https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/opinion/2018/03/23/when-trump-looks-in-the-mirror-he-sees-stormy-daniels.htmlStormy Daniels has cracked the code: the best way to beat Donald Trump is to be Donald Trump.
Its like watching a superhero steal the powers of an archnemesis and use them against him. Daniels might as well be flying high above Washington, a red cape fluttering in the wind as she circles the White House.
Faster than a wire transfer of hush money. More powerful than an NDA. Able to leap tall photo-ops in a single bound: its a bird its a plane its Super Porn Star!
In what has become her own never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way, Daniels is now outsmarting Trump by aping Trump. She has weaponized his Lex Luthor media tricks. She has stolen the methods and soul of a publicity hound.

On Thursday evening, Michael Avenatti, her lawyer, tweeted a mysterious photo of an unlabeled DVD with this ominous caption: If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is this worth?????
If I understand his insinuation and I hope youre not eating it seems Daniels may possess footage that includes an anatomical and/or carnal side of the president that surely cant be unseen: Oh sweet mother of God, now theyre in the missionary position and hes watching Shark Week!
And you thought the only possible sex tape was hidden in a Moscow vault.
Avenatti ended his cryptic post with three hashtags, including one that seemed like a straight-up challenge: #pleasedenyit. But to deny it, Trump would need to acknowledge it. And so far, he is mute. The man who loves to taunt and counterpunch is sitting on his hands as Stormy takes the media fight to him.
You get the sense hed rather go bowling with Robert Mueller than engage her.

However this plays out, Trump has already learned a painful lesson: there are some people in this world who, when pushed, can beat him at his own media game.
