Stephanie Clifford: In a time of rank cowardice, you are the precisely the opposite. Thanks for speaking out and for bringing this case and know that the majority of Americans have your back. We will not forget. ❤

[bonniel]

Blocking something out is another way of saying she disassociated. That is what happens with trauma.

[tonycalderon]

Keep in mind Stormy was 27 years old and Trump was 60 years old. Really makes a difference.

[denisefelhauer]

She is a very brave and intelligent woman. Thank you for your candor.

[GreenDistantStar]

I *do not care* if Joe slips during a debate or makes gaffes. He is not the monster being offered up as an alternative, any American still voting for Trump can't be much better than him. How sad for America, its moral compass down a golden toilet.

How many more and much younger girls did he abuse that are still afraid to come out and speak up against him?? His close friendship with a convicted child abuser and trafficker wasnt all sweetness and hugs, he admitted he like much younger girls many times…his words…how can’t people see this??!!

[sherrie]

I like hearing the court transcript read. It's evidence. Without cameras in the courtroom, it's the next best thing.

[MalenkyGoblin]

She's probably the most honorable Louisiana public figure right now.

[wbssjiy]

Stormy Daniel’s is an American hero- her courage and honesty.

[ggbythesea]

Thank YOU, Stormy. Your Courage is Inspiring. Take Care of Your Self 🕊🤲🏼

[jordanyo]

Traumatic encounter… she was ready and willing to get paid. She did as she wanted.

[RobertBandhauer]

"We love you, Stormy. Thank you for your courage. Stay strong! ❤ 🇺🇸

[joerogain]

I prefer my Presidential candidate not be a good friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

[mothersgauri]

Most Americans want to "block him out of memory" as well.

[TheRealNinjaMedic]

Rachel I’m a retired critical care flight paramedic, and former navy corpsman who suffers from PTSD. One of the most common S&S (signs and symptoms) of PTSD is he inability to remember specific details of the of the trauma causing event. Ms Daniel’s is suffering from PTSD!

[lillyfitzgerald]

Trump's intent was very clear irrespective of the description. I feel for Ms Daniels. No-one deserves the disrespect shown by him unclothing himself. Quite apart from that, the horrible thought of Trump and his body clad in boxers and T-shirt only, makes me puke.

[ignaciogarcia]

Don't ever put anyone on a pedestal because you will end up disappointed.

[nnmiici]

That is so traumatic for any woman...I had to put away my phone for a while as my memories come back....of being in a situation where I felt I could not get out of...some Stormy is a very strong woman.

[LastTrueConservative-orps]

Stormy was her high school class valedictorian. Something that no trump or trumper can claim.

[WatchingTheWorldGoRound]

She was a service provider, She did and got paid for her services. What is the problem here Y"all?
