CLOSE
Porn star Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, sat down with Anderson Cooper in an interview about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump.
USA TODAY
On CBS’ 60 Minutes Sunday, porn star Stormy Daniels alleged that she once spanked future president Donald Trump, among many other things, but this was the key detail that seemed to immediately resonate on Twitter.Â
“Honestly, who doesn’t want to spank Donald Trump?” tweeted comedian Sarah Colonna. Â
In the interview, Daniels, who went public to speak out against the $130,000 non-disclosure agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election, said she met the businessman at a Lake Tahoe, Nev., celebrity golf tournament, and he showed her a copy of a magazine with his picture in the cover.
“And I was like, ‘Someone should take that magazine and spank you with it,'” she told interviewer Anderson Cooper.
She added that she told Trump to pull his pants off so she could spank him with it.Â
“And did he?” asked Cooper.
“Yes,” said Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. “I just gave him a couple swats.”
Partisans who show no love for the president, had a field day with the topic on Twitter, while conservatives fought back, bringing up older encounters Democrat Bill Clinton had with women before and during his presidency.Â
A porn star just said on 60 minutes that she took a magazine with Donald Trump’s face on it and spanked the president, with him only wearing his underwear.

“When will 60 Minutes interview Juanita Broaddrick, who alleges Bill Clinton raped her?” in 1978, wrote author/filmmaker Mike Cernovich.Â

Others pointed to the sheer absurdity of the situation.
Conservative actor Billy Baldwin, whose brother Alec portrays Trump as a buffoon on NBC’s Saturday Night Live said the interview “proved nothing. If she has definitive evidence, she’s telling the truth…she’s gonna have to come forward with it to silence critics.”
After watching Stormy Daniels on 60 Minutes… it’s sounds like a total he said/ she said.

I wonder if tRump has ever asked Melania to spank him with a magazine that has his face on it?

Do you think Mueller can deputize Stormy so she can hand deliver the indictment to Trump, maybe even spank him with it for old times sake…

And naturally, someone had to bring up the president’s relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, believes that Cohen invalidated a non-disclosure agreement after two news stories: One, in which Cohen told The New York Times that he made the six-figure payment with his personal funds, and another in the Daily Beast, which reported that Cohen was shopping a book proposal that would touch on Daniels’ story, said the manager, Gina Rodriguez.
