Trump and ‘Horseface’ let rip

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 on Tuesday was to brand porn star Stormy Daniels “Horseface”.

The US leader 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”.

Stormy Daniels, 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 third-rate lawyer,” he tweeted.

Daniels is one of numerous women alleging they have had affairs or been harassed by Trump. In her book, Full Disclosure, Daniels claimed the then future president has a tendency for petulance, “tantrums” and the mushroom-like shape of his penis. But in his tweet on Tuesday, Trump said: “She knows nothing about me, a total con!” Daniels fired back on Twitter. “May I present your president. 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.”
