Donald Trump got in trouble in New York for paying off a porn star to keep quiet... before the 2016 election! This is the first time a former president is facing criminal charges in the US, but it doesn’t stop him from trying to run for president again in 2024.
Here’s what happened: Stormy Daniels, adult film star, wanted to sell her story about having an affair with Trump back in 2006. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid her $130,000 to keep quiet. The problem is, when Trump paid Cohen back, he messed with some official papers, which is against the law in New York.
Lawyers for the government could also say that Trump broke election rules when he tried to hide these payments. People who were going to vote for him didn't want to know that he was having an affair.
Trump says all this is just politics and wants his supporters to protest. Republicans mostly support him, saying it’s unfair prosecution. But Democrats say nobody, not even a powerful person like Trump, should be above the law.
Now, when we hear about Trump’s legal issues, it’s good to remember how important trust and honesty are in relationships. Cheating can really hurt your mental health and your bond with your partner.
"It's interesting to see how legal problems and political goals can affect each other. Trump's case shows how lying can hurt you, not just in politics but also in personal relationships," says Wilda Harrison, a relationship psychologist.
