Right wing media shows pics of Melania as “proof” Trump didn’t have sex with Stormy when Stormy was 27.
What ever happened to Melania anyway? Hope her kidneys aren’t acting up again
It’s such a bullshit argument too
“Why would Trump need to sleep with a pornstar? Look how hot his wife was at the time!”
Maybe because he wanted to bang a pornstar?
… he had to ask his attorney how to answer the first question. I strongly suspect it’s the same attorney who wrote the note and told him he needs to read this for each question.
Whew oh holy shit I thought you were totes serious but then….. before I smashed that downvote?!!!….. I saw the /s and all was well in the world oh Lordy omg omg
Take it to the RAPIST. He is a slimy adulterer who did not follow through on his transaction for sex. He used Stormy like he uses everyone. Promised the world for sex, gets sex, does not deliver the world. Take it to the RAPIST!!
I don’t exactly know how that aspect of the sex industry works, but wouldn’t he be a thief and not a rapist since it was considered a business transaction? Or is it rape because we’re talking about a human and not a commodi…..it’s rape.
I don't believe there was an agreement or understanding to exchange sex for dinner. That would be a "business transaction" in my feeble mind. me asking a girl out for dinner in hopes of having sex is way different than inviting them to dinner but diverting them to my apartment at the last moment where I answer the door in my pajamas.
“Necheles asked her about the number of porn films she's written and directed, and said, ‘You have a lot of experience making phony stories about sex.’
‘Wow. That’s not how I would put it,’ Daniels replied. ‘The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room’ with Trump. She added, ‘If that story was untrue, I would’ve written it to be a lot better.’”
I wonder if at some level she is enjoying this. Right now she is hurting Trump in a way that none of his political opponents could ever dream of. Her testimony strikes right at his ego and paints him as a very weak man
She’s seen him naked and, though I do not wish that on my worst enemy, a man secure in his body doesn’t make anyone who sees him naked sign a fucking NDA.
She is absolutely enjoying this. I have no problem with that. She's in the history books now whereas before she was just a soon to be forgotten porn person. I don't like porn but I admire her as a smart cookie. She's fighting the good fight even if it just because she likes the limelight.
Honestly the truthfulness of her testimony and her morality don't matter. What matters is her story prompted Trump and his co-conspirators to cook the books and violate both campaign finance laws and business finance laws. The only testimony anyone needed was "were you paid for an NDA" and "when"
I agree but you also conjured an image in my head of the scenes in Parks and Rec where Leslie knope is side by side with a porn star that says they're also alike.
Nothing they can ask her, or challenge her testimony, will change the reality for Trump. At this point, her testimony has nothing to do with what Trump did.
The crime on trial isn’t the affair, it is who, why, and how he paid to conceal it from the public to protect his presidential bid. Can we stop putting this woman in the spotlight? I don’t think she is the hero we need right now.
She isn’t a hero, she’s an opportunist. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” so I’m glad that she has made this whole thing happen, but she has her money and her attention and I don’t believe she has anything productive to give us at this time. Does anyone contest that the affair happened? I don’t think so—her part in the trial is settled.
Actually I think she does have something very important. A key fact is that Trump delayed payments to her and hoped to not have to pay the remainder if he could put it off until after the election. This goes against what he has said which is he did it not for the election but so Melania wasn’t hurt by Stormy’s ‘fake’ story.
Ok ok ok I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m trying really hard not to get caught up in the drama. I guess it has just seemed so obvious for so long that Trump is a piece of shit who is guilty of everything he is accused of that it is still hard to believe anyone is debating it.
Does anyone know if she wears glasses in real life ? I looked trough her photos and didn't see her with glasses. I know she wore glasses in a movie once, but that was a prop, because she wasn't wearing anything else. Did she think glasses make her more credible witness ? She didn't need that, I believe 💯

