Stormy Daniels, the key witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal case against former President Donald Trump, likened the president’s upcoming sentencing to how parents discipline their children.
“I don’t think Trump understands anything. Like anything. Like, it just, he doesn’t — he’s lost, complete and out of touch with reality,” she remarked in her first interview since the president’s conviction.

“Funny, it’s actually like when you have a child, and sometimes taking the electronics away works,” she explained. “But if your child is very artistic, they don’t care. They’ll just go color their coloring books. And then you have another child that, you know, they don’t want to go outside — you got to ground them or take away electronics or don’t let them have dessert.”
She continued, “You have to find the punishment that not just matches the crime but is fair and just and that impacts that particular person.”
Daniels paused, contemplating an appropriate “punishment” for Trump.
“I don’t know. … No golfing!” she exclaimed as her potential penalty for the former president.
Daniels testified in the six-week trial, sharing explicit details about her alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump, which he denies.
Trump was convicted last week on 34 counts of allegedly falsifying business records. The sentencing hearing is set for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he is expected to be named the GOP presidential nominee.
“The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!” Trump urged in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday, calling for the high court to intervene in his case.
Some legal experts speculate that Trump could face jail time ranging from “six months” to a year.
The former adult film star added in her interview that she thinks former first lady Melania Trump should leave her husband but not because of his alleged affair.
“I don’t know what their agreement may or may not be, but Melania needs to leave him, not because of what he did with me or other women but because he is a convicted felon,” Daniels said.
