After judge throws out lawsuit filed by former porn actress, president calls her ‘Horseface’
Mr. Trump’s representatives have denied that he had a sexual encounter with Ms. Clifford and that he had any involvement in the payment.
Mr. Trump has told advisers for months he wanted to publicly push back on Ms. Clifford’s allegations, which in the past year have dominated headlines on cable networks the president closely monitors, according to people familiar with the conversations. His advisers have told him they had seen no signs that the allegations were hurting him with voters and have warned him that it would look inappropriate for the president to engage in a public spat with a former porn star.
.. Before issuing the tweet Tuesday, Mr. Trump had taken to calling Ms. Clifford “Horse face” in private, according to a person familiar with the matter. His representatives have denied that he had an affair with her.
.. Mr. Trump has previously attacked women for their looks. In an interview with Rolling Stone during the 2016 campaign, he said of Republican primary opponent Carly Fiorina: “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?”
He also attacked a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct, telling supporters at a rally in Florida in October 2016: “Take a look. Look at her. Look at her words. And you tell me what you think. I don’t think so.”
All the times President Trump has insulted North Korea
October 1999: ‘Sort of wacko‘
January 2000: ‘Very bad people’
September 2015, Trump called Kim a “maniac”
Feb 2016: “I mean this guy’s a bad dude
Aug 8, 2017: “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen,”
In April he called Kim a “smart cookie.”
He doubled down on the “fire and fury” comment. “If anything, maybe that statement wasn’t tough enough,” he said.
“Kim Jong Un of North Korea made a very wise and well reasoned decision,” Trump tweeted. “The alternative would have been both catastrophic and unacceptable!”
I spoke with President Moon of South Korea last night. Asked him how Rocket Man is doing.
“Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself,” he said.
Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn’t mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!
.. Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me “old,” when I would NEVER call him “short and fat?” Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend – and maybe someday that will happen
The Chinese Envoy, who just returned from North Korea, seems to have had no impact on Little Rocket Man. Hard to believe his people, and the military, put up with living in such horrible conditions. Russia and China condemned the launch.
Trump Campaign Files Complaint Saying Ex-Staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman Breached Secrecy Pact
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign filed a complaint against former White House official and campaign aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, alleging she violated a confidentiality agreement signed during his 2016 presidential bid.
A Trump campaign official said in a brief statement Tuesday that the claim was filed with the American Arbitration Association of New York City. The statement doesn’t specify how Ms. Manigault Newman might have violated the agreement.
.. . On Twitter on Tuesday, he called Ms. Manigault Newman a “dog” while denying her contention that he used a racial slur.
.. Ms. Manigault Newman has said during her book promotions that she has heard a recording of Mr. Trump using the N-word racial slur. On Monday night, the president wrote on Twitter that Mark Burnett, the television executive who created Mr. Trump’s “Apprentice” franchise, had told him no tapes exist from the production of the show in which he used “such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa.”
“I don’t have that word in my vocabulary,” he wrote.
.. Mr. Kelly called Ms. Manigault Newman into the Situation Room last December and fired her, a meeting she recorded despite protocols barring staff from bringing electronic devices into the secure space in the White House basement.
Mr. Trump tweeted on Monday that Mr. Kelly had wanted to fire her immediately after becoming chief of staff last summer, but held off because the president believed she had said “only GREAT things about me.”
.. The last recording was aired Tuesday on CBS News. In it, Ms. Manigault Newman said, she and other campaign aides are heard discussing the possible existence of a tape in which Mr. Trump uses the N-word. One aide said she had talked to then-candidate Trump about the matter. The aide said she asked him, “Can you think of any time this might have happened, and he said, ‘No.’ ”
Ms. Manigault Newman is then heard saying, “Well, that’s not true.”
The first aide later said that Mr. Trump had told her, “Why don’t you just go ahead and put it to bed.”
