In perhaps the least surprising development in the whole Donald Trump/Stormy Daniels hush money payment situation, searches for Daniels on the website porhub have surged. Daniels is, after all, a porn actress, so maybe people just want to see if she’s good at her job.
TMZ is reporting that the salacious site said it had a 32,000% bump in searches yesterday while the former President was being arraigned in a Manhattan courthouse. Last Wednesday, searches for the actress were hanging around 34,500.
By the time Thursday rolled around and the charges came out searches jumped to 630,000. Here’s a handy chart from the company:
That’s not all people are searching for either. Terms like “jail” and “prison” have also seen a jump in searches. Hopefully the interest in Daniels will help her financially, as she was just ordered to pay Trump more than $120,000 in legal fees.
Daniels is at the center of a tax fraud case against the former president by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Bragg brought 34 counts against Trump, who was forced to appear in court like any other defendant (minus the fingerprinting, mugshot and scheduling), pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Daniels has been very active on social media and taken every opportunity she can to lampoon the billionaire. Yesterday she tweeted that “she’d much rather be ‘under [her] sexy man’ than ‘under arrest.'”
She’s not one to stray away from trolls either. Someone asked her “if your husband dreams of all the real hot, sexy women he could have had.”
“He doesn’t have to dream about it,” she said. “He’s done over 5k sex scenes with some of the sexiest women on earth.”
