Stormy Daniels is known as many things — a former porn star who says she had sex with former President Donald Trump and was paid $130,000 to keep quiet; a star witness in Trump’s hush-money trial that starts Monday with jury selection; and, to MAGA supporters, a Twitter/X assassin known for one-line daggers.
And over the past few days, as she prepares to return to the spotlight in a Manhattan courtroom showdown with Trump, Daniels — who has 1.3 million followers on Twitter alone — has been firing zingers on social media.
In an exchange on Friday, a MAGA supporter wrote, “Stormy Daniels is a parasite that would sell anything for a dollar,” and Daniels responded, saying, “Not true. I wouldn’t sell Bibles.”
Daniels was mocking the cash-strapped Trump, who last month — just in time for Easter — urged supporters to buy the “God Bless the USA Bible” for $59.99. “Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible,” Trump wrote on social media.

Daniels’ swipe at Trump’s religion-for-cash scheme was just one of several.
When a MAGA fan wrote, “Sad day when fools believe a stripper before they believe the president. Keep sucking up the lies,” Daniels responded, “Sad day when a stripper is more honest than the (former, impeached, indicted) president ...”
When a second Trump fan called her “a whore who’s on her 4th marriage,” Daniels replied, “Sounds like I have the credentials to run for president ... my current spouse is even a ‘nude model.’ Does it still count if I didn’t buy him a green card or big ‘kidneys’?”
On “The View,” she recently compared Trump’s supporters to suicide bombers as they ramp up their attacks.
“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.”
She added: “And the sad part about it is, or the tricky 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.”
When Trump supporters re-surfaced a letter she supposedly wrote, denying the affair, Daniels reminded them that she wrote the letter in order to get paid.
