A storm is brewing over Donald Trump’s White House – in the form of yet another tell-all book.

Stormy Daniels, an adult actor whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is revealing a slew of new details about her alleged affair with the president in her forthcoming memoir, Full Disclosure.

Excerpts of the book found their way online after The Guardian obtained a copy ahead of its release next month, revealing explosive new sexual and political accusations against Mr Trump. Ms Daniels, who previously claimed to have had the affair in 2006, just months after the birth of his youngest son, doesn’t seem to hold back any of her supposed recollections about her relationship with the president.

Below are five of the most explosive and bizarre allegations thus far from Full Disclosure.

1. Donald Trump never wanted to be president

Ms Daniels suggests throughout Full Disclosure that Mr Trump never seemed whole-heartedly interested in the politics of the presidency.

When he began securing victories in the 2016 Republican primaries, she writes that her friends and acquaintances began calling her, remembering her claims that she had slept with Mr Trump in 2006.

She reassured folks that he wouldn’t become president — in part, because she didn’t believe he truly wanted to serve in the Oval Office.

“It will never happen, I would say,” Ms Daniels writes. “He doesn’t even want to be president.”

2. The president has “an unusual penis” according to Ms Daniels

Of course, Ms Daniels provides full disclosure about everything from her childhood to Mr Trump’s genitals in her new book, describing the president as having “an unusual penis”.

According to the adult actress, the president has a “smaller than average” penis, writing that it is “not freakishly small,” however.

Stormy Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti says there are more Trump tapes

“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Ms Daniels writes of Mr Trump. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool.”

She then describes the affair she engaged in with Mr Trump, writing, “It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”

3. Hillary Clinton called the future president in 2007

One particularly bizarre claim Ms Daniels writes about allegedly happened in 2007, after she had a sexual affair with Mr Trump.

The two were watching Shark Week in a hotel room – an allegation she previously made – when she writes of a phone call Mr Trump received from Hillary Clinton, which she has not yet publicly spoken about.

At the time, Ms Clinton was running against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, and was allegedly calling Mr Trump to discuss the campaign.

“Then, to make it crazier, Hillary Clinton called,” Ms Daniels writes. “He had a whole conversation about the race, repeatedly mentioning ‘our plan’”.

However, Ms Daniels notes that Mr Trump didn’t seem particularly interested in the details of the presidential race – at least, not as much as Shark Week.

“Even while he was on the phone with Hillary, his attention kept going back to the sharks,” she adds.

4. Trump called the adult star over the year after their alleged affair

Ms Daniels had previously told reporters she only slept with the president once, and then maintained a somewhat arms-length relationship with Mr Trump thereafter.

Her new book reveals that Mr Trump would repeatedly call her throughout the year after their one-night affair, which occurred just four months after the birth of his youngest child, Barron Trump.

Mr Trump has repeatedly denied these allegations, though he has also said he would not enforce Ms Daniels’ non-disclosure agreement restricting her freedom to discuss the allegations.

In Full Disclosure, Ms Daniels writes that she mainly decided to continue answering the future president’s calls in the hopes that he would cast her in his hit reality TV show, The Apprentice.

5. Donald Trump apparently wanted to rig his reality show in Stormy Daniels’ favour

Not only did the president promise to eventually cast Ms Daniels in a season of his reality TV series, The Apprentice, according to the porn star’s new book, but he was even planning on helping her win.

In calls Mr Trump placed to Ms Daniels after their affair, he allegedly discussed rigging the show, quoting him as saying “We’ll figure out a way to get you the challenges before,” and “We can devise your technique.”

“He was going to have me cheat and it was 100 per cent his idea,” she continues.
