NEW YORK _ President Donald Trump told porn star Stormy Daniels she reminded him of his daughter while the pair carried on a not-so-steamy affair more than a decade ago, Daniels told In Touch Weekly in 2011.
She added that "The Apprentice" star was nothing special in the sack, telling the magazine the sex was "textbook generic."
"It was nothing crazy. It was one position, what you would expect from someone his age to do," Daniels said.
The X-rated film star, whose real name in Stephanie Clifford, took a polygraph test at the time of the interview and said the pair had "really good banter."
"He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful, smart, just like his daughter," she said.
Trump, 71, was likely talking about his daughter Ivanka, who was 24 at the time.
Around the time of the alleged affair, Trump made another creepy confession during an appearance on "The View."
Trump complemented his eldest daughter's looks and said that if she weren't his child, "perhaps I'd be dating her."
Trump's fling with Daniels lasted for months, and the two met on several occasions, including rendezvous at his private bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles and at his office in Trump Tower.
Trump's relationship with the "Operation: Desert Stormy" star first became public when The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the president's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, had paid Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about their affair.
Daniels told In Touch that the she met the future leader of the free world in 2006, shortly after his wife Melania gave birth to their son, Barron Trump.
He invited her to his hotel room for dinner after the pair met at the American Century celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev.
After Daniels went to the bathroom after their meal, she returned to see Trump lying in bed beckoning her toward him.
"And I was like, 'Ugh, here we go,'" she said. "And we started kissing."
"It was textbook generic," she said. "I actually don't even know why I did it, but I do remember while we were having sex, I was like, 'Please, don't try to pay me.'"
Daniels said Trump initially offered her a spot on his reality show.
The pair "hung out for a little while and he just kept saying, 'I'm gonna call you, I'm gonna call you. I have to see you again. You're amazing. We have to get you on 'The Apprentice,'" she said.
He asked her to sign a DVD copy of her film "3 Wishes" and called her roughly every 10 days.
"Whether you're a fan of his or not, which I never really was, you gotta admit he's pretty fascinating," Daniels said.
The two stayed in touch for several months, and Trump always called her "honeybunch."
"Any time I needed to get ahold of him, he always took my call or called me back within 10 minutes," Daniels added.
Cohen tried to brush off the unearthed interview, telling the New York Daily News that "all they did is recirculate an old and debunked story that Ms. Clifford denied in 2011, 2016 and again in 2018."
"This is not breaking news ... it's old news that wasn't true then and not true now," Cohen added.
The longtime Trump lawyer claims the In Touch story was a rehashing of 2011 gossip piece published by Life & Style, which is owned by the same company.
But that report did not contain the interview with Clifford and states that "neither Donald nor Stormy has commented."
A representative for In Touch said that "reporters who worked on the story originally brought In ouch's 2011 interview with Stormy Daniels to our attention including the transcript, polygraph tests and other documentation" following reports that Daniels was paid off and signed a nondisclosure agreement.
"Donald Trump is clearly a more relevant public figure now than he was in 2011," the spokeswoman said.
