Stormy Daniels has claimed that Donald Trump has been spanked, reported The Independent. The porn actress responded to a critic on Twitter amid the on-going investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office into the hush money she received from Trump’s then-fixer Michael Cohen in 2016. “Sex with Stormy Daniels is traumatic enough. Hasn’t President Trump been punished enough?” wrote a Twitter user. Daniels replied: “I think he needs another spanking”. She added that it is “common knowledge” that Trump has “been spanked”.
