Twitter Blows Up Over Sketch of Man Who Allegedly Threatened Stormy: ‘Tom Brady?’
Stormy Daniels took to The View Tuesday to reiterate her claim that she had an affair with President Donald Trump, and to show – for the very first time – the sketch done by veteran forensic artist Lois Gibson of the man who allegedly threatened Daniels over a story that ran in In Touch.
Twitter exploded with reactions to the revelation. The prevailing thought was that the picture looked a heck of a lot like New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady who is, incidentally, a friend of Trump’s:
Wow Tom Brady really was on the Trump train early… https://t.co/8Prvgy6O1N

Others saw more of a resemblance to The Florida Project actor Willem Dafoe:
Man, Willem Dafoe’s career has really taken a nosedive https://t.co/2VBBgAVbPq

A few other fairly astute guesses were also put into play:
Looks kind of like Michael C. Hall from ‘Dexter.’ Just me? https://t.co/eKYludBTbQ

But we have to give the Unofficial Mediaite Internet Winner Award on this one to The Daily Beast‘s Justin Miller, who rightly observed that the sketch bore a striking resemblance to the Matt Damon puppet from Team America: World Police:
