Stormy Daniels book summary: Adult film star gives Full Disclosure on alleged Trump affair

'At least it's the truth': Stormy Daniels on her new 'tell all' book

Stormy Daniels has promised to tell the full story of her alleged affair with Donald Trump. And now that story — sometimes shocking, sometimes tragic — is finally here.

Titled Full Disclosure, the book promises to be an account of how Stormy Daniels came to be one of the central figures in the story of Donald Trump's presidency, and perhaps even its end — apparently to her surprise, as much as to anyone else's.

"I know that the deck has always been stacked against me, and there is absolutely no reason for me to have made it to where I am, right here talking to you," she writes. "Except that maybe the universe loves an underdog as much as I do. I own my story and the choices I made. They may not be the ones you would have made, but I stand by them."

Just as with the other bombshell books of the Trump presidency, such as Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury, we'll be going through that story and those choices, live.

Going to skip through again, as we get back into the more scurrilous, life-of-Stormy stuff. Again, this is all probably very interesting if you're a fan of Stormy Daniels, or daily life in Hollywood, or the band Hollywood Undead. If it is, you should think about buying the book. (Here it is on Amazon.)

She tells us at length about becoming friends (and, presumably, later, more) with the drummer from Hollywood Undead. None of it particularly weighty.

This is cut in with Stormy being drafted for a job in politics. This is in 2010 — I'll tell you if it gets interesting.

Rattling through here: more stories of going out with Glen from Hollywood Undead, and trying and failing to run for Senate. At one point, Stormy says she made Glen make porn films with her, because he wanted to have a child with her; that way, if they split up, they'd both have appeared in porn films and he couldn't get custody. So he made porn films, including with other women.

"And so, I got pregnant with a baby girl. All because my husband had sex with other women while I watched and worried about their makeup and angles so they'd look their best."

Stormy describes giving birth. And chapter six is over!

Trump is back into the story. She's called and told there's a story about her and Trump on a gossip site, and told it's going away. For now, that seems to be it.

And she's called again for a story for In Touch magazine. She tells the story; they don't believe it. She has a lie detector test; it claims to have shown she's telling the truth.

Here comes the second part of the important allegations that Stormy has made against Trump: that someone threatened her to make the story of their night together go away. She went to a fitness class with her daughter and while in the car park someone approached her; she claims he said that it would be a "shame if something happened to her [daughter's] mom", and that she should "leave Trump alone".

Trump is starting to grow in popularity in the primaries. And with it, claims Stormy, people started coming out of the woodwork to suggest she should sell her story.

There's an air of malevolence over all of this. Friends told to keep quiet; others suggesting to her that if she died in an accident nobody would blame her.