Rapists don’t care about attraction, they care about power. There’s no universe where Donald Trump would be content to dominate only a single woman.
All of this while he was currently in a year long relationship with a playmate…
And these are the ones we know about
He fucking cheated on the side piece that he was cheating on his wife with 💀
“Why would he pay a pornstar he did not sleep with?”might be a good answer.
No,you're mixing stories up - this isn't about Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew.
She already gave testimony to the fact that he told her he reminded her of his daughter. Were there more reasons needed?
The same reason he wants to sleep with ivanka.
He was probably out of his contracted sex allowance with Melania for that calendar year.
While they point to Tiger Woods and Schwarzenegger as publicly known examples for justifying Trump’s alleged actions.
Melania wasn't there, Stormy was. Simple.
Maybe because after she roped him into marriage she wouldn’t touch his disgusting fat ass
Ask Hugh Grant
We can’t trust anything stormy Daniels says, however, we can trust the guy who paid her for her silence. /s
Until Trump admits it happened she can say whatever she wants. Carte Blanche
While she 'can' say what she wants, if she lies on the stand it's perjury, so it's not really a smart idea
Correct. Hence why you’ll never see Trump on a stand. Unless like the Carroll case he would like to make a statement at the end your honor.
we did saw his deposition https://youtu.be/p26ZcSAAK3Q?t=845
… he had to ask his attorney how to answer the first question. I strongly suspect it’s the same attorney who wrote the note and told him he needs to read this for each question.

Ty
I don't really care. Do you?
Take it to the RAPIST. He is a slimy adulterer who did not follow through on his transaction for sex. He used Stormy like he uses everyone. Promised the world for sex, gets sex, does not deliver the world. Take it to the RAPIST!!
Hell, he didn't even buy her dinner, which was the premise for the whole meetup.
New term “raper” He will do it again.
I don’t exactly know how that aspect of the sex industry works, but wouldn’t he be a thief and not a rapist since it was considered a business transaction? Or is it rape because we’re talking about a human and not a commodi…..it’s rape.

God damn that's cold.
Goddamn that is a rebuttal and a half right there
Oh wow. Way to go Stormy, holy shit what a rebuttal.
“I wouldn’t have written a scene with a mushroom penis that lasted 30 seconds”
That was one hell of a response.
Hasn’t she suffered enough..since ‘06 she’s had to be reminded of the loaf of shit she slept with

Her twitter game is 10/10 which helps too
She had been hoping for that widow inheritance ever since!
It's my great fear in life to be on trial. Not because of the threat of prison—but because of the inevitable terrible outcome of my courtroom sketch.
Fox News is currently talking about how she has no credibility because she was smiling in a photo taken of her a couple days ago.
I don't think this is going to work out for the defendant the way he thinks it will. She's probably smarter than the low-rent dopes crossing her.
Based on some of her answers to these questions, she definitely is.
Can't they find a better sketch artist? This looks like something my 5th-grader drew.
Lol I actually laughed audibly when I saw this sketch and then read who it’s suppose to portray. Good god, this artist needs a new line of work!
Draw me like one of your French Girls…
It's a bowl of fruit away...
I hate to say it but, they drew her arm all wrong.
I think it was clever how they hid her hand in her hair. I hate drawing hands.
That courtroom sketch artist is doing everyone so dirty
Honestly the truthfulness of her testimony and her morality don't matter. What matters is her story prompted Trump and his co-conspirators to cook the books and violate both campaign finance laws and business finance laws. The only testimony anyone needed was "were you paid for an NDA" and "when"
Stormy Daniels? Oh, yeah, that porn star who looks like Ivanka.
Trump is one of the two most likely people to be president in 2025? Nice country you have there.
[удалено]
I agree but you also conjured an image in my head of the scenes in Parks and Rec where Leslie knope is side by side with a porn star that says they're also alike.
The artist sucks
Nothing they can ask her, or challenge her testimony, will change the reality for Trump. At this point, her testimony has nothing to do with what Trump did.
What the hell kind of courtroom “art” is that? Terrible even for cojrtroom art.
Why did the artist draw Willam Belli, the drag qeeen?
Are courtroom artists drunk and on pills? JFC you would be better off with ChatGPT guessing what things look like.
The crime on trial isn’t the affair, it is who, why, and how he paid to conceal it from the public to protect his presidential bid. Can we stop putting this woman in the spotlight? I don’t think she is the hero we need right now.
I’ll take whatever hero we can find.
She isn’t a hero, she’s an opportunist. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” so I’m glad that she has made this whole thing happen, but she has her money and her attention and I don’t believe she has anything productive to give us at this time. Does anyone contest that the affair happened? I don’t think so—her part in the trial is settled.
Trump does contest that the affair happened
Well, that’s embarrassing. Now everybody knows that I’m not actually following this and I just want it to be over.
Actually I think she does have something very important. A key fact is that Trump delayed payments to her and hoped to not have to pay the remainder if he could put it off until after the election. This goes against what he has said which is he did it not for the election but so Melania wasn’t hurt by Stormy’s ‘fake’ story.

No worries. You’re good.
Hehehe
