Michael Avenatti, the attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels and “Stuttering John” Melendez, has teased a possible 2020 presidential run in a new tweet: “We can’t relive 2016.”
“I love this country, our values and our people too much to sit by while they are destroyed,” added Avenatti.
IF (big) he seeks re-election, I will run, but only if I think that there is no other candidate in the race that has a REAL chance at beating him. We can't relive 2016. I love this country, our values and our people too much to sit by while they are destroyed. #FightClub #Basta

In another tweet, Aventatti said: “Be clear – only a street fighter has a chance at displacing the “King.” Otherwise, this country and its principles will be in pieces and non-recognizable.”
I always liked the Daily News! Be clear – only a street fighter has a chance at displacing the “King.” Otherwise, this country and its principles will be in pieces and non-recognizable. #FightClub #Basta pic.twitter.com/X3sSR81daZ

Avenatti has been a regular fixture on both CNN and MSNBC on behalf of his client, Stormy Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford. The porn star is suing the president over a non-disclosure agreement she signed before the 2016 presidential race to silence her from talking about an affair she says she had with Trump years earlier.
Trump has consistently denied any affair between him and Daniels and says the money — which his legal team now admits he paid her — was to spare his family the pain of a lawsuit.
