The battle between President Trump and his alleged former mistress took a new turn in the wake of a California federal judge’s decision to toss out porn star Stormy Daniels‘ defamation lawsuit against him.
Trump claimed victory in a tweet this Tuesday where he quoted a Fox News segment that said he’s now “entitled” to go after Daniels and her lawyer Michael Avenatti to pay back his legal fees.
“Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas,” Trump tweeted. “She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!”

The tweet was just the latest installment in Trump’s history of attacking women’s physical appearance. Rosie O’Donnell, ex-GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski , NBC morning host Megyn Kelly — all these women have been on the receiving end of public insults from the President regarding their looks.
But Trump set himself up for the unique wrath of Daniels, who took to Twitter to respond.
Retweeting Trump’s tweet, Daniels wasn’t shy about insinuating certain things about Trump’s penis size — a detail that she allegedly has first-hand knowledge of.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president,” Daniels tweeted. “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.”

Avenatti jumped into the fray this morning and defended his client, tweeting that Trump is a “disgusting misogynist and an embarrassment to the United States.”
“Bring everything you have, because we are going to demonstrate to the world what a complete shyster and liar you are,” Avenatti tweeted. “How many other women did you cheat on your wife with while you had a baby at home?”
As Harper’s editor Jennifer Wright points out, times have changed when it comes to political feuds.
“I’m old enough to remember when we had Presidents who didn’t publicly call their mistress horseface before fighting about how small their dick was.”
