Trump is reportedly 'upset' that he can't watch porn in the White House
President Trump had to make a lot of lifestyle changes to begin a new life in the White House, and he's apparently upset by one change in particular.
MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski said that a source told her of Trump's frustration that he can't watch porn in the White House.
Brzezinski was responding to comments from Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani on Stormy Daniels. Giuliani attacked Daniels, who is a porn actress and director, saying that she didn't deserve respect because of her job. The attorney said that Daniels had zero credibility and was not "a woman of substance" because she "sells her body for sexual exploitation."

The comments "made my blood boil," said Brzezinski, calling it wildly unfair considering Trump's own track record in evaluating women's looks and the value he places on sexual desirability. "I know someone who spoke to Donald Trump recently about life in the White House, and Donald Trump's biggest complaint was that he's not allowed to watch porn in the White House," said Brzezinski. She said that if Trump wants Giuliani to speak for him, he had better evaluate his own conduct before casting stones. Watch the clip below, via MSNBC. Summer Meza
