against him, if he runs for office.

As someone who understood some of Trump’s policies such as his stance on anti-abortion and security concerns, he has done very little to achieve his goals. Initially, I believed that Donald Trump had the potential to boost America’s economy and labour market, but clearly he cannot regulate himself let alone the country. He talks the talk but is incapable of leading the US. He has a questionable past and a dysfunctional marriage. To top it off, he will do anything in his power to bully those who disagree with him, and that itself is uncivil.
