Twitter Freaks Out Over Stunning Trump WSJ Report: ‘Googles Stormy Daniels…’

Social media freaked out in response to news that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen set up payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels a month before the 2016 election. The alleged affair with Trump reportedly took place in 2006, after Trump married his third wife Melania Trump.

Here are the best Twitter reactions to Trump’s latest scandal:
