Former President Donald Trump on Saturday stood by his 2019 statement that writer E. Jean Carroll made a “totally false accusation” against him, despite similar claims resulting in him losing a defamation case in January.

Campaigning at a rally in Rome, Georgia, Trump referenced the $91.6 million bond he posted on March 8, three days before his deadline to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her in statements he made as president after denying her accusation that he’d raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.

Carroll first came forward in 2019 with sexual assault claims against Trump before another civil trial in May 2023, where a New York jury found that the former president sexually abused Carroll but didn’t rape her.

    Is your position that sexual abuse cant occur to an adult, that when it occurs it can and should be laughed off (what other physical abuses should be treated the same) or a third position entirely?

        Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t you say that meekly taking any abuse, violence, assault, harassment etc without standing up to the perpetrators would be the weak thing to do? Today we ain’t taking shit from people who think they can exert power over us and the people who used to get away with it don’t seem to like that much.

        Trump literally put his fingers inside her in a dressing room according to the deposition. But sure. Let Trump put his fingers inside you bruv, I’m sure it won’t be traumatizing.

            How much would you charge for letting him do the same thing to your daughter?

                Ah hah! And there it is, ladies and gentlemen, the root of BaronOfHair’s bizarre stance: plain ol’ misogyny!

                Did you ever wonder if maybe it is because she has a horrible piece of shit for a father?

            Charging him to do it implies consent. This wasn’t consensual. The entire conversation has been about non consensual sexual contact.
