Stormy Daniels’ Mother Hopes Scandal Doesn’t Hurt Trump: I Hope ‘He Runs Four More Times’

 

Amid the $130,000 of “hush money” and the alleged 2006 scandal with Donald Trump, the estranged mother of pornstar Stormy Daniels said she hopes her child’s supposed affair with the president doesn’t hurt his future re-election hopes.

In a profile with The Dallas Morning News, 64-year-old Shiela Gregory told the outlet the following:

“If Mr. Trump runs four more times, I would vote for him every time. I like him. I like the way he handles things. It’s time this country is put back where it belongs — taking care of the people here instead of the people who don’t belong here.”

The mother of Daniels, whose name offstage is Stephanie Clifford, also said she hopes the alleged sexual encounter from 12 years ago does not negatively impact the president’s reputation.

Additionally, Gregory explained that while she does not approve of Daniels’ current and past occupations as an adult actress and performer, she does understand the need to make money and even admitted she might pursue such a career had she known it paid so well.

While the two have not spoken in more than a decade, Gregory expressed hope that the two will talk before she dies.

“I loved her dearly,” said Gregory — just after telling the Morning News that she believes she will die soon. “I still love her dearly.”

The Morning News also spoke with Daniels’ estranged father Bill Gregory, who did not have a close connection with her growing up and merely paid child support, as he told reporters he was concerned for his daughter’s safety.

“Obviously, a father doesn’t want his daughter to become a porn star,” said Bill Gregory. “But she’s an adult — she can do what she wants to do.”

“You start rattling the cage of powerful people, and you don’t know what might happen,” he continued.
