Former President Trump said Friday he plans to appeal after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, who had alleged he sexually assaulted her decades ago.
“Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.”
“They have taken away all First Amendment Rights,” he added. “THIS IS NOT AMERICA!”
Friday’s ruling by a jury in New York marked the second time Carroll has won damages from Trump at trial, with the new total adding to a $5 million verdict last year finding Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her over a separate comment.
They’re taking away the first amendment rights of a man who, checking notes, wanted to make defamation cases easier to prove against those expressing their opinions…

Everything he says ages so so poorly. He’s like the Adam of hypocrisy, all hypocrisy originated from Trump.
Why can’t I harass my rape victims? THIS IS NOT AMERICA!
That’s RIGHT! BIDEN had E. Jean Carroll LUST after Trump JUST so she could sue him DECADES later! I need to DONATE to Trump QUICK to FIGHT this Biden Tatorship!
He just sees it as “ridiculous” as he never understood anyone who said “no” or “don’t do this” to him.
That alleged is unnecessary, this has been settled, Trump did sexualy assault E. Jean Carroll.
