It’s hardly surprising that walking into the courtroom was a scary experience for Stormy Daniels. The NYPD had been forced to erect barriers in a bid to keep the angry mob at bay. Although some Daniels supporters were in the crowd, it seemed the most vocal and visible were the hardcore MAGA fans and some of Donald’s most loyal political allies and wannabe VPs.
Daniels made some brutal digs at Donald from the witness stand, and her testimony infuriated Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Eric, who had a front-row seat to the proceedings, brushed off Daniels’ claims as “garbage” in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Meanwhile, Don Jr. accused Daniels of flip-flopping and accused her of straight-up lying on X.
Daniels’ life was transformed for the worse forever in January 2018 after The Wall Street Journal reported on her alleged affair with Donald Trump, as well as the attempted cover-up. She detailed a fraction of the horrendous ordeal she’d been through in the Peacock documentary “Stormy.” In it, Daniels explained, “I am here today to tell my story, and even if I just change a few people’s minds, it’s fine. If not, at least my daughter can look back on this and know the truth.” She claimed somebody shot at one of her horses with rubber bullets and said she’s been subjected to increasingly obscene insults, messages, and even death threats, ranging from being called a “liar, s***, gold digger” to “I’m going to come to your house and slit your throat.” It’s no wonder, then, that a bulletproof vest seemed like the best attire for her walk the courtroom.
