Stormy Daniels followed up her first bombshell day of testimony in former President Donald Trump s hush money trial with a second day on the stand Thursday.

The adult film star faced harsher questions today, as Trump lawyer Susan Necheles attempted to discredit Daniels earlier testimony in cross examination. She met the onslaught with polite and unyielding confidence.

Necheles cast Daniels as an unconventional anti-Trump cheerleader who was only in it for the money, an accusation Daniels repeatedly swatted down.

At one point Necheles highlighted a $40 Stormy, Saint of Indictments prayer candle she sold online, along with assorted other similarly themed items.

Trumps attorney then accused her of profiting off Trumps trial by shilling merchandise, prompting Daniels to fire back: Not unlike Mr. Trump.

The defense also clumsily reminded the jury of Daniels pornographic past, accusing her of selling herself as an exotic dancer as her anti-Trump stardom grew.

You have a lot of experience making phony stories about sex, Necheles said, implying Daniels encounter with Trump was fake.

Wow. Thats not how I would put it. The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room, Daniels replied.

She later quipped that if her story about sex with Trump was untrue, I would have written it to be a lot better.

Necheles wrapped up her cross examination with a statement-turned-question, saying that Daniels has changed her story many times without giving her a chance to respond.
