I’ll go so far as to say that if he had just admitted that the sex happened, he’d walk.
Let’s be realistic. No amount of jury instructions can override basic human nature. And I’d be willing to bet that almost nobody on that jury cared about anything other than the testimony of Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen. Had Trump just acknowledged that the sex happened, there would be no reason to put Daniels on the stand and the jury would be going into deliberations over a whole bunch of boring facts and technicalities that could cure insomnia. Instead, they’re going in there with a vision of an orange man with a mushroom dick in his boxers being spanked with a magazine seared into their heads. Her testimony was (a) largely irrelevant relative to what he’s been charged with, and (b) will be given outsized weight with the jury just because of the scandalous details she gave. Right or wrong, that’s just human nature. Keep her off the stand and you’ve got a case that’s about as exciting as the ingredients on a tube of toothpaste.
If he admits on stand that sex happened, I wonder Melania’s lawyers will get ready to null and void her prenup and take half of his estate. Mathematically speaking, half of 0 is still 0.
She’s not going anywhere. If she splits, she’s off the gravy train. Right now, she can still spend his money while he still has it. She knows she’ll never get a dime from a prenup because he’ll stiff her just like he does everybody else, and tie the case up for years when she sues him.
That’s the thing. Imagine what wonders she can do when Donnie goes to jail for any of his treasons and on top of that she suddenly gets prenup null and voided for cheating - she doesn’t have to fight for his property with his creditors, legitimate and illegitimate children, pornstars, Russian mafia, and any number of lackeys who want replace him.
