President Trump calls Stormy Daniels horseface in new tweet


 

 

President Trump called Stormy Daniels horseface in a tweet on Tuesday morning as he reacted to a judge’s dismissal of a defamation lawsuit the adult film star brought against him earlier this year.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, sued Trump in April after he said a composite sketch of a man she said threatened her in 2011 to keep quiet about an alleged affair with the real estate mogul was a con job.

Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, responded in his own tweet, calling Trump a disgusting misogynist.

Daniels also tweeted in response to the president, and amid her own attacks on his physical appearance said he he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter.

Trump’s highly personal insult comes as he and his party are struggling to earn the support of women three weeks before a crucial midterm election contest that could alter the balance of power in Congress.

A recent CNN poll found that 63 percent of women surveyed said they’d vote for the Democratic candidate in a generic ballot matchup, while only 33 percent said they’d vote Republican.

Trump has been criticized for his past personal attacks on women who have criticized him, often referencing their looks.

Last year, Trump was condemned by politicians on both sides of the aisle when he claimed that MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski was bleeding badly from a face-lift when she visited his Mar-a-Lago estate.

In 2016, Trump suggested at a Florida rally that the crowd should consider the appearance of Natasha Stoynoff in weighing her accusation that he sexually assaulted her.

Take a look, you take a look. Look at her, look at her words, you tell me what you think. I don’t think so, he said.

Around that same time and also at a campaign rally, he denied the accusations from another woman who has accused him of sexual misconduct, also by suggesting she was not attractive enough.

Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you, he said of Jessica Leeds.

Again in 2016, Trump said then-Fox News host Megyn Kelly had blood coming out of her wherever during a presidential debate in which she brought up his history of attacking women’s looks.

He reposted a photo of Republican Senator Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi, that compared her unfavorably to his own wife, Melania.

Trump also disparaged the looks of Carly Fiorina, a former GOP primary campaign rival, according to a 2015 Rolling Stone profile.

Look at that face! he said, according to the magazine. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?
