Donald Trump caught various West Wing officials off-guard on Tuesday when he decided to describe the woman alleging that theyd had an affair as having a horseface. But privately, the president not only thought that it was strategically smart to go after the adult film star Stormy Daniels in such a visceral way; he workshopped the insult prior to tweeting it.
Well before Trump mocked Daniels physical appearance, he trial-ballooned the horseface dig privatelyamong White House aides, close friends, and acquaintances. One source close to Trump even recalled him saying in passing, that fucking horseface.
The president often tosses around ideas for snide new nicknames in smack-talk sessions with associates, if only to gauge their reactions. And, as in past cases, the horseface incident saw Trump defying presidential norms (whatever those are anymore) and ignoring senior aides and confidants who advised him simply to let the matter go.
According to a White House official and two other sources who talk regularly to Trump, many people in his orbit had for months told the president it was best not to elevate Daniels by, for example, rage-tweeting about her. Trump, for his part, argued that hitting back publicly and hard at the porn actress would not only be right, but could prove politically advantageous.

She describes Trump's penis as "smaller than average" but "not freakishly small."
"He knows he has an unusual penis," Daniels writes. "It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool..."
"I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart...
I think that pretty much sums it up. Of course the guy had to swipe back. Here is the mushroom character in Mario Kart in case you weren't aware. I wasn't.
