Donald Trump Tells Porn Star During ‘Affair’: You Remind Me Of Ivanka

The porn star named Stormy Daniels reportedly told a magazine six years ago that during an affair with now-President Donald Trump, he told her that she was “smart and beautiful” like his daughter Ivanka.

Trump is known for making creepy comments about Ivanka, who along with husband Jared Kushner works in the White House as a presidential adviser.

Daniels, the star of “Good Will Humping,” told InTouch in 2011 that she first had sex with Trump when he and wife Melania’s son Barron was three months old, according to the New York Post.

“He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart just like his daughter,” Daniels said, according to the Post.

The magazine will publish the interview for the first time in its Jan. 29 issue.

Daniels now denies the relationship, but she told the magazine that she and Trump met at a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada in 2006. InTouch confirmed Daniels’ story with friends and says she passed a polygraph test at the time.

The Wall Street Journal recent reported that she was paid $130,000 right before the 2016 election to stay silent about the affair in a deal brokered by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. Daniels now denies that too.
