Trump To Be First Ever Anti-Porn President. Wait, What?

If Donald Trump is elected, he will be the first ever official Anti-Porn President. And, no, that doesn’t mean he’s vowed never to be interviewed by Playboy again.

Trump has now signed a pledge presented by anti-porn activist group Enough is Enough promising to “aggressively” use existing laws to clamp down on internet pornography, particularly involving children, and appoint a new commission to investigate the harmful public health impact of pornography.

Below are the five commitments included in the pledge:

1. Uphold the rule of law by aggressively enforce existing federal laws to prevent the sexual exploitation of children online, including the federal obscenity laws, child pornography laws, sexual predation laws and the sex trafficking laws by:
   1. appointing an Attorney General who will make the prosecution of such laws a top priority in my administration and,
   2. Providing the intelligence community and law enforcement with the resources and tools needed to investigate and prosecute Internet crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children.
2. Aggressively enforce the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requiring schools and public libraries using government eRate monies to filter child pornography and pornography by requiring effective oversight by the Federal Communications Commission;
3. Protect and defend the innocence of America’s children by advancing public policies that prevent the sexual exploitation of children in a manner that is consistent with the government’s compelling interest in protecting its most vulnerable citizens, within the limits set forth by the First Amendment.
4. Give serious consideration to appointing a Presidential Commission to examine the harmful public health impact of Internet pornography on youth, families and the American culture and the prevention of the sexual exploitation of children in the digital age.
5. Establish public-private partnerships with Corporate America to step up voluntary efforts to reduce the threat of the Internet-enabled sexual exploitation of children by the implementation of updated corporate policies and viable technology tools and solutions.

The pledge aligns with the new anti-porn plank installed in the Republican platform this year, which declares the proliferation of pornography to be a “public health crisis.”

As for that Playboy interview: Back in 1990, The Donald gave a classic Trumpian interview in which he described what a President Trump would look like, said Jesus, Mother Teresa and the Pope have “far greater egos than you will ever imagine,” blasted Japan, bragged about Arabs losing big money in his casinos, and touted his “controlled neurosis” that had him sleeping at most four 4 hours a night.

Here’s how the piece opens:

Donald Trump sits alone. He hasn’t slept in 48 hours.

At six a.m., perched high in the bronze-coated jewel of his empire, Trump Tower, he’s bent over a mammoth Brazilian-rosewood desk, scrutinizing spread sheets. No insomnia, no gnawing worries.

“Pressure,” he surmises, sipping an iced Coke, “doesn’t upset my sleep,” a standard four hours nightly.

“I like throwing balls into the air–and I dream like a baby.”

And here’s Trump on “President Trump”:

He would believe very strongly in extreme military strength. He wouldn’t trust anyone. He wouldn’t trust the Russians; he wouldn’t trust our allies; he’d have a huge military arsenal, perfect it, understand it. Part of the problem is that we’re defending some of the wealthiest countries in the world for nothing…. We’re being laughed at around the world, defending Japan—

Wait. If you believe that the public shares these views, and that you could do the job, why not consider running for President?
I’d do the job as well as or better than anyone else. It’s my hope that George Bush can do a great job.

You categorically don’t want to be President?
I don’t want to be President. I’m one hundred percent sure. I’d change my mind only if I saw this country continue to go down the tubes.

In unrelated news, the New York Post just published some never-before-seen shots of Melania Trump’s “lesbian-themed” photo shoot back in 1995. If nothing else, this election is a wild ride.
