'The man never learns': Expert explains why Trump is panicked by Stormy Daniels — again

Reacting to reports that Donald Trump is allegedly trying to buy the silence of adult film star Stormy Daniels again, former SDNY prosecutor Kristy Greenberg claimed the former president may have very good reasons to be alarmed.

With the election less than three weeks away, NBC is reporting that Trump's legal team reached out Trump's one-time paramour during the summer and offered a deal if she stayed out of the headlines before voters go to the polls.

Daniels is currently on the hook for a substantial payout to Trump after being ordered to pay his legal fees after losing a defamation case and, as NBC News is reporting, Trump's legal team wrote to her lawyer and offered, "...we can agree to settle these matters for $620,000, provided that your client agrees in writing to make no public or private statements related to any alleged past interactions with President Trump, or defamatory or disparaging statements about him, his businesses and/or any affiliates or his suitability as a candidate for President.”

Speaking with MSNBC host Ana Cabrera, Greenberg laughed and explained, "It's déjà vu all over again –– the man never learns."

"So what I think may actually be going on here, there was a really interesting filing during the course of this trial, where essentially the prosecutor said, yes, that Stormy Daniels testimony was cringe, there was a lot of detail there, but we didn't even get to the most embarrassing stuff. We were restrained when we put her on the stand."

"And so there's a filing, a report under seal, that has all that embarrassing detail, and I guess that is maybe what Donald Trump does not want Stormy Daniels to talk about," she suggested.

‘Aghast’: Trump dodges and dismisses Latino voters’ concerns at Univision town hall

Donald Trump, courting Latino voters, appeared at a Univision-hosted town hall in Doral, Florida Wednesday where he repeated many of his familiar lies to undecided Hispanic voters. With less than three weeks to Election Day, Trump disparaged Haitian immigrants, and called for the deportation of undocumented workers who harvest food for the country while claiming they were taking jobs from Black and Hispanic workers. Trump at times seemed either unwilling or unable to provide answers to their questions.

Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language television network, reported (via a Google translation), "the former president did not answer several of the questions posed to him by the participants, Hispanic voters who define themselves as undecided and were randomly selected for this program. Some of these questions were tough, such as when one wanted to know if, with all the evidence that exists, he still believes that climate change is a hoax or if Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, eat their neighbors' pets."

'A despicable moment': Trump hammered for 'ratings' joke about woman's death

A glib comment by Donald Trump, delivered with a smirk during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, led to outrage on MSNBC on Thursday afternoon.

MSNBC host Ana Cabrera drew attention to comments made by the former president after he was alerted by Fox News personality Harris Faulkner that critics of his abortion policies were doing a "prebuttal" aimed at his appearance at the women-only Fox event.

Among those critics were the parents of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman who was allowed to die due to anti-choice legislation passed by the state's Republican legislative majority that led doctors to withhold care over fears of being arrested.

During the Faulkner interview, she stated, "Amber Thurman’s family have come out on a press call, and they’re doing what’s called a prebuttal to our town hall right now.”

That led the former president to joke, "Oh, that’s nice,” to which the pro-Trump audience laughed before he added, “We’ll get better ratings, I promise," which led to more laughter including from Fox's Faulkner.

After sharing the Fox News clip, MSNBC host Cabrera looked stunned and told her guests, "The ratings? The laughter? Jennifer, how should voters square that moment with what Trump has said about how women should trust him, that he's a protector of women?"

Former New Hampshire GOP chair Jennifer Horn angrily replied, "That was such a despicable moment to try to make a joke and pull a laugh out of the audience when discussing the completely unnecessary loss of life of a young woman."

"But it very much revealed, just another of the million examples of who Donald Trump is, and how he really thinks instinctively about women," she continued. "He said he's going to take care of women, 'the father of IVF.' He has no understanding of women as equal members of society, as equal, full, whole human beings. He's extremely paternalistic in his views of women, which makes him a dangerous potential leader for this country if he gets to be president again."

Former Univision president bashes network for hosting Trump 'propaganda' town hall

The former president of Univions and Telemundo took his former network to task on Thursday morning for taking part in a town hall with Donald Trump where the former president was allowed to glibly brush away Latino voters' concerns with little push back.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" with co-host Mika Brzezinski, Joaquin Blaya compared the Trump town hall to what one might see on Fox News and labeled it as nothing more than an "infomericial" where the audience was brought in as "props."

Getting right into it, he complained, "He [Trump] went onto recite his concert of lies without any journalism integrity on the part of the network, without any fact-checking."

"So he spoke uninterrupted saying many of the things we have seen him say for the last few months, but some of the things he has been saying in the last few months which are very relevant to Hispanics, were not brought up," he added. "For example, that we are poisoning the blood of this country. That we includes me and my family."

He accused, "He is working on the largest deportation project in American history where he is planning to raid and put in camps millions of people. Obviously he went on talking about the Haitians in Springfield, legal citizens of this country which were invited by that city to help provide services and jobs. It goes on and on."

"I think you have covered this subject at length this morning," he added. "The question here is Univision did not distinguish themselves as being a true news organization. And served as a platform for close to an hour of his continuing recital of lies."

He then singled out the town hall moderator, telling the MSNBC host, "I cannot respond for the network, but the person that was conducting the –– let's call it the town hall –– was the same person that did what I call a propaganda project. The main anchor of the Univision network is Jorge Ramos, one of the most respected journalists in America. You would have thought that Jorge would have to be the person doing the interview and the town hall. Yet they, again, decided to put on someone that they brought from Mexico, and the results are what you saw last night where they allow Trump to go freely reciting his traditional list of lies."

'That was the mask coming down': Kamala Harris said to have exposed Fox News in real-time

According to MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, Vice President Kamala Harris did serious damage to the already shaky reputation of Fox News when she busted Fox personality Bret Baier for running a deceptive clip of Donald Trump.

In a highly scrutinized segment, Trump's "enemy within" attack on his critics came up, and the Fox interviewer shared a clip of the former president blowing it off and turning himself into a victim of persecution that led Harris to rebuke him with "That's not what you just showed."

She then added, "Here’s the bottom line, he has repeated it many times, and you and I both know that. And you and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military against the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest.”
