As Donald Trump's upcoming trial approaches, this time for allegedly using campaign funds to pay hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels, his supporters are once again bothering and making threats towards her. But this time, Daniels says, they are much worse – almost 'like suicide bombers.'
Daniels visited “The View” on Thursday morning for the first time in six years and immediately remarked that it doesn't feel like it has been that long, but also somehow feels longer. In fact, Daniels acknowledged that her whole life feels like it is in a 'time warp'.
“It's the strangest feeling to be in this situation where time is sort of not real,” she explained. “And the frustrating part about it is, or the challenging part, is that I had started to do really well, things had gotten quiet. I had moved, you know, my daughter was able to go back to school and things like that. And then suddenly the indictment happens and all of this stuff. So it was like, 2018 all over again.”
Daniels mentioned that, just like in 2018, she's been receiving threatening and hateful messages from Trump supporters, 'except now they're more cruel, because they've been encouraged.'
“They're more like suicide bombers this time around, where they honestly, truly believe that they are being patriotic and that I am the devil,” Daniels said.
However, at least the messages are not coming as frequently as they did several years ago.
“The frequency and the amount was a lot more,” Daniels explained. “But it was more, you know, superficial, like just calling me names mostly associated with my job. Or that I was just a gold digger, or somehow profiting off of all of this.”
Daniels took a moment to pause at that, and explain that she's not actually receiving money for virtually any of her TV or documentary appearances. She even playfully made fun of the fact that all she received from “The View” was a mug.
That being said, she can't help but chuckle at the fact that many of Trump’s supporters aren’t exactly being secretive about sending their threats.
“I’ve had people text me from their actual phone number,” Daniels joked. “And I’m just like, of course you’re a Trump supporter, because you’re not even good at being bad!”
