Former President Donald Trump sparked nationwide controversy in 2018 with a scathing tweet aimed at adult film star Stormy Daniels, labeling her as “Horseface” and disparaging her attorney, Michael Avenatti, as a “3rd rate lawyer.” This digital salvo further fueled the ongoing legal battles between the ex-President and the former adult film performer, as reported by Inquisitr on Saturday, December 23.
The provocative tweet followed a rare legal triumph for Trump, wherein a federal judge in California ruled in his favor, compelling Daniels to reimburse the President’s legal fees. This judicial victory injected renewed vigor into the already strained legal skirmishes between Trump and Daniels.
In response to Trump’s derogatory comments, Avenatti denounced the President as a “disgusting misogynist” and branded him a “liar,” accusing him of bringing shame upon his family and the nation.

The war of words intensified as Avenatti threw down the gauntlet, challenging Trump to unveil the extent of his alleged infidelities. In a pointed tweet, Avenatti declared, “Bring everything you have because we are going to demonstrate to the world what a complete shyster and liar you are.”
Daniels herself did not hold back, launching a verbal counterattack against Trump’s personal life. In a tweet, she candidly stated, “Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. 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.”
Undeterred by widespread criticism, Trump remained unapologetic during an interview, steadfastly defending his derogatory reference to Daniels as “horseface.” When questioned about the appropriateness of critiquing a woman’s appearance, he retorted, “You can take it any way you want.”
This unapologetic stance only intensified the online backlash, with many users seizing the opportunity to mock Trump’s linguistic misstep in the tweet and highlighting the unintentional self-deprecation.
The clash between Trump and Daniels originated from her claim of a 2006 affair with the then-businessman, culminating in a defamation lawsuit against him. Tensions escalated when Trump criticized Daniels for releasing a sketch of an individual she alleged had threatened her in 2011, attempting to silence her about their reported relationship. This legal saga unfolded in the public eye, creating a spectacle that captured attention from all corners.
Adding a dramatic twist to the narrative, Trump encountered a significant setback as the Colorado Supreme Court excluded him from the state’s presidential primary ballot. The landmark decision cited Trump’s alleged role in inciting the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol as grounds for disqualifying him from contention for the nation’s highest office.
As the legal battles and war of words between Trump, Daniels, and Avenatti unfolded, the nation witnessed a political drama blending personal vendettas with courtroom clashes, leaving an indelible mark on the intersection of entertainment and politics.
