Stormy Daniels Awarded In Salem For Enduring Actual 'Witch Hunt'

Stormy Daniels, the adult film performer whose alleged affair with Donald Trump spawned the historic hush money trial that he decried as a “witch hunt,” received a witchy award Thursday on Halloween for surviving his attempts to spin the narrative.
The ceremony was held in Salem, Massachusetts, the site of the infamous Salem Witch Trials during the late 1600s, which saw hundreds accused — and around 20 executed — as supposed “witches.”

Trump was convicted earlier this year on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide his $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels. He might well retake the White House next week. Daniels, meanwhile, says she’s lived “on the run” ever since her home address was displayed in court. (Trump’s attorney has said this was an accident.)
The adult film actor launched a GoFundMe in June to raise money for a new house, and to help her escape the rape and death threats from Trump’s supporters.
“The best part is that Trump always says it’s a witch hunt against him,” she told the Globe. “That’s funny. People like to say Donald Trump is evil, but you need to be a genius to be evil, and he’s not that smart.”
