Just when you think Donald Trump can’t possibly, conceivably sink any lower when it comes to general decorum, he occasionally still manages to surprise people. Today that surprise came to us in the form of his reaction to a federal judge dismissing adult film star Stormy Daniels‘ defamation lawsuit against him.
“Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees,” he tweeted furiously. “Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!”

Now, aside from the fact that literally the President of the United States lashed out by calling a private citizen a “horseface,” which in itself is a lot to unpack, he also accidentally (and accurately) referred to himself as “a total con” by his grammatically incorrect use of a comma instead of a semicolon.
He also spelled her name wrong, but really, with everything else, that’s the least concerning thing going on here.
At any rate, it didn’t take long for Daniels to respond to Trump’s petty insult, and it really says something that — as usual — she, an adult film star, handily managed to outwit, again, the President of the United States.
“In addition to his…umm…shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN!” Daniels wrote. “And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny.”
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. In addition to his…umm…shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny. https://t.co/6DpDD5ELtj

In addition to two jabs at Trump’s tiny mushroom penis, she also managed to adeptly turn his “horseface” insult back around at him. Simply beautiful.
But aside from Daniels, others understandably had, uh, thoughts about the president’s tweet, be they jokes or pointed observations.

I think that somewhere deep in his brain Trump remembers that Stormy rides horses and that’s why he has christened her horseface.

The 72-year-old president of the United States just called the porn actress he cheated on his wife with while she was home with their infant “horseface”. pic.twitter.com/SeUWnYkGCb

The 72-year-old president of the United States called a porn actress he cheated on his wife with “horseface” and now the porn actress is making fun of his tiny dick and suggesting he likes to fuck animals, is not a sentence I ever thought I’d type seriously.

Just your normal day when the President of the United States calls the porn star with whom he had unprotected sex and then constructed an elaborate scheme to cover it up, calls that porn star "Horseface" https://t.co/4K7uYAN6fm

Trump has been wanting to hit back at @StormyDaniels for mocking his manhood in her book. Today's tweet is not divorced from that. https://t.co/Xh9HaeW2eL

1) It's Stormy Daniels, not "Danials."
2) Referring to her as "Horseface" is disgusting, even by Trump's standards. pic.twitter.com/cdaLMRfqLF

Donald Trump called a woman he had an affair with "horseface," so at least we finally know why he called himself a stable genius.

"Mushroom dick vs. Horseface" is actually where we are right now, in case you were wondering.

Trump is positioning Republicans as the anti-woman party.
"Horseface" is an insult that only a true misogynist could overlook. https://t.co/P9DIo8cYRR

As horrifying as this all is, others issued reminders that we can’t let Trump’s shiny new tirade distract us from other important issues at hand.
“Please don’t let the President calling the porn star he cheated on his wife with a horseface distract from his passively condoning the murder of a journalist” is a cool normal thing we can now say

"horseface-gate"is another HUGE diversion from the Saudi assassination story which is nothing but bad for Trump. Don't fall for it.

A total con, indeed.
