Amid news that a federal judge dismissed Stormy Daniels' defamation case against President Trump, he lashed out at the adult-film star and her attorney on Twitter, calling them "Horseface" and a "third rate lawyer." He also vowed to "go after" the two in the tweet, which was sent Tuesday morning.
“Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.” @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!

Daniels first sued Trump after he suggested in a tweet that a claim of hers — in which a man threatened her to not come forward about her alleged 2006 affair with Trump — was a lie. The president has also denied the affair, calling Daniels "a total con job" back in April.
Michael Avenatti, Daniels' lawyer, quickly responded to Trump's tweet. He called him a "disgusting misogynist and an embarrassment to the United States."
You are a disgusting misogynist and an embarrassment to the United States. Bring everything you have, because we are going to demonstrate to the world what a complete shyster and liar you are. How many other women did you cheat on your wife with while you had a baby at home? https://t.co/npOKOEFju6

.@realDonaldTrump - tens of millions of Americans are tired of your fraud, lies, and corruption. They are equally tired of your attacks on women, especially the ones who you have had sex with while cheating on your wives. We (and the UN) are laughing AT YOU, not with you. #Basta

"Bring everything you have," Avenatti said. "because we are going to demonstrate to the world what a complete shyster and liar you are."
Daniels also replied. "Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president," she wrote.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. In addition to his...umm...shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny. https://t.co/6DpDD5ELtj

"Game on Tiny," Daniels added, seemingly referring to the size of Trump's penis, which she compared to "the mushroom character in 'Mario Kart'" in her memoir, Full Disclosure.
Daniels' defamation claim was dismissed by US District Court Judge S. James Otero on Monday. Back in September, Otero said that Trump's tweet mocking Daniels' credibility, which sparked the case, "is the type of political discourse and commentary that takes place in elections all the time."
Avenatti told Otero that this "was not political by any stretch of the imagination." However, Otero eventually ruled that Trump's tweet was free speech protected by the First Amendment.
Trump's insults came with a series of tweets that also insulted Senator Elizabeth Warren.
