Trump Stays Silent on Stormy Daniels

March 26, 2018 · 1:51 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“After sixty-one weeks in the White House, President Trump has found two people he won’t attack on Twitter: Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal,” the New York Times reports.

“The verbose commander-in-chief has posted more than 2,900 times on Twitter since taking office, using the term ‘FAKE NEWS’ to describe everything from the Russia probe and allegations of chaos in the White House to harassment accusations, the size of his inaugural crowds and heated arguments with world leaders.”

“But he has been uncharacteristically silent in recent days — to the relief of his advisers — as a pornographic film star and a Playboy model described intimate details of sexual encounters with Mr. Trump. Stormy Daniels, the porn star, said Sunday night on CBS’s 60 Minutes that she once spanked the president with a copy of Forbes magazine bearing his face on the cover.”
