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.
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.
And that photo of Donald saluting a North Korean General was worth his weight in gold for propaganda use for them…
He’s smarter than Trump at least

Yes but that low of a bar is what is required to be dangerous.
Completely random, and nothing to do with anything:
Mice, which stands for “money”, “ideology”, “coercion/compromise” and “ego”.
Trump’s been in bed with the Russians for literally decades.
“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.”
Care to share? It sounds familiar but I just can’t place it
I think it’s The Breakfast Club
Yep!
You want more? You got it buster! How about a month of detention!
When I read these things I am tempted to believe more and more that all hope in humanity is lost. I can’t believe that our so-called allies in America are not able to recognize injustice and treat it the same way. Your society is finished - there is no other way to put it.
Half of all Americans have an IQ under 95.
In my opinion, moral decisions have nothing to do with IQ. I think that everyone is capable of making these conscience decisions. The question is rather whether if people are still able to decide things for themselves, given all the preconceived opinions that social media et al. dictates. This is not difficult in itself: you just have to decide what is right and what is wrong.
IQ is also a greatly flawed measure of intelligence, I score higher than people I know are much much smarter than me.
I also score higher when I take ADHD medicine, does it make me smarter? Fuck no, its just easier to test.
I honestly don’t think it’s possible for them to change. Their democracy is done. They are now a warning symbol to the world. I know I’ll start looking into my own countries politics . I’ve been addicted to the shit show coming from the states. I do always wonder how more extreme it is in the news then what the average American sees.
If he wins, we’re done. No doubt about it. However, if we hold back the fascists this election (this includes the House and Senate,) there is a real chance at landing a huge defeat to maga extremism in '26 and '28.
Yes, you should be paying attention to your local politics: right wing extremism is on the rise everywhere.
That’s right. The USA are a good example of the downfall of a democracy. Even the most powerful in the world; and all that for no good reason - maybe pure greed or hybris or whatever; i can’t make any sence of this. We can only learn from it. In any case, I am not prepared to accept this complete loss of any moral compass. A democracy should stand for all people. Not just for a few privileged ones.
I truly hope the American Dad time line is correct. That Mexico and Canada will join forces to demolish America
Will they bring universal healthcare, cheap/free college, tacos and poutine with them?
Empires have had an average lifespan of around 250 years. Outside of Rome which a case could be made that changes in its structure enabled it to last way longer.
Let’s just hope the fall of the American Empire doesn’t bring the whole world with it.
Defaming someone just as you’re arriving at a trial to determine how much extra you’re going to owe for defaming them again after already being fined for defaming them would be SUCH a badass move if it wasn’t so stupid and coming from someone so vile…
What is with all the leniency the courts are giving him? It feels like every month its “Judge orders Trump to stop doing thing he was ordered to stop doing several times already”, if I acted that way in any trial I guarantee I would be charged for contempt of court
They’re trying to provoke the judge so they can have room for appeal or at least fodder for his mentally stunted base. “This judge was so mean to me, I couldn’t get a fair trial.” Especially if they can make the judge snap at them, then that’s what it’s about: an unhinged, emotional, hothead judge abusing their power.
Luckily I think most of the judges smelled him coming and are just giving him all the rope he wants. That’s my hope at least. Then if they do jail him for contempt they’ve got stacks of evidence and second chances. I may be giving them too much credit.
When you’re famous they let you do it.
Class solidarity is drilled into rich white kids from the moment they’re born. He might be orange and dumb as dogshit but he remains a member of the rich white guy club.
He’s shooting people in the middle of Fifth Avenue. Judge: What are you going to do about it?
Thank you, Iowa voters!
/s
Just another reminder that Iowa voters are generally morons who back a loser more often than they pick a winner.
This should surprise nobody.
This man is secretly a socialist, as he is just giving away his money.
Hahaha boy I love this. On the hook for 10, who knows where it ends.
They need to double the fine on Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump each time.
These were civil rather than criminal charges, so he was liable rather than guilty, so he isn’t technically a convict.
You can just call him sex offender treason Trump, both are still 100% true, I just want to make sure that when you’re letting people know that Trump is a rapist and a traitor, they don’t have the opportunity to say “well ackshually…”
Since Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump himself would never make that distinction, we do not have to make that distinction while talking about Treason Trump.
Small Hands Hamberders and Covfefe much?
