Stormy Daniels turned the tables on Trump. And he had to watch it happen.

This week the presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been sitting in a courtroom at 100 Center St. in New York, where adult film actor Stormy Daniels is testifying in Donald Trump’s criminal trial, including recounting the sexual encounter she had with him in a hotel room at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Daniels’ testimony, which continues Thursday, has been the kind of history-making, norms-crushing, mind-bending scene Americans have grown inured to. On Tuesday, sitting about 10 feet away from Trump, Daniels testified: “There was an imbalance of power, for sure. but I was not threatened verbally or physically.” That imbalance was, at least for a few hours, tipped against Trump.
