from a New York Times story by Peter Baker headlined “Trump Flourishes in the Glare of His Indictment”:

Since long before he entered the White House, former President Donald J. Trump has been an any-publicity-is-good-publicity kind of guy. In fact, he once told advisers, “There’s no bad press unless you’re a pedophile.” Hush money for a porn star? Evidently not an exception to that rule.
