Imagine for a moment this farfetched scenario.<\/p>\n

Barack Obama is caught engaging in a relationship with a porn queen. What might be the reaction among the evangelical community if the president is said to have cheated on his wife?<\/p>\n

Let me guess. It would produce a firestorm, an earthquake, a cyclone of criticism. From the right. There might even be some lefties who would be outraged.<\/p>\n

I pose that hideous hypothetical circumstance to pose the question: Where is the outrage as it relates to Donald Trump’s alleged extramarital affair with a porn film performer? A woman who goes by the name of Stormy Daniels has alleged that she had a yearlong affair with Trump shortly after he married his wife, Melania.<\/p>\n

What’s more, she says Trump paid her $130,000 in hush money to keep it quiet.<\/p>\n

The affair has been reported by the Wall Street Journal, which isn’t a “scandal sheet” by any possible stretch of the imagination.<\/p>\n

Trump denies the affair. Oh, I forgot. This guy also bragged about fooling around on his first wife prior to marrying his second wife … all of which occurred before he married his third wife, Melania.<\/p>\n

However, no outrage is coming from his base within the Republican Party right wing. For that matter, even the left has been relatively quiet.<\/p>\n

I guess there’s next to nothing about this president that surprises us. As USA Today <\/a>reports: “Trump’s exploits seem to be baked into his poll numbers. The Access Hollywood <\/em>tape, in which Trump bragged \u2014 or, by his account, joked\u00a0\u2014 about sexually assaulting women failed to derail his candidacy in 2016.”<\/p>\n

Weird.<\/p>\n\n
