Porn star: During our affair, Trump said I reminded him of Ivanka

Porn star Stormy Daniels admitted in a magazine interview that she had sex with Donald Trump right after his wife, Melania, gave birth in 2006 — although she said he didn’t give the kind of XXX-rated performance she’s used to, according to a report Wednesday.

“[The sex] was textbook generic,” Daniels — whose real name is Stephanie Clifford — told In Touch Weekly in 2011. “[It] was nothing crazy. It was one position. What you would expect someone his age to do.’’

The magazine didn’t publish the interview at the time — after Trump’s team threatened legal action, a source told The Post. But it surfaced Wednesday ahead of the magazine’s upcoming Jan. 29 edition.

The report comes a week after The Wall Street Journal said Daniels was paid $130,000 in hush money in October 2016, just weeks before the presidential election, to keep quiet about the tryst. Both she and Trump quickly denied the Journal’s story, including that they had an affair.





But the buxom blonde had already spilled the dirty details years ago, according to In Touch, which said it confirmed her account at the time with her friends and had her sit for a polygraph test, which it says she passed.

She and the then-60-year-old real-estate mogul met a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada in July 2006 — after Trump had married Melania and when their son, Barron, was 3 months old, she told the mag. A photo on her Myspace page at the time showed them together at the event grinning, Trump in a yellow polo shirt and Daniels in a skimpy tank top.

She says she agreed to go back to his hotel room, where she found him wearing pajama pants — and she proceeded to tease him about his hair while he evaded her questions about Melania. “He goes, ‘Oh, don’t worry about her,’ ” she told the mag.





Eventually, Trump made his move, she said.

“He was sitting on the bed, and he was like, ‘Come here.’ And I was like, ‘Ugh, here we go,’ and we started kissing,” she said.

“I actually don’t even remember why I did it, but I do remember while we were having sex, I was like, ‘Please don’t try to pay me.’ And then I remember thinking, ‘But I bet if he did, it would be a lot,’’ she told the mag, adding that the sex was unprotected. Afterward, he asked her to sign a copy of her latest porno comedy, “3 Wishes,” Daniels said.

Trump then became “smitten” and started calling her every 10 days, promising to get her on “The Apprentice” and referring to her as “honeybunch,” she said.





She also recalls Trump comparing her to his daughter. “He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart just like his daughter,’’ Daniels said, presumably referring to Ivanka, since Tiffany was only about 13 in 2006.

Despite Trump’s unremarkable performance between the sheets, the two continued to meet up, including in his office at Trump Tower, his vodka release party in Hollywood in 2007 and then at the Miss USA pageant later that year, Daniels said, according to the magazine.

“Whether you’re a fan of his or not, which I never really was, you gotta admit he’s pretty fascinating,” she said of their ongoing relationship. “We had really good banter.”





In July 2007, Trump invited her to his suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he admitted he couldn’t get her on his TV reality show.

“He just kept brushing my hair off my shoulder and kissing my neck. And he was like, ‘So, can you stay?’ and I was like, ‘No, I gotta go.’ I left, and he kept calling me less and less over the coming months,” she told In Touch, adding that he finally stopped phoning her in 2010.

The story about Trump and Daniels’ sex romp first appeared in media circles in 2006, shorty after the golf-course encounter, according to a longtime media-industry insider.

“Everybody knew about it,” the insider said.

In Touch’s publisher refused to explicitly explain why the gossip mag spiked its Stormy scoop in 2011 — and never revived it in the intervening years — saying only that Trump is a more relevant figure today.

“When The Wall Street Journal published its account of Stormy Daniels receiving a payoff from Donald Trump for her silence, In Touch reporters who worked on the story originally brought In Touch’s 2011 interview with Stormy Daniels to our attention, including the transcript, polygraph tests and other documentation,” Bauer Media publicist Kelsi Ignomirello said in a statement. “Donald Trump is clearly a more relevant public figure now than he was in 2011.”

But a source says the publisher held the interview after Trump’s team threatened legal action. Bauer declined to comment on that claim. The source added that Daniels was offered only a few thousand dollars for the interview because interest in Trump was ebbing at the time.

Ahead of the 2016 presidential election, Daniels reportedly began shopping her story around again to numerous other outlets, including Slate, “Good Morning America,” the Daily Beast and Fox News — as well as to Trump himself.

“Daniels said she was talking to me and sharing these details because Trump was stalling on finalizing the confidentiality agreement and paying her,” Slate editor in chief Jacob Weisberg wrote Monday. “Given her experience with Trump, she suspected he would stall her until after the election and then refuse to sign or pay up.”

She also sent Weisberg photos of an unsigned addendum from the proposed settlement agreeing that the parties would be referred to by pseudonyms in the final document — she would be “Peggy Peterson.”

Weisberg says his discussions hit a wall because he wouldn’t pay Daniels for her story.

Her comments were on the record and he corroborated them with three friends, he says — but she stopped talking to him about a week before the election and a friend of hers said she’d “taken the money from Trump after all,” so Weisberg assumed Daniels would just “disavow” the story if Slate did run it.

The Daily Beast, too, says it confirmed the story with three people — including another porn star, Alana Evans, who was Daniels’ neighbor and friend at the time.

Evans says the duo phoned her the night of the golf tournament and Trump tried to talk her into joining them — an offer she declined.

Later, Daniels claimed the future president had chased her “around his hotel room in his tighty-whities,” Evans told the Daily Beast.

They’re not the only porn stars linked to Trump — Jessica Drake claimed in October 2016 that Trump offered her $10,000 for sex at the same golf tournament where he hooked up with Daniels. And Playboy model Karen McDougal allegedly sold a story about having an affair with Trump to the National Enquirer’s parent company, which never ran it.

Trump has denied all of the allegations.

In Touch plans to run the full 5,500-word transcript of Daniels’ interview later this week, a source told the Daily Beast on Wednesday, promising details of “pillow talk” and “what he’s like down there.”
