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.
āAbsolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,ā Trump wrote on Truth Social. āOur Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.ā
āThey have taken away all First Amendment Rights,ā he added. āTHIS IS NOT AMERICA!ā
Fridayās 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. Heās screwed in so many ways. He better donāt ever mention her name again in his life.
Itās like she wished for a money printing machine from a monkeyās paw.
So, youāre saying she found a way to monitize his inability to shut the fuck up?
If only he actually had that 83 milā¦.
She canāt 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 heāll get away with it, too. Wheeee
