Usually, Donald Trump drinks 12 bottles of dietary coca-kola per day, but for more than a month he has been spending most of the week in court, where he is allowed to drink only water, released only during breaks and recently began to seriously threaten Kutuzka for violating the ban on public reviews about the witnesses of the prosecution, which he did not praise.
Trump is judged by the fact that the money that he paid before the 2016 elections for the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels, who allegedly sinned with him 10 years before, was introduced into the internal sheets of his company as “legal expenses”. The prosecutor’s office, apparently, also qualifies these payments as interference in the elections, but this charge is still not written in court documents, so I wrote “Apparently throughout”.
Last week, the hero of the celebration of Stormy Daniels, which I would be distant, just called just Stormy, sat on the witness place. Since the elevation, on which Judge Juan Merchan sits, is advanced forward and is between them, the witness could not see Trump, and he - her. The press for the mass did not know this and in vain talked about the views that seemed to exchanged the main characters of the drama, which unfolds on the 15th floor of a 17-story court building in the southern part of Manhattan.
Stormy is now 45 years old, and in 2006, when they met Trump at the Golf celebrity tournament near California Tahoe, there were 27. Trump now 77, and at the time of their acquaintance there were 60, which she did not know then, but, according to her, she thought that the New York billionaire is older than her father.

The witness, who appeared in the court in a black dress, a black sweater with a hood and dark glasses, said that she recognized Trump at the tournament by his reality show “Outwork”, commercials and fleeting performances in television programs about professional resling.
Trump became interested in the occupation of his new acquaintance and invited her to have dinner at his hotel together, and then invited her to his room. She showed that she accepted his invitations on the advice of her agent, who believed that this acquaintance would help her career as a porn actress, screenwriter and director of films for adults.
Stormy told the jury that the Trump number was three times more than her then apartment. The owner met her in silk pajamas. "Did you steal her at Hefner?" She cut, referring to the publisher of the magazine "Playboy" Hugh Hefner, who often flaunted in such outfits. Trump changed clothes.
All evening, he bombarded her with atypical questions for such conversations about the porn industry, asking, in particular, there is a trade union in it.
“Most people who are talking to me about my work,” she said, “are interested in things of sexual. But there were well -thought -out questions about the business. ”
Trump also said that he may invite her to participate in her reality show. Stormy did not show much enthusiasm, noting that they are unlikely to take a porn actress on the show. But Trump, according to her, tried to encourage her. “You remind me of my daughter,” he said. “She’s smart, blonde, beauty, and people also underestimate her.”
Trump showed the guest photo of his wife Melania and in passing told that they were sleeping in different rooms. He also showed Stormy a magazine with his photo on the cover. She considered that it was cheap bragging, and threatened Trump to spank. In response, he turned the magazine with a tube, handed it Stormy and turned to her backwards. “I slapped his ass,” she put it in court.
According to the witness, she went to the toilet and, among other things, climbed out of curiosity into the Trump cosmetic bag, in which she found a gold manicure set, the Pert Plus shampoo and the Old Spice cologne. When she returned from the toilet, Trump was waiting for her on the bed. He was in shorts and a T -shirt.
According to her, from this sight her head was spinning and darkened in her eyes. Defender Suzan Nekles found incredible that this could happen to the mother porn actress, who starred in almost 200 adult films and was a screenwriter and director of about one and a half hundred.
Nekles remarked to her during the cross interrogation that Stormy was filming with “naked men and women who had sex ... But the look of a man sitting on a bed in his underpants and a T -shirt, you were so embarrassed that your head was swirling, your arms and legs got colder, and it feels like you are losing consciousness?!” ”
The witness, who did not go into his pocket at all, was not at a loss and immediately replied that in such a situation, "you do not expect to see a man twice as older than you."
Soon he and Trump quickly sinned, after which Stormy retired. "Darling, we will be in touch!" - told her goodbye Trump. Answering the prosecutor’s question, the actress said that she did not insist on a condom, but on her initiative Trump did not use it.
Subsequently, they periodically intersected in Trump Tower, then in Los Angeles, where Trump again tried to master it, but was rejected. Neither in an interview, nor in her testimony, the woman never claimed that she was a victim of Trump's harassment, and more than once she strongly denied it.
Nevertheless, she admitted at the cross interrogation that she hates Trump.
His defender Suzan Nekles quoted the witness’s tweet, in which she calls herself the only person who can lower the “orange poop” to the toilet, that is, Trump.

