Trump calls porn star ‘Horseface’ and senator ‘Pocahontas’

WaShingtOn: A budding diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia, Hurricane Michael’s wreckage to clean up, stock market jitters, and ... President Donald Trump’s standout act Tuesday was to brand porn star Stormy Daniels “Horseface”. That wasn’t all.

The US leader, who revels in making up nicknames for opponents and critics, also launched tweets about “Pocahontas” Elizabeth Warren, a liberal senator seen as a potential 2020 presidential candidate, whom Trump ridicules for trying to prove she is part Native American.

But the equine insult was the most startling moment of a day when the White House officially signalled that “THE PRESIDENT has no public events scheduled” – apparently leaving him free to cut loose on Twitter.

Stormy Daniels, a blond 39-yearold whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, had a defamation suit against Trump thrown out by a federal judge on Monday.

The judge also ruled that Daniels should pay Trump’s legal fees. Trump was gleeful.

“Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer,” he tweeted.

Daniels is one of numerous women alleging they have had affairs or have been sexually harassed by Trump.

In a recent salacious book, Full Disclosure, Daniels claimed to reveal the then future president’s tendency toward petulance, “tantrums”, and the mushroom-like shape of his penis.

But in his jubilant tweet on Tuesday, Trump pronounced: “She knows nothing about me, a total con!”

Daniels gave as good as she got – by Twitter, of course.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president,” she tweeted. “In addition to his ... umm ... shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny.”
