This is a particularly bad moment for the cross:
Necheles (Trump's attorney): “You have a lot of experience in making phony stories about sex appear to be real, right?”
Daniels: "“That's not how I would put it. The sex in the films, it's very much real. Just like what happened to me in that room.”
By asking such an open-ended question based on a clearly incorrect premise (sex in pornography is real), Necheles allowed Daniels to not only correct her, but also a free chance to bolster her version of the encounter.

You think Necheles is doing such a poor job because of the way Trump is pushing her? Like instead, defending a dude who is a Mafia boss and she has no political affiliation with said boss, it seems to me she would not be as constrained in her defense.
@sonhouse saidIt's impossible to say. Much of her cross has been pretty good esp. when she has gotten the Trump Organization accountants to say they never received instructions from Trump to write in the ledgers the payments were "legal expenses". But insisting in her opening statement that Daniels' version of the sexual encounter was completely untrue and then her extended, futile cross of Daniel's is such obviously bad criminal defense lawyering makes one wonder whether Trump gave her instructions with politics more than criminal defense in mind.

Charisma, maybe. But we need to replace Biden, and Trump is all we got. Why replace him? Peace through strength comes to mind, ala Reagan. Never has a been a man with this much strength in the WH
You confuse bluster with strength. Trump is a coward. He didn't have the balls to tell the American public the truth about COVID in Feb. 2020 because he feared it would sap his 'ratings.' "It will be gone by Easter," he said, knowing it was a lie, a lie which ultimately cost meany thousands of Americans their lives unnecessarily. An abject coward he is.
