Stormy Affair

THE CHAPTER ONDONALD TRUMPIN ADULT -FILM ACTOR STORMY DANIELS S BOOK ISSLIM BUT SUITABLYSCANDALOUS

- Mandira Nayar

Donald Trump’s presidency has created a whole new genre of writing—the Trump tell-all. Now, adult-film actor and director Stormy Daniels, who had a dalliance with Trump in 2006, has come out with details that live up to her book’s title Full Disclosure. The chapter on Trump is slim, graphic and suitably scandalous with vivid details about anatomy.

Daniels arrives at Trump’s room for dinner. There is none. They eat pretzels, drink water (Daniels doesn’t drink. Trump doesn’t like the taste of alcohol, she claims). Of course, there is an encounter, less than two minutes, that leaves Daniels unimpressed. Trump, however, denies the encounter.

The book offers a glimpse of a smart, feisty woman who may have chosen to have an affair with Trump, but it was a calculated move. She narrates an incident when she tells him to trim his eyebrows because he looks like a Muppet. The first time she meets him, she rolls a magazine and spanks him (as punishment for turning up to meet her in black silk PJs). Trump has tweeted that she is a “total con job”. Daniels has stuck to her story, despite the backlash on Twitter. The battle has only just begun.

EXTRACTS

KEITH LET ME into Trump’s bungalow, where he was waiting.

“Honey bunch,” he said, “you made it. I’m ordering us dinner. You must have the steak. It is fabulous. Fabulous.”

I was just relieved that we were actually going to have food this time.
