Donald Trump told Stormy Daniels that she "reminds me of my daughter" because she is "smart, blonde and beautiful and people underestimate her," a court heard on Tuesday.
Ms Daniels claims the comments were made as they discussed the possibility of her appearing on 'The Celebrity Apprentice.'
Ms Daniels said in her testimony: "I said, 'even you don’t’ have this much power.' He said, 'you remind me of my daughter because she’s smart, blonde, and beautiful and people underestimate her.' The way he framed it did actually make perfect sense."
Speaking in court, Ms Daniels also said she was concerned at the time that going on the show would hurt her image.
"What if I lose on the first episode?", she remembers asking.
"I told very few people that we had actually had sex because I felt ashamed that I didn’t stop it."
In the early moments of her testimony, Daniels told jurors under questioning from prosecutors that she met Trump because the adult film studio she worked for at the time was sponsoring one of the holes on the golf course. They chatted about the adult film industry and her directing abilities when Trump’s group passed through. The celebrity real estate developer remarked that she must be “the smart one” if she’s making films, Daniels recalled.
Later, in an area known as the “gift room,” where celebrity golfers collected gift bags and swag, Trump remembered her as “the smart one” and asked her if she wanted to go to dinner, Daniels said.
Daniels testified she accepted Trump’s invite because she wanted to get out of a planned dinner with her adult film company colleagues. She said her then-publicist suggested in a phone call that Trump’s invitation was a good excuse to duck the work dinner and would “make a great story” and perhaps help her career.
