Stormy spanks Trump’s lawyer
This week, porn star Stormy Daniels performed quite a snow job in court. She was the star witness for the prosecution at Trump’s hush money/election interference trial in New York.
I’ll skip the salacious details. Just know that Daniels testified about their infamous hotel room tryst, which included her spanking Trump.
The point is that, on direct examination by the prosecutor, Daniels came across like a nervous, defensive shrew. However, on cross-examination, she came across like an unflappable courtesan — as masterful in the courtroom as she is in the bedroom.
Only that explains Daniels getting the better of Trump’s high-priced lawyer, Susan Necheles. It was egregious enough that Necheles attempted to slut-shame Daniels, to no avail. Yet she persisted, trying to put impeachable words in Daniels’s mouth.
Except that Daniels proved she’s a pro in more ways than one. She kept demonstrating that nobody puts anything in her mouth that she doesn’t want there.
The effect? Necheles looked so hapless that legal analysts roundly agreed Daniels was a better witness for the prosecution on cross-examination than on direct.
Trump proudly boasts that he’s better at everything than everyone. Watching his lawyers perform, he might be right — in this case.
Stormy spanks Trump, again
Fittingly, Judge Juan Merchan halted Daniels’ testimony to admonish Trump’s lawyer to keep his client from cursing under his breath. That admonition speaks volumes about how much Daniels was getting under his skin.
Trump’s shamelessness is legendary, yet it’s dwarfed by his towering narcissism. So the humiliation Daniels was heaping on him was too much even for him to sit there and take.
Yet, things got even worse for him after she finished testifying. Because here is how she responded to his daily courthouse rant:
Surely, no woman has ever emasculated a powerful man so viscerally as Daniels emasculated Trump with that two-line tweet. Indeed, watching her goad Trump is like watching a dominatrix service a client who likes to be publicly humiliated.
Time to man up and take the stand, Donny Small Hands!
Spoiler Alert: Thanks to Trump’s polarizing and dystopian influence, America has become irredeemably tribal. That means this case will end with a hung jury. Because odds are, this jury has at least one MAGA supporter for whom Trump can do no wrong – facts be damned.
