President Trump Breaks The Silence, Goes Scorched Earth On Stormy Daniels

President Donald Trump has come out, guns blazing, against porn star Stormy Daniels, who has accused him of having an affair with her a decade before he became President of the United States. After Daniels appeared on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday and showed a sketch of a man that she says threatened her to not talk about her relationship with the president, Trump finally responded.
After months of silence on Daniels and her claims, President Trump fired back on Wednesday, using his favorite weapon, Twitter. In a tweet, the president accused Daniels of being a liar and said the media was being played by the porn star and her “con job.”
“A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!” the president tweeted.
It was pointed out that Daniels’ ex-boyfriend is a dead ringer for the man in the sketch. This is awkward.
Many others on Twitter noticed the resemblance of the man in the sketch to Daniels’ ex-boyfriend. One person excited by the president’s tweet was Daniel’s camera-friendly attorney Michael Avenatti, who attacked him in a series of tweets.
“FBI search warrants uncovering EXISTING documents and recordings showing con job after con job pulled on REAL people and very REAL American citizens (who didn’t know it). Welcome to the playing field,” he said in his first tweet.
“In my experience, there is nothing better in litigation than having a completely unhinged, undisciplined opponent who is prone to shooting himself in the foot. Always leads to BIGLY problems…like new claims (i.e. defamation). LOL. #xmas #hanukkah #basta,” Avenatti said in a subsequent tweet.
The sketch controversy started after Daniels appeared on ABC’s “The View” where she recounted her alleged encounter with the man she says threatened her. An experience she only remembered when she had the spotlight shined on her.
“I’m tired of being threatened. And intimidating me and trying to say that you’ll ruin my life and take all my money and my house and whatever,” she told “The View” co-hosts. “I’m sorry, I’m done. I’m done being bullied. Done.”
Meghan McCain, the only Republican on the panel, took issue with Daniels telling her that “it seems like a publicity stunt on some level.” She said that Daniels was cashing in on her new mainstream fame and making tons of cash using the president’s name.
“You’ve gone on your Make America Horny Again tour,” she said. “I’m sure you’re making a lot of money — no disrespect. I hadn’t heard your name until all of this had happened, and now you’re literally live on The View giving an entire interview with us. So it has been beneficial for your career.”
Daniels and her attorney scoffed at that notion. She said that she has to pay bodyguards for her and her daughter which takes from the additional income she is making.
“As far as the tour, yes, I’ve gotten more bookings than usual but I’m doing the job that I’ve been doing for the last, almost 20 years,” Daniels said. “Yes, there’s a lot of publicity but I didn’t do it for that because this isn’t what I want to be known for.”
She then went on to show the sketch that she had made of the man she alleges threatened her. And she and Avenatti offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who could identify him.
“I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter,” she said. “And a guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.’ And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.’ And then he was gone.”
That sounds scary, Stormy. You probably should have called the police and not the women of “The View.” Then again, the hosts of “The View” cannot charge you with filing a false police report.
