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.
To appeal, I think he has to pay a $65 Million bond, and this is certain to be reiterated. The jury did an excellent job at not being overly punishing. He’s screwed in so many ways. He better don’t ever mention her name again in his life.
It’s like she wished for a money printing machine from a monkey’s paw.
So, you’re saying she found a way to monitize his inability to shut the fuck up?
If only he actually had that 83 mil….
She can’t spend $83 M. She just needs to call J.G. Wentworth. Let them hound him for the debt.
She could buy a yacht.
Also, she could buy the Trump brand in the upcoming auction. Just to be fucking petty about. Sell some trump dildos.
He will, and he’ll get away with it, too. Wheeee
