The former president fired off a series of potentially defamatory statements as he arrived in court
As he arrived at a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan, Donald Trump’s Truth Social account released an avalanche of posts attacking E Jean Carroll, who is suing the former president for defamation.
A jury in New York City will determine what damages he owes Ms Carroll, whom Mr Trump defamed by repeatedly calling her a liar and denying that he sexually assaulted her.
It’s the second trial stemming from defamation claims brought by Ms Caroll, and a jury already found him civilly responsible for sexually abusing her in the 1990s. He continues to claim that he never met her and has repeatedly mocked and ridiculed Ms Carroll in the wake of that verdict.
And a huge chunk of the country somehow goes, “Yep, just what I’m looking for in November.”
A huge chunk of the country just down plays everything.
“OH, if it’s really so bad why haven’t I heard about it.” I just told you mf’r.
“Trump is the victim in all this.” Get fucked. In no way has that silver spoon orange cum rag ever been a victim in his life. We are talking about the person that is suppose to represent and lead umpteen million Americans and you’re treating him with kid gloves.
“Innocent until proven guilty.” He was proven guilty.
“It’s only civil court, it’s not criminal.” Hold still while I shove this goalpost up your ass.
A survey done at the Iowa caucus asked “if Trump is convicted, would you still vote for him?”. Only about a quarter of Republicans asked said no…
1/4 of republicans splitting the vote pretty much means a free win for dems though. Don’t let the irony of this election compared to the 2016 Bernie situation slide past you lol
They can deny it all they want but Trump lead an insurrection on the capitol and people still support him. Should we really be surprised though? There is a reason dictators come to power. If Trump wins you really have to start asking was our government really equipped to deal with the information age?
My answer is no and even as a kid I thought it was stupid we were so reliant on a piece of paper drafted 200+ years ago. Before automobiles. Before radio. Before the internet. When slave labor was still a thing.
Like it or not, America, it is your hubris that got us into this situation and your hubris that will doom the way of life so many have become accustomed to, even with all of its shortcomings.
So during a trial to decide damage amounts for previously made defamatory statements, you launch into a bunch of new defamatory statements?
Bold move cotton, we’ll see how it plays out.
She can do this all decade long you stupid orange rapist. 5 Million. 20 Million. 100 Million. 300 Million. Keep it coming you idiot fuck.
If she’s the one that breaks him we will finally have proof of the inmate goodness of the universe
He is banking on the publicity that making the additional defamatory statements will give him with his voting base. He is hoping that his re-election will at the very least stall all the proceedings against him, and he may even be able to quash some of them after re-election.
The more forceful he is at his defense, the more his supporters dig in. He doesn’t care about defying the court, because he hopes to make the court irrelevant.

Unfortunately the more I read from the right the more disturbing it is. I find they want blood and punishment for all the things they find wrong and they don’t want to have to deal with anything complicated again.
The most convenient lies will do and there is no use for courts as they are not extreme enough. Faces must be eaten. Sadly it will be some of theirs too.
Imagine if some country tries to stare us down while this guy is president.
We’ll be a radioactive hole.
It’s way more likely that we get manipulated and taken advantage of. Other countries realize Trump is easily manipulated because he’s a narcissist, and it’d be much simpler to stroke his ego while he opens our wallets .
If their leader is smart enough to manipulate us. I don’t know that Kim is.
He sure is. Remember he invited Trump across the border and told him he was the first president to come over. Trump bragged about that afterwords and talked about opening hotels on the NK waterfront.
Completely random, and nothing to do with anything:
Mice, which stands for “money”, “ideology”, “coercion/compromise” and “ego”.
“You owe damages of $3M, Mr. Trump.”
“Well, she’s a nasty person.”
“You now owe $3.2M.”
“And a liar.”
“$3.5M.”
“She’s not even…”
“$4M.”
“This is horse…”
“$4.2M.”
“But I…”
“$4.8M.”
“You’re a nasty person, too.”
“$5M, Mr. Trump, plus you’re now in contempt of court. I can do this all day.”
I wonder how many people get what you’re riffing off here.
“Mess with the bull, you get the horns.”
He’s campaigning. A large part of the country love this sort of behaviour and if it costs him a few mill well then donations will take care of that.
