Stormy

As someone who is totally uncomfortable with what Stormy does for a living and political sex scandals from Clinton to Trump, I was amazed how impressed I was with her resilience as a woman and a mother on every level. She navigated a very difficult childhood and jumped on opportunities that came her way to survive. The unsavory porn business is one thing but that is Trumps world. Trump was friends with Epstein and seducing a 27-year-old Stormy with sex in exchange for furthering her career and reneging is despicable. Her story and strength are beyond just entertaining because it's a true story. Respect and thanks to her and the people who did such a great job on this documentary.

If one is looking for a salacious story of a low functioning woman, that is not her. It is a documentary about her life, and when she met Donald, she was already writing and producing, and hoped to make a horror film. Trump dangled the chance to be on Celebrity Apprentice, saying he had the veto-proof right to pick one person to be on the program. It is less about what happened with him than it is how it upended her life. Taken advantage of by male lawyers, at first just insulted, then threatened and stalked, making it almost impossible for her 7 y/o daughter to have a life. When she could not get jobs in the US, she set up a tour in Canada, only to find out that the FBI crime computer had an extensive list of arrests, which never happened. But she lost entry into Canada because of that. More lawsuits, and then the threats became more as death threats of a serious nature. In the end she says she doesn't want Trump to go to prison, but she is willing to go to prison rather than pay the judgment Trump got against her for legal fees. During the height of the Me-too movement, she got a lot of support from woman, but it also took a huge toll on her.

The Stormy Daniels documentary provided a compelling insight into the intersection of power, politics, and personal choices. While it may have leaned towards a reality show format and exhibited bias, it effectively shed light on important societal issues. Therefore, I would rate it 5 stars for its thought-provoking content and its ability to expose the underbelly of power dynamics in the United States.

Stormy Daniels has ultimately made very bad choices throughout her life, which led her to engaging in a parasitic relationship with Donald Trump, where she thought she could expand her career beyond porn and topless dancing. Sadly, this did not transpire, but she ultimately kept pushing for her 15 minutes of fame, which is sadly turned into a 15 year saga she seems to be very comfortable with sleeping with the documentarian, putting her child's life at risk, and losing important relationships for money. I don't want to blame her for these decisions, because she did have a very rough upbringing, so I do hope that she does well in the future. If you were looking for something unbiased, don't bother.

It's mind numbing how certain individuals perceive any factual revelations exposing Trump's extensive history of fraudulent enterprises, deceitful dealings, ongoing lies and fabrications, sexual misconduct, and his penchant for portraying himself as a victim, merely as a ploy by the media to undermine a President.

Individuals who earnestly embrace the notion that he is a victim and adamantly disregard any critical media coverage as falsehoods targeting him demonstrate a significant detachment from reality. Their unwavering allegiance suggests a deep-seated adherence to a cult-like mentality.

This mindset is characterized by an unquestioning loyalty to a leader figure, often at the expense of rational analysis and critical thinking. It's as though they've become so entrenched in a narrative crafted by their chosen leader that they are unable or unwilling to objectively assess the information presented to them. This behavior not only shields the individual from uncomfortable truths but also perpetuates a dangerous cycle of misinformation and blind faith.

This documentary is spot on. If Stormy Daniel's actually just wanted to do a hit job on trump she could have done a whole lot worse than what she expressed in this documentary.

Seeing the events of the time through Stormy Daniels' eyes is truly fascinating and not a little scary. The fear she experienced as a result of the hateful barrage of abuse is palpable. On top of this the dirty tricks from the powerful people she upset are really eye opening.

The film does not editorialize, instead letting the events speak for themselves. Stormy is not portrayed as anything but herself, certainly not as a hero, but as her personal life is slowly torn apart it's hard not to feel sorry for her despite her mistakes. What's clear is that she was abused, and then punished for it, and her family was torn apart by the flak. There are no winners here.
