The former Trump building doorman who claimed he heard the President has a love child is “a pathological liar,” his ex-wife told the Daily News.

“He’s infamous for making up stories,” Nikki Benfatto said of her former husband Dino Sajudin.

“He’s seen the chupacabra. He’s seen bigfoot. One of our friends who passed away, he saw him too, walking down the street.”

Sajudin is at the center of explosive new reports detailing a $30,000 payment from the National Enquirer to silence a rumor that Trump fathered a child with an employee at Trump World Tower in Midtown.

NYDN

Maybe not true! Sad!

Meanwhile, in the Stuff That Matters file, Andrew Wheeler was confirmed by the Senate as Pruitt's #2 (fitting title).

Among those who already want him gone, sure. Don’t underestimate the ability of everyone else to look the other way like they have with everything else.

Unless we think it materially alters Trump’s chances of being impeached or losing in 2020 I don’t see how it’s anything more than another blip on the character radar.

I think it's bad because when a real story comes out his supporters will say it's just another false story like the one that doorman told.

In fact, I worry that's what would happen if the Mueller investigation falls apart for some reason. He'd be inoculated against nearly everything.

On the other hand, for his supporters, he can do no wrong regardless.

Maybe the doorman was thinking of Arnold. One of those hosts of the Apprentice had a thing with the housekeeper.

I wonder if Trump is waiting to start the attack on Syria until tomorrow night as cover when he may fire Rosenstein and/or Mueller. He’ll probably claim he was waiting until after the Muslim Friday prayer.

So at 9pm tonight Trump ordered an evaluation of the USPS finances and operations and it’s “unsustainable” path. Just to spite Bezos he’s going to destroy the Post Office and, of course, many other businesses with it.

#NeverTrump Twitter is torn between appreciating Trump pardoning Scooter Libby and the signal it is sending his own people on potential obstruction charges.

hmmmm pardon a leaker who outed a CIA agent. So conflicted a message. Leaks are OK, war on the IC, and/or overt signal ala Bannon's plan.

I am not sure how frequently pardons are doled out, but Trump seems to be high profile in the least, if not super fast on the trigger. It seems to me to be a parting shot, but I cannot honestly be sure.

Yes, Libby's just a liar, not a leaker. Pretty sure Trump has no problem with those.

Not trying to troll a HOFer here, so this is said w all respect, but has JH given his official taek on Ryan. I know that was his dude. Who are the young glimmers of hope/future conservaheroes in the party that informed/reasonable Rs like yourself are hoping pan out into stars (who is the Ben Simmons/ rhys Hoskins of R party, put another way). Is there literally anyone in the farm system? I know you got into Sixers this year so what better year to make a lib bandwagon move?

That being said I'd pose the same question to bsg libs, who are the young stars of the party? Who is gonna hurt my Chinese internet / EV related metal trend investing strategies the least? I'm out on Warren already
