Trump is on trial facing 34 felony charges for allegedly sending hush money to Daniels, who testified on Tuesday in unsettling detail about how everything allegedly went down between them.for allegedly paying her hush money ahead of the 2016 presidential election. And, based on everything I heard from Daniels today, I am reminded of the viralI don’t blame Daniels—she was just doing her part for democracy by answering prosecutors’ questions about everything that went down between her and Trump.
Over the course of those two hours, Daniels said she really wanted to eat dinner , testifying, “I pretty much had enough of his arrogance and cutting me off and still not getting my dinner.” So, when Trump took out a magazine featuring him on the cover, she says she told him, “Someone should spank you with that.” Trump then “gave me a look” as a dare, so Daniels “took it from him and I said turn around, and I swatted him” on the butt.
“That’s when I had that moment where I felt like the room spun in slow motion,” Daniels said. She remembered thinking to herself, “Great, I’ve put myself in this bad situation.” Trump “didn’t come at me, he didn’t rush at me, he didn’t put his hands on me, nothing like that.” Still, well, we’ve all heard what happened next.
