Game on: ‘Tiny’ vs. ‘Horseface’

-

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called porn star Stormy Daniels “horseface” as he labeled her legal efforts against him a “total con!”

The online name-calling comes a day after a judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed against the president by Daniels.

“‘Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.’ @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!” Trump tweeted, misspellin­g the actress’s name.

Monday’s ruling does not affect a separate lawsuit Daniels, who claims to have had an affair with Trump in 2006, is bringing against the president regarding a 2016 nondisclos­ure agreement she signed.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, signed the hush agreement after she was paid $130,000 by Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to keep quiet about the alleged dalliance in the weeks before the election.

Cohen pleaded guilty to eight federal charges in August, including campaign finance violations related to the payment to Daniels. He also implicated Trump in the scheme, saying the payments were made “in coordinati­on with and at the direction of a federal candidate for office.”

On Tuesday, Daniels responded to Trump with a nickname of her own.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, 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,” she wrote.
