WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Chose not to immediately violate the verdict by defaming her again, but start the betting pool!
Love to see it. He'll be throwing quarter pounders at the walls of his private jet right now with his tiny little hands.
And his polling numbers continue to rise every time he enters a courtroom.
🙄🙄
Under new ownership
Because all the (Maga) world loves a rapist ,innit?
Don't think Habba was trying to win any hearts and minds of the jury when she said in court (in reference to the death threats against Carroll). "That's me on a good day. And President Trump." Jaysus.
Anyway, I don't think Trump cares. It seems to be the case that you only have to pay damages like these if they're small amounts and you haven't got the resources to appeal the case or otherwise delay things. He might even say, 'fk it' and keep defaming her if he can be sure of avoiding a criminal penalty for contempt of court.
When do his supporters get the message that accountability before the law is just for little people?
So what are the chances that he will actually pay any of this 87 million dollars ?
I don't think his supporters care about that double standard anymore. Certainly not in the instance that their god-king Trump is getting the benefit of it.
Depends if he wants to go humiliate his way through a 3rd court battle I guess.
Half of the American electorate yes.
According to one of the most litigious men alive, the legal system is out of control.
Two things going on there. One is that Trump cannot handle losing something where he has a strong desire to win. Everyone likes to win, but some people can lose better than others, and Trump has got to be one of the worst losers ever to enter public life. It's almost a reflex response. He loses, so it must be crooked.
But he also has to keep that pretence up for his base. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't take a back step.
To be a loser is the cardinal sin of Trump's world, but even worse is to be seen as a weak loser. If he's going to lose, he wants to lose as strongly as possible. And that means (in his mind) calling the loss crooked and bullshIt etc. Not very nuanced or varied, but nothing about Trump really is.
He'll never stop will he? He can't accept that there are consequences to his actions. You run out of words to describe just how awful a human being he is but right now, he's just coming off as a spoiled manchild whose Mammy never told him no. He's pathetic and his cultists/ apologists are even worse. They know what he is and support him anyway.
How many times can he appeal before he definitely has to stump up?
Again, I'd love someone to explain to me how that GOP secretary in Florida is being forced out due to sexual allegations, yet the Golden Shower King is seemingly completely immune from any sort of criticism or sanctions even though he's been held liable for sexual abuse by a court of law. And this is meant to be the party of law and order. It's gone beyond belief or explanation now. News outlets need to start challenging GOP members about this and not stop until the question is answered.
Doesn't he have to put the full amount in escrow as part of lodging an appeal?
Considering the Trump org is already taken away from him it will be interesting to see if he is even able to make an appeal at all.
That will be late tonight during a furious bout of sundowning..
He's was losing Independents by a significant margin already, this isn't going to improve that.
Haley beat him almost 2:1 among Independents in NH .
The MAGA faithful aren't anywhere close to enough to win an actual Election.
He's in deep deep trouble and he knows it.
Email notification:
"Donald Trump wants to personally deputise YOU to Make America Great Again! For just one hundred dollars, you will receive this replica sheriff badge with" AWAKE! Not WOKE!" slogan. Use it to uphold the LAW!"
..
Actually.. he's already done it, on Telegram.
Yet in a sign that he apparently has not learned his lesson from the massive monetary judgment against him for defamation, he mocked Carroll in a separate statement on Telegram.
“We asked for one Trial, on the E. Jean Carroll False Accusation Case, but the Judge wouldn’t give it to us, he made us have two Trials on the same Hoax, and then, on the second Trial, they were allowed to use whatever information they wanted from the first, but we weren’t allowed to use anything!” he complained.
Trump is a 77 year old man that's had everything his own way for his entire life. The fact that he's now finally facing accountability must be really eating him up. Hopefully Carroll will just keep suing him.
I spy with my little eye,
I see an attorney not getting paid.
Hilarious if true....
I read online..
Trump now has:
91 felony counts
11 aides convicted
4 indictments
2 impeachments
$83.3 million defamation verdict
$25 million fraud judgment
$5 million sexual assault verdict
$1.6 million tax fraud conviction
A university shut down
A charity shut down
And is on trial for fraud.
and current favourite to win 2024 US Presidential election
If $83,000,000 isn't enough to teach him to keep his mouth closed, how much is this worth?
