E. Jean Carroll’s accusations against Trump were dubious at best, yet Trump’s denial of her claims just resulted in a jury awarding Carroll ridiculously high punitive damages.

She sounds like a mentally deranged woman, and her rape accusations against Trump have never been proven in any court. Her award is for defamation by Trump - I'm no lawyers, so I have no idea whether he really defamed her under the definition of the law or not. If he'd simply politely dismissed her as the nutjob sha apparently is and said nothing, would there have been any lawsuit or trial or damages?

If I was to use the N-word in Detroit and got my face reconfigured it would be my fault.

Accusing a man of sexual assault is far more of an insult and getting a denial is far less damaging than fast fist facial reconfiguration.

Carroll had the opportunity to talk to a lawyer or the NYPD.

And the “200 lawyers” business is nonsense. If you assaulted a woman and wanted to hush it up, would you inform 200 lawyers?
