Stormy Daniels Testifies That Trump Told Her She Reminded Him Of His Daughter—And NOPE

The adult film star testified in court on Tuesday that the ex-President told her she reminds him of 'his daughter' during their alleged affair.

Adult film star Stormy Daniels took the stand in Manhattan on Tuesday, providing testimony in Donald Trump's trial that sheds light on their alleged sexual encounter with the former president in 2006. The criminal trial in New York revolves around accusations that Trump falsified business records in an attempt to conceal hush money payments made to Daniels to silence her ahead of the 2016 general election.

In one moment that has raised eyebrows, Daniels claimed that during her meeting with Trump in his Lake Tahoe hotel room:


"He said I reminded him of his daughter because she's smart and blonde."

Although Trump denies they had sex, Daniels spoke under oath about the meeting, saying the two spent a "long time" together discussing various topics.

While Daniels did not specify which of Trump's daughters he was referring to, the comment is widely understood to refer to Ivanka Trump, who served as a senior adviser to her father and shares those characteristics.

It's well known that Trump has a long record of making odd comments about Ivanka. He has referred to her as "hot," and a "piece of ass," and once rather infamously remarked that if she wasn't his daughter, "perhaps [he'd] be dating her."

People were grossed out—though not really surprised—by Daniels' admission.



Trump's fascination with Ivanka has periodically made headlines.

Trump advisor Jason Miller once recalled that Trump called former football quarterback Tom Brady—a longtime friend—on his birthday in 2016 and left a voicemail saying that the "only one thing you weren't able to do" was "win" Ivanka.

Miles Taylor, who was Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the Trump administration, also confirmed Trump used to fantasize about Ivanka in front of staff. Taylor claimed that Trump's remarks about Ivanka were part of a broader pattern of sexism and inappropriate behavior toward women within his administration.

According to Taylor's book, Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump, aides noted that Trump talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [White House Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter."

High School Group Asks MAGA Rep. Why Trump Looks 'So Orange'—And His Answer Is Awkward AF

Things sure got awkward for Georgia Republican Representative Brian Jack after a group of students asked him during a Q&A session why President Donald Trump is "so orange."

People can only speculate what brand of makeup or bronzer Trump uses on a daily basis but there's a reason why he's been nicknamed "the orange man," "Agent Orange," and even "Mango Mussolini"—the color of his face is really, really hard to miss given he's photographed all the time.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was criticized after admitting in a recent audio clip that he'd just switched his wife's Newark Liberty International Airport flight to one out of LaGuardia Airport—despite previously claiming his family flies out of Newark Airport "all the time."

Duffy’s remarks came as staffing shortages caused major flight disruptions at Newark on Monday, with the F.A.A. forced to delay incoming flights from across the continental U.S. and parts of Canada. According to an online advisory, delays averaged over 1 hour and 40 minutes and in some cases stretched to nearly seven hours.
