I'm not sure why you continue to lie. Maybe you're jealous Stormy saw Trump's dick before you.
The 9th circuit states exactly why she lost and it says not a peep about about either being a liar. All it ruled was that Trump had the right to post what he did. His post said nothing about her lying about fucking him.
Are you the only mother fucker on planet earth who thinks Trump didn't fuck Stormy or the Playmate that was on 60 minutes with her?

After Daniels and her then-attorney Michael Avenatti released an artist’s sketch of the man who she claimed threatened her, a Twitter user posted a comparison between Daniels’ ex-husband and the alleged attacker.
Trump replied to that user’s post on Twitter and wrote, “A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!”
Daniels sued for defamation, saying Trump’s tweet painted her as fabricating both the crime and the existence of an assailant.
In 2018, U.S. District Judge S. James Otero dismissed the claims under the Texas Citizens Participation Act, finding Daniels failed to make a proper claim under the Texas law where she lives.
Daniels appealed to the Ninth Circuit, arguing the TCPA, Texas’s version of an anti-SLAPP statute, should never have been applied in federal court. She sought reversal of Otero’s ruling in order to proceed to discovery and a trial on the merits of her claim.
At a Feb. 4 hearing before the Ninth Circuit in Pasadena, California, Trump’s attorney Charles Harder said the president has a right to tweet any opinion or hyperbole and that Daniels failed to show the president acted with any malice.
The three-judge Ninth Circuit panel on Friday sided with Harder’s argument, affirming Otero’s ruling and finding Daniels’ complaint failed to plead an actionable false statement by Trump.
“Under Texas law, a statement that merely interprets disclosed facts is an opinion, and, as noted, statements of opinion cannot form the basis of a defamation claim,” the ruling stated. “Viewed through the eyes of an objectively reasonable reader, the tweet here reflects Mr. Trump’s opinion about the implications of the allegedly similar appearances of Ms. Clifford’s ex-husband and the man in the sketch.”
Harder did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The 8-page unsigned and unpublished opinion by U.S. Circuit Judges Kim Wardlaw and Jacqueline Nguyen and Chief U.S. Circuit Judge Sidney Thomas also said Trump’s tweet didn’t contain any facts that had not already been disclosed publicly.