Nekles also presented Stormy her next tweet: “I should not have a horseradish and I will never give an orange packet no cent!” Some jury giggled. It was about more than 660 thousand dollars, which the court ordered Stormi to pay Trump to cover his court costs when she lost the lawsuit for slander.
The witness said that she called Trump in revenge for the offensive nicknames with which he awarded her at one time. The terms of Horseface (horse muzzle) and Sleazbag (scum) were meant.
Trying to show that Stormy tried to make money on meeting Trump, the lawyer Nekles reminded the witness that in 2018–2019. She made a tour of the American strip clubs under the motto of Make America Horney Again (“We will make America again lustful”), inspired by the Make America Great AGain with the Trick's slogan (“We will make America again the great”).
Stormy retorted that she could not stand this name and never used it herself, although some promoters used it on their own initiative. In response, Nekles presented her two posts from Instagram*, in which Stormy used it herself, and she admitted that she had used it.
According to the defense, this was not the only example of how Stormy tried to make money on meeting Trump. Nekles noted that she sold souvenirs online under this sauce: for example, candles with the name "Stormy, holy accusations." It was a transparent hint of a whole bouquet of accusations against Trump on the eve of the 2024 elections.
Stormy retorted that this technique was in the spirit of Mr. Trump, hinting that his headquarters was making money on his court affairs, selling, for example, circles with his police photograph.
In the end, Stormy was carried to the wrong steppe.
She said that she once lived in New Orleans in a ghost house and that the spirits attacked her boyfriend and kept him under water. She also affected the medium and a parapsychological ranger.
No wonder the liberal lawyer Andrew Vaisman, whom the Trumplers reckoning the main persecutors of their idol, called her colorful.
“But as a witness, she was inappropriate,” Vaisman added, speaking this week on the Levakian television channel Em-Es-En-Bi.

In the same spirit, the retired federal federal judge Shira Shendlin, who was presiding in the process of Russian Viktor Buta, spoke in the same spirit, who was in 2011. I served this process from the call to the call and found out that the judge is a liberal and a supporter of judicial reform, that is, the mitigation of punishments. She sentenced Buta exactly to the time that the law demanded, that is, by 25 years, but it was much less than the prosecutor's office demanded. At the process, Schendlin criticized the prosecutors for characterizing Buta as a terrorist, whom the judge did not consider him, seeing only a businessman in him.
Schendlin described the testimony of Stormy as “definitely creating a prejudice” against the defendant and “have nothing to do with this criminal case”. The witness “definitely dumped a bunch of dirty linen,” Schendlin continued. “The goal, it seems, was to portray the accused as an extremely unpleasant person-not because of his political views, but because he treated women.”
Trump is accused of falsifying financial documents, which is allegedly buried by his illegal interference in the 2016 election campaign ("supposedly", since this part of the prosecution is still not entirely clear). Stormy knew nothing about this and could not add anything on the merits of the matter. The question arises: why did the prosecutor’s indications be needed.
“Why? - the intercessors of Trump will ask. - To humiliate him! " This word is found in their comments constantly. “The testimony of Daniels will remain a shameful milestone in the annals of criminal proceedings,” wrote Jerge Washington Jonathan Turley, jurisdiction from the University of George Washington. - For two days, she voiced the sloppy and absolutely nothing to do with the case, the only purpose of which was to humiliate Donald Trump.
She admitted that the prosecutor’s office dragged her to testify, and it was clear that she was not to win the process, but in order to win in the elections. ”
This week, the prosecutors released their most important witness - the former personal lawyer of the defendant Michael Cohen, who was in the center of all the events incriminated by Trump, and then hesitated and hated him, because he did not take him with him to Washington.
The reaction to the testimony of Cohen, which may be the last witness of the accusation, directly corresponded to the views of the commentators: the same professor Turnley, for example, argued that the witness did not tell anything new to the jury, and the speaking heads of the progressive SIN-EN and EM-E-En-Bi, on the contrary, noted with a sense of deep satisfaction, that Cohen surpassed the expectations and the expectations and the expectations and the expectations and the expectations and the expectations and the expectations. Now Trump is definitely not to be a concise.
