Porn star Stormy Daniels said she spanked ex-President Donald Trump using a magazine that had his face on the cover during their alleged sexual affair.
Daniels detailed having dinner then sex with Trump, while taking the witness stand in his historic hush money trial. She said she met Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in July 2006 and accepted an invitation to a restaurant, then went upstairs to his penthouse hotel suite.
During dinner, Daniels said she asked Trump: ‘Are you always this rude? Are you always this arrogant and pompous? Like you don’t even know how to have a conversation.’
In his hotel room, Daniels said she became frustrated that Trump kept cutting off her responses.

When he took out a magazine with himself on the cover, Daniels recounted saying, ‘Someone should spank you with that.’
Daniels said she rolled up the magazine and ‘swatted’ Trump.
One of the jurors in Manhattan Criminal Court started rubbing her face and seemed to be suppressing her laughter at that account, NBC News reported.
Daniels said Trump acted ‘much more polite’ after she spanked him and suggested that she appear on his TV show The Apprentice.

She said Trump told her, ‘You remind me of my daughter,’ and that going on his show would prove that she should not be underestimated.

Daniels said Trump presumably was referring to his eldest Ivanka Trump, in saying: ‘She’s smart and blonde and beautiful and people underestimate her as well.’
Daniels’ comment about Trump’s daughter is one she has uttered before. Daniels told In Touch magazine in 2011: ‘He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart just like his daughter.’ When the alleged affair happened, Trump’s younger daughter who is also blonde, Tiffany Trump, was 13 years old, so Daniels assumed he was referring to Ivanka.
Trump has notoriously made numerous compliments publicly about Ivanka, whom he appointed as his senior White House adviser while president.

Daniels – whose alleged sexual affair with Trump is at the center of his hush money trial – also said Trump told her not to worry about his wife Melania Trump because they didn’t ‘even sleep in the same room’.
Trump shook his head slightly and gave a sour look as Daniels mentioned his wife on the witness stand on Tuesday morning, according to The New York Times.
Daniels, who was 27 years old at the time, said sex with Trump who was around 60 was brief. She said Trump told her ‘it was great’, and said, ‘Let’s get together again, honey bunch’.
Trump did show any concern that Melania would find out about the encounter, Daniels added.
