President Trump on Tuesday celebrated a federal judge's decision to dismiss Stormy Daniels' defamation lawsuit against him, and launched an insult her way in the process.
This was the first time Trump called Daniels out by her (misspelled) name, aside from one formal string of tweets using the porn star's real name in May.

Trump has apparently called Daniels "Horseface" in the past, but "privately," The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported.
