Stormy Daniels sat down with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes last night to talk about her alleged 2006 affair with Donald Trump which he tried paying her $130,000 in hush money not to talk about.
In last night’s interview, Daniels said the sex with Trump was consensual but that she wasn’t even remotely attracted to him, that he didn’t use a condom, and that she spanked him with a rolled up magazine.

She also claimed that Trump told her he reminded him of his daughter and that he promised her a spot on The Apprentice. Oh, and he had someone threaten her with violence in a Las Vegas gym parking lot if she didn’t “Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Not surprisingly, Twitter had a lot to say about the whole thing…
One way you know Stormy Daniels is a serious threat to Trump:
He has never once tweeted her name

Since you love talking about ratings so much, Mr. Trump, I'm sure you will love to know that the Stormy Daniels interview on 60 Minutes last night had the highest ratings in 10 years. Congrats! #StormyDanielsInterview

So, uhhhh, what did you all think of that #StormyDaniels interview on #60minutes, especially that part about Trump being spanked with a magazine with his face on the cover?
???Sad!

Standout part of this interview is Stormy Daniels saying she wasn’t attracted to Trump. He was incredibly proud of the “Best Sex I Ever Had” NY Post front page. That won’t sit well.

So now that the Stormy interview has happened, all of the Trump minions have switched from….
This is a lie made up by the Fake Media
to
So what if he had sex with her? Trump gets good looking women.

So she spanked him?!?!? Sort of gives new meaning to the term “spank the monkey,” doesn’t it?

This is a big SO WHAT… I can’t believe that all parties allegedly involved did not think of all others this would involve… Trump is a pig, so what! But it is of my opinion that both Stormy & atty. Avenetti are opportunists… why now? 12yrs later, WHY NOW????? And Mr. Avenetti states on Fox’s Shannon Bream’s interview that this is a pro bono case when asked who’s paying for his services, and a go fund me page has been set up? Hmmmmmm???YEAH RIGHT!!!! It’s all about MONEY!!! I’ve read Avenettis bio & I used to reside where his offices are located in Orange County. The rent is definately cheap there. Again, I’m just pissed that if there was an alleged affair, nobody thought of the extended families they have hurt. Again, why now?? Stormy & Atty, Your 15 mins of fame will soon be over, the countless lies, it’s been all he said she said with no physical photos, videos, etc: again MONEY… I just pray that the children of all parties involved are considered when making your next move. Mr. Avenetti, lower your tone a notch, you sound angry. Finally, it’s all about MONEY & all should be ashamed as children utilize the webs.
Creamsicle
Children utilize the web? That’s your best argument? You realize that the internet is like 80% porn and 18% cats, right?
And if you’re so shocked and offended by a lawyer and his client presenting evidence of an affair and a clear (but incomplete) contract trying to keep her from talking to the media. Then shouldn’t you be equally outraged by THE MAN WHO HAD THE AFFAIR?
Apolodorus
Dude, your post is way to intense for a person who defends this doesn’t matter:-)

Why now? Here’s why.
Because Trump’s stupid attorney paid Stormy $130,000 using a Trump Organization email to keep quiet about this affair just before the election. If true, then that violates federal campaign laws, and Trump goes to jail. Thats why.
So why now? Because Trump’s stupid attorney had Stormy sign an NDA, aka, gag order, exchange for that $130K. But HE started talking about it. Once one party talks about an NDA, it releases the other person from being bound by it. Since Trump’s stupid attorney started talking a few weeks ago, Stormy rightly figured its her time to talk.
Yes, she’s after the money. But she has also offered to repay that $130K to Trump to allow her to talk about every thing. So far, he has not taken her up on that offer. Why not?
Yes, she’s after the money. Something wrong with that? Trump is after the money too — it’s why he bills huge fees to the RNC offices in Trump tower. It’s why he continues to operate Trump Hotel in Washington and have all the foreign lobbyists stay there.
She was also threatened by Trump’s people. You don’t think there is anything wrong with that? That she should keep quiet about it? I don’t think so.
So no, this isn’t just about an affair — it’s about violation of federal law.
captainburrito
I’ve not kept up with this but why is he doing the squirming, dodging and denial thing instead of just admitting it outright to put it to rest? Like you say, he’s a pig, no one was under any other impression anyway… So what does he have to lose?
DCguy
Violating Election laws. That’s what.

Sorry, the rent is definately not cheap in Orange County, CA.

@Apolodorus
Of course he’s out to serve his country. He had an easy life and didn’t have to run for President but he did. It would’ve been more financially beneficial to him to not even run for President
Tête Carrée
But not as beneficial to the ego. Yes, his becoming (accidentally) president was an entirely selfless act.
DCguy
My My My, how weird, one of the anti-lgbt screenames, who continually tried to attack Hillary Clinton for her husband cheating now is trying to say the story doesn’t matter when it applies to Trump hmmmmm.
Why, this would only make sense if this was done by a troll screename whose only job was to do whatever it could to support anti-lgbt politicians and attack pro-lgbt ones.
Hmmmmm
Kangol
@mhoffman953, she’s already made big bucks. Admit it, your beloved Trumpkin is a lying, racist, corrupt, treasonous, freakish sack of sh!t, and he’s so duplicitous he can’t even admit he banged this woman, admitted he abused others, probably even raped some as they’ve alleged, even though he had his creepo lawyer pay her off. He ought to be rotting behind bars!
mhoffman953
@DCguy
No, I attacked Hillary Clinton for supporting her rapist husband to point out the double standard which exists. Bill Clinton raped and assaulted women while in office and even settled with Paula Jones out of court when she took him to court.
Sure, if someone cheats on their spouse, it’s not something to be proud of. However, none of that has to do with leading a country unless that President is doing it while on the job.
Cylest Brooks
Didn’t the Stormy affair take place, at least partially, while he was in office? Is that not “while on the job” enough because it wasn’t specifically in the Oval Office?

“Didn’t the Stormy affair take place, at least partially, while he was in office? Is that not “while on the job” enough because it wasn’t specifically in the Oval Office?”
No. Stormy Daniels said they had sex once in 2005. Trump took office in January 2017

Uh, because she is a sex worker and got paid to have sex with trump? Seems like a good business opportunity.

Putin owns Trumpkin. OWNS him. It’s all coming out, and the scandal will make Watergate look like little league baseball by comparison.

I did watch 60 Minutes and I believe Stormy made truthful, sensible statements. She said it was not an affair, for her. That makes sense because Trump was much older than her, 60 years old. Because Trump is a narcissist, believing he is a star, he probably considers it an affair. Stormy admitted she lied which is understandable as many have lied about their sexual encounters, plus, it was embarrassing.
Trump obviously did this to Stormy and many other women, his Access Hollywood video tells us what Donnie thinks and does.
