Stormy Daniels Dares Trump To Respond To Her Testimony By 'Taking The Stand' In Taunting Post

After she testified in Donald Trump's Manhattan election interference trial, Stormy Daniels took to X to dare him to respond to her testimony by 'taking the stand' himself.

After testifying in former President Donald Trump's Manhattan election interference trial, adult film star Stormy Daniels took to X, formerly Twitter, to dare him to respond to her testimony by "taking the stand" himself.

Daniels provided testimony in Trump's trial that sheds light on their alleged sexual encounter 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.


Daniels directed the following message at Trump:

"Real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court. Oh...wait. Nevermind."

You can see her post below.

Daniels' remark came after Trump's attorneys failed to convince Judge Juan Merchan to declare a mistrial based on Daniels’ testimony.

Trump's attorney Todd Blanche had asked Merchan to modify a gag order to let Trump address Daniels' testimony publicly. Merchan's denial marked the second time this week he's rejected the defense's bid for a mistrial.

Trump has not testified—but if he does, he'd open himself up to cross-examination, something his legal team no doubt wants to avoid.

And people loved how Daniels called him out on it.



Daniels testified for nearly five hours on Tuesday. She recalled her evening with Trump in 2006 at his luxurious Lake Tahoe hotel suite, where she was invited for dinner. Trump greeted her wearing silk pajamas and displayed rudeness, prompting her to playfully swat him with a rolled-up magazine. When she inquired about his wife, Trump reassured her that it was not an issue because they did not share the same bedroom.

Daniels went on to detail their sexual encounter, which occurred after she returned from the bathroom to find Trump in his boxer shorts and T-shirt. When she tried to leave, he blocked her way, though she noted it was not done in a threatening manner. She described the encounter as brief and mentioned a "power imbalance," while noting that she did not verbally refuse.

Her testimony prompted Trump to express his displeasure to his lawyers, muttering "bulls**t" loudly enough to receive a private reprimand from the judge, who deemed it "contemptuous."

On Thursday, Susan Necheles, another one of Trump's lawyers, tried to probe Daniels—who testified for seven hours—for inconsistencies. Daniels' testimony was described as "steadier" by The New York Times, which noted that she calmly pushed back against Necheles' attempt to get her to admit she had made up the story about sleeping with Trump.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
