At times as money grubbing, inconsistent, driven by personal hatred, even rolling out that shes crazy line of attack against her. At one point Attorney Susan Necheles said you have, quote, a lot of experience making phony stories about sex. To which daniels replied wow thats now how i would put it. The sex in the films is real just like what happened to me in that room. To try to prove that Stormy Daniels profited off her association with donald trump, trumps Defense Lawyers pointed out stormy sold merchandise to which Stormy Daniels fired back, quote, not unlike mr.
